Start the new year with a boom – Tick, Tick…Boom! comes to SALT January 12 – 21, 2024!
CHESTER SPRINGS, PA — Before Rent, there was Tick, Tick … Boom!, the autobiographical musical by Jonathan Larson, the Pulitzer Prize and Tony award–winning composer of Rent, is the story of an aspiring composer who questions his life choices on the eve of his thirtieth birthday. His girlfriend wants to get married and move out of the city, his best friend is making big bucks on Madison Avenue, and yet Jon is still waiting on tables and trying to write the great American musical.
“The big life question many people ask themselves: do I compromise on my dream or persevere? is at the center of this buoyant, joyous musical,” comments Lauren McComas, President and Artistic Director of SALT Performing Arts. “Even amid angst, stress, and pressure, the characters are in love with their craft, making the best of much of what is in their world. Tick, Tick…Boom! will resonate with anyone working towards a creative career and the struggles of poverty, relationships, and other real-world issues that come with it. However, these pressures are what make the musical work with both joyful highs combined with heavy emotional lows.”
