Waking Up A Generation

Before he electrified the world with RENT, Jonathan Larson was a young man struggling to make his mark in the theatre. While he waits tables and seeks his big break, the pressure to give it all up grows as Jon approaches his 30th birthday.

tick, tick…Boom! is an exhilarating musical masterpiece that dives deep into the world of dreams, aspirations, and the ticking clock of life. This iconic autobiographical musical by Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning composer of RENT, Jonathan Larson, is the story of his trials and triumphs, who on the verge of turning 30 is facing the harsh realities of pursuing his passion.

Set in 1990 and scored by the music that redefined a genre, tick, tick…Boom! cracks open the ticking-time-bomb world of creating theatre to celebrate the power of finding your voice and holding on to a dream.

Jonathan's Story

Jonathan Larson: 1960 – 1996

Jonathan was an American composer, lyricist and playwright who revolutionised Broadway with his ground-breaking Tony Award winning rock musical RENT.

Jonathan Larson: 1993

Jon’s seminal work RENT was first seen in a workshop production in 1993. Rent premiered on Broadway in 1996 and gained critical acclaim winning several awards including the Tony Award for Best Musical.

Jonathan Larson: 1996

Sadly, Jonathan passed away on January 25, 1996 before the first Off-Broadway preview of Rent. But while the world has lost a musical genius, the impact and legacy of Jonathan Larson lives on…
