Tick, Tick...BOOM! Will Welcome Lilli Cooper & Extend Off-Broadway; Ciara Renee Sets Final Performance Date

The off-Broadway revival of Tick, Tick…BOOM! has extended its run at Theatre Row and will welcome a new Susan. The Keen Company production will run at the Acorn Theatre through December 18 instead of the previously announced November 20. Beginning November 22, Lilli Cooper will step into the role of Susan, taking over for Ciara Renée.

Cooper will join a cast that includes Nick Blaemire and George Salazar. She last appeared on Broadway in Wicked, where she served as the Elphaba standby. She made her debut in Spring Awakening as Martha. Her additional credits include The SpongeBob Musical, The Wildness, Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812 and Noir.

The semi-autobiographical musical follows aspiring composer Jon (Blaemire) as he approaches his thirtieth birthday. While preparing for the workshop debut of his new musical, he also balances his relationship with Susan (Renée), his long-term girlfriend, and Michael (Salazar), his best friend.

The new production, directed by Jonathan Silverstein, opened officially on October 20.
