What a way to spend the day!

On this very special episode of Breaking the Curtain, we're joined by Matt O'Grady, Jonathan Larson's best friend and the real-life inspiration behind Michael in Tick, Tick... BOOM! and Angel in RENT.

In a beautiful follow up to our season opener, The Life and Legacy of Jonathan Larson, tune in to hear about Jon’s life, art, and healing from someone very near and dear to him.

We are so grateful to Matt for taking the time to share personal stories and memories with us as well as chat all about the wonderful Academy Nominated film ‘Tick, Tick… BOOM!!
