Good Time Theatrics presents

TICK, TICK… BOOM!

Written by Jonathan Larson

Directed by Kurtis Laing

“Everything you are about to see is true... except for the parts Jonathan made up.”

Tick, Tick... Boom! - Jonathan Larson's semi-autobiographical love letter to musical theatre - is a story where creativity soars at the expense of all else.

Delve into the intense journey of a passionate composer chasing his dreams amidst the relentless pulse of New York City's Broadway. In Tick, Tick... Boom!, the pursuit of artistic excellence takes center stage, illuminating the exhilarating highs and gut-wrenching lows of a life consumed by passion.

Join us for a performance that echoes Larson's own legacy. An often hilarious, at times haunting reminder of the power of creativity and the sacrifices it demands.

Performed with permission of Musical Theatre International (Australasia).

“It's a musical for dreamers who, despite all odds, keep going. For others, it gives a real insight into the struggles of an artist.” – The Music
