Book, Music, & Lyrics by Jonathan Larson

Tick, Tick...Boom, is the captivating musical masterpiece by the late, great Jonathan Larson (RENT). Set in the bustling streets of New York City, this electrifying production ignites the stage with raw emotion and unyielding passion.

With an energetic and eclectic score that seamlessly blends rock, pop, and musical theater, Tick, Tick...Boom pulses with vibrant melodies and poignant lyrics. It's a celebration of the human spirit, a battle cry for anyone who has ever dared to chase their dreams, and a heartfelt tribute to Larson's own artistic journey.

Don't miss this explosive theatrical event, where dreams and desperation collide in the city that never sleeps.
