Tick, Tick... BOOM! at Center Stage Theater

Out of the Box Theatre Company presents Tick, Tick... BOOM!

Before Rent, there was Tick, Tick... Boom!. This autobiographical musical by Jonathan Larson, the Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning composer of Rent, is the story of a composer and the sacrifices that he made to achieve his big break in theatre. Jonathan is a young theatre composer whos waiting tables at a New York City diner in 1990 while writing what he hopes will be the next great American musical. Days before hes due to showcase his work in a make-or-break performance, Jon is feeling the pressure from everywhere: from his girlfriend Susan, who dreams of an artistic life beyond New York City; from his friend Michael, who has moved on from his dream to a life of financial security; amidst an artistic community being ravaged by the AIDS epidemic.
