MONDAY MUSICALS: TICK, TICK…BOOM!

.

TICK, TICK…BOOM! Is a musical interpretation of Jonathon Larson (creator of RENT!)’s one-man show of the same name. This musical really surprised me, I wasn’t sure what to expect but I ended up loving it. This was interesting because it was so much about Jonathon Larson believing in his heart that he would make it someday and really putting everything he had into this musical, sacrificing his everyday life to get it to a workshop performance… all for it to not be made. The audience knows that he will make RENT! Someday and it will be a smash hit but the main character doesn’t know that and in fact he passes away before he gets to see his biggest hit come alive.

My sister and I started this experiment in June, trying to see as many musicals as possible and potentially changing my view of musicals in general. I don’t particularly enjoy musicals as movies, so this is an on-going experiment we invite you to join us on this adventure with our take on TICK, TICK…BOOM!

In an attempt to catch up on our “monthly” segment, we will be releasing an episode each Monday in the month of December.
