Music, Lyrics, and Book by Jonathan Larson
January 24 to February 23, 2025
Cripe Stage at the Bette Aitken theater arts Center.
The first show in Chance Theater’s 2025 season.
Directed by H. Adam Harris, this raw and heartful musical explores the life of Jonathan Larson as he confronts the pressures of turning 30 and creating a lasting legacy. Set in 1990, Tick, Tick… Boom! combines humor, energy, and heart with Larson’s unmistakable voice and a score that redefined the musical theater genre.
WHAT: Tick, Tick…BOOM!
Get ready to experience the electrifying mind behind Rent! Before Jonathan Larson revolutionized Broadway, he was a young man struggling to make his mark. This autobiographical musical, set in 1990, is a raw, humorous, and heartfelt journey of a composer on the brink of turning 30—waiting tables and wondering if he’ll ever write that soaring song that will change everything. His girlfriend wants to get married and move out of the city, and his best friend is making big bucks on Madison Avenue. Will he give up his dream and sell out just to keep the lights on? Will he lose the love of his life? Scored by music that redefined a genre, Tick, Tick… Boom! takes you on the writer’s journey that led to a Broadway blockbuster. It’s a must-see for anyone who’s ever chased a dream. If you loved Rent, this show will speak to your soul. Don’t miss the chance to experience the genius of Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning composer Jonathan Larson in a whole new way!
