tick, tick... BOOM! (2025)

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 that he made to achieve his big break in theatre. 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 takes you on the playwright/composer's journey that led to a Broadway blockbuster.

Recently adapted into an Oscar nominated Netflix film starring Andrew Garfield, this brand new production starred a cast of Dora Award-winning Canadian talent.
