Tick, Tick… Boom! is a semi-autobiographical musical by Jonathan Larson, the creator of Rent.

Set in 1990, it follows Jon, a struggling composer approaching his 30th birthday, grappling with his dreams of writing the next great American musical.

As he faces mounting pressure from his girlfriend Susan, who wants to settle down, and his best friend Michael, who has traded artistic ambition for financial stability, Jon questions whether pursuing his passion is worth the sacrifices.

Through witty songs and heartfelt monologues, Tick, Tick… Boom! explores themes of love, friendship, ambition, and the fear of running out of time. It’s a poignant celebration of creativity and the perseverance required to follow one’s dreams.

Larson received three Tony Awards and the Pulitzer Prize for Rent, which was later adapted into a film. Tick, Tick… Boom! received an Off-Broadway production in 2001 and was also adapted into a film in 2021.

When life starts to fade into a summery drowsy twilight, you should be taking things a little easier…
But for Henry Preece, embarking on early retirement with his attractive wife, things start to go seriously wrong.

“All my life, I’ve either been looking back at happy times that have gone or looking forward to the happiness to come.”
In Hugh Whitemore’s elegant and tantalising play, the mystery and excitement of an unexpected passion is given full rein, until Henry realises that the door he’s just flung open should have remained tightly shut.

More info soon.

Featuring:  Ella McCaughey, Blair Price-Morgan, Zoe Violet, Brittany Isaia, Joshua Hollander, Natalie Wiles, Alicia Lori, Artorius Emanuel, Luca Daniel, Sophie Boyland, Jane Anderson, Kayla Rollason, Ava Scullion and Eliza Sear-Rigg.
