Review: TICK, TICK…BOOM! With a Special Comment from Richard (Ae! group) aka Michael
tick, tick…BOOM!: Premiering Off-Broadway in 2001, this production has been performed worldwide in countries such as Japan, the United Kingdom, and Canada. In 2021, it was adapted into a film, earning two Academy Award nominations. The legendary musical composer Jonathan Larson, who created the masterpiece “RENT” but passed away unexpectedly just before its opening night, based this work on his own life. This musical captures Larson’s unyielding passion for his dreams despite outside skepticism, his anxieties about the future, and his inner struggles, all woven together with remarkable music.
