“Everyone has heard of Rent,
but it’s time for you to hear about the man behind the story. You absolutely do
not want to miss this.” – Kaylee Gonzalez, featured as Susan and others in Tick, Tick…Boom!
Before Rent, there was Tick, Tick...Boom!. This
autobiographical musical by Jonathan Larson, the Pulitzer Prize- and TONY
Award-winning composer of Rent, is
the story of a composer and the sacrifices he made to achieve his big break in
theatre. Containing fourteen songs, ten characters, three actors, and a band, Tick, Tick...Boom! takes you on the
playwright/composer's journey that led to a Broadway blockbuster.
His girlfriend wants to get married and move out of the city, his best
friend is making big bucks on Madison Avenue, and yet Jon is still waiting on
tables and trying to write the great American musical. Set in 1990, this
compelling story of personal discovery is presented as a rock musical filled
with instantly appealing melodies and a unique blend of musical theatre styles.
Everyone 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.
David Joy is a familiar TA face and starring as Jon, the show’s
protagonist. Says Joy, “I wanted to do the show because it was created by
Jonathan Larson, the creator of Rent,
whose characters capture my generation’s angst and passion. I understand Jon’s
neurosis about turning 30 and feeling you have not ‘made it’ to where you
thought you would.”
Kaylee Gonzalez is quickly making a name for herself at TA and eager to
take on this challenging three-person show: “This has been one of the most
challenging yet rewarding shows I have been a part of. Everyone transitioning between characters and
the amazing three-part harmony results in a beautiful piece of work that will
keep you intrigued and invested throughout the entirety of the show.”
“Charming…loveable.”
– Talkin’ Broadway
“Searingly
honest, frank, and unabashedly personal.” – Chicago Tribune
“Stunning
stuff.” – Huffington Post
“A
valentine to the creative spirit itself.” – Denver Post
The Theatre Alliance production is directed by Jamie Lawson and
musically directed by David Lane. The cast stars David Joy, most recently seen
at TA in White Christmas, and Kaylee Gonzalez and James Crowe, who
were most recently seen in Tarzan.
