Keen Company has extended its acclaimed revival of Jonathan Larson's Tick, Tick… BOOM! at Theatre Row's Acorn Theatre through December 18. Closing was originally scheduled for November 20.

Spring Awakening and Wicked vet Lilli Cooper will join the production beginning November 22. She replaces Ciara Renée, who originated the role of Susan and departs on November 20. Cooper joins a cast that also includes Godspell vets Nick Blaemire and George Salazar.

Tick, Tick…BOOM! is an autobiographical musical by the late Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winner Jonathan Larson (Rent). It is the story of an aspiring composer questioning his life choices on the eve of his 30th birthday. Directed by Keen Company's Jonathan Silverstein, the production will have musical direction by Joey Chancey and choreography by Christine O'Grady. David Auburn serves as script consultant.
