Ciara Renee Joins Tick, Tick...BOOM! Off-Broadway

Ciara Renée has joined the cast of the off-Broadway return of Jonathan Larson’s Tick, Tick…BOOM!. The stage and screen favorite will take on the role of Susan, joining the previously announced Nick Blaemire, who is set to play Jonathan, in the Keen Company production. Jonathan Silverstein will direct.

The production, which is scheduled to run from October 4 through November 20, has also announced that it will move from the previously reported Clurman Theatre at Theatre Row to the venue’s larger Acorn Theatre.

Renée made her Broadway debut in Big Fish before going on to star as the Leading Player in Pippin. She also took on the role of Esmerelda in the North American premiere of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. On screen, she’s known as Kendra Saunders (a.k.a. Hawkgirl) on the CW series Legends of Tomorrow, Arrow and The Flash.

The semi-autobiographical musical follows an aspiring composer as he approaches his thirtieth birthday. While preparing for the workshop debut of his new musical, he also balances his relationship with Susan, his long-term girlfriend, and Michael, his best friend. In addition to Susan, Renée will also take on the role of Karessa, the lead actress in the show-within-the-show.

Opening night is set for October 20. Additional casting and design team will be announced at a later date.
