Brookfield Theatre presents Jonathan Larson’s hit Off-Broadway rock musical tick, tick… BOOM! This production, directed by Beth Bonnabeau with music directed by Sarah Fay, features some of Connecticut’s finest actors starring David Anctil as Jon, Laura Majidian as Susan, and Bennett Glenn Cognato as Michael, along with a terrific rock band!

Tick, tick... BOOM! tells the story of Jon, a struggling composer whose life seems to be going nowhere. About to turn 30 and still waiting tables for a living, Jon is desperately scared that he may never "make it" on Broadway. The pressure to break out or give up only grows as Jon’s girlfriend, Susan, announces that she wants to get married and move out of the city, and his best friend, Michael, quits acting and finds huge financial success as a Madison Avenue corporate executive. Jon’s new musical SUPERBIA has a great workshop but no prospects, and as time ticks by, Jon wonders if maybe his friends are right and it’s time to throw in the towel. Written by Jonathan Larson (creator of RENT) as a deeply personal peek into the life of an artist, tick, tick... BOOM! follows one man’s journey to define success on his own terms.

Brookfield Theatre's production of tick, tick… BOOM! runs October 21, 22, 23, 28, 29, 30, and November 4 and 5, with a free preview for area seniors on Thursday, October 20. Shows are 8pm on Friday & Saturday with matinees on Sunday at 2pm. Tickets for general admission are $25 or $20 for seniors over 65 and students. To purchase tickets, visit brookfieldtheatre.org.
