TICK TICK…BOOM! Comes To NIDA’s Parade Playhouse July 12-16
TICK TICK...BOOM! composed by the creator of hit musical RENT Jonathan Larson will have its
first professional production ever in Australia playing for one week only at NIDA's Parade
Playhouse, Parade Theatres from 12 to 16 July.
A musical look at the courage it takes to follow your dreams, Tick Tick...Boom! is Jonathan
Larson's autobiographical tale of a young composer on the brink of turning 30 and falling into
oblivion. His girlfriend (Melle Stewart) wants to get married and move out of the city (TICK,),
his best friend (Justin Smith) is making big bucks on Madison Avenue (TICK...), yet Jon (Tyran
Parke) is still waiting on tables and trying to write the great American musical (BOOM!).
Containing 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.
Filled with instantly appealing melodies, and a unique blend of pop and musical theatre styles,
everyone, regardless of age, will love this youthful, endearing, and thoughtful piece, and will
surely embrace the universal ideal of holding onto your dreams through life's most difficult
challenges.
