"tick, tick...BOOM" is Jonathan Larson's autobiographical musical about his approaching 30th birthday as his girlfriend wants to get married (..tick), his best friend is a very successful businessman (..tick) and he is still working as a waiter while trying to write the next Broadway hit musical (..BOOM!).

Press notes describe the musical was, "tick, tick...BOOM" was written by Jonathan Larson, the creator of "RENT" . Larson lived in poverty, waited tables, and worked seven years to bring his rock opera "Rent" to the stage -- only to collapse and die the night before previews were to open at the Off-Broadway New York Theater Workshop. Although he graduated with dreams of becoming an actor, Stephen Sondheim encouraged him to focus on composing. Larson was a Sondheim disciple and his early work suggested his future success".
