tick, tick…BOOM!

It is 1990, Jonathan, an aspiring musical theatre writer despondently waiting tables in order to pay the rent, is facing his impending 30th birthday with great distress. Jon’s girlfriend, Susan, wants to get married and leave the city for a quiet domestic life by the sea. Jon’s best friend, Michael, has given up acting for a high paying corporate job, bought a BMW, and is moving to the parquet wood floors of Uptown Manhattan. With fourteen songs, ten characters, three actors, and a band, tick, tick…BOOM! is a powerful and intimate look at facing a crossroads and holding onto dreams.

tick, tick…BOOM! stars Dean Armstrong (Broadway cast of RENT, Blake on Showtime’s Queer As Folk) as Jonathan, Michael Dufays (Second City Touring Company) as Michael and Daphne Moens (Cabaret, New Yorker Theatre) as Susan. Director Mario D’Alimonte is joined by Musical Director Wayne Gwillim.
