Story
Before Rent, Jonathan Larson had another story to tell--his own. tick, tick...BOOM! is the musical tale of Jonathan's days as a struggling artist in SoHo. It is 1990, and Rent is still six years away from its Broadway debut. He is on the verge of 30--faced with life-altering choices and fighting to keep his dreams. His girlfriend wants to get married and move out of the city; his best friend is making big bucks on Madison Avenue; and he's still waiting tables and trying to write the great American musical. With fourteen songs, ten characters, three actors, and a band, tick, tick...BOOM! takes you on the playwright/composer's journey that led to the Broadway blockbuster, Rent.
