TROY_Tick Tick Boom loogTICK! TICK!…BOOM!
Presented by Troy Civic Theatre
May 22-30
Troy

Cast: Derek Dunavent as Jon, Charis Weible as Susan & Robert Hyer as Michael

Before Rent, there was TICK! TICK!…BOOM!. This autobiographical musical by Jonathan Larson, the Pulitzer Prize- and TONY Award-winning composer of Rent, is the story of a composer and the sacrifices he made to achieve his big break in theatre. Containing fourteen songs, ten characters, three actors, and a band, TICK! TICK!…BOOM! takes you on the playwright/composer’s journey that led to a Broadway blockbuster.

His girlfriend wants to get married and move out of the city, his best friend is making big bucks on Madison Avenue, and yet Jon is still waiting on tables and trying to write the great American musical. Set in 1990, this compelling story of personal discovery is presented as a rock musical filled with instantly appealing melodies and a unique blend of musical theatre styles.

  • Sister Robert Anne (mezzo) A streetwise tough character from Brooklyn – a constant source of aggravation for the Mother Superior.
  • Sister Mary Amnesia (soprano) A sweet, but spacy nun who has lost her memory and does not know who she is.
  • Sister Mary Leo (mezzo) A novice, who has entered the convent with the firm desire to become the first nun balleria.
  • Sister Julia, Child of God – Convent cook
  • Brother/Sister Brendan – Novice
  • Brother/Sister Luke – Novice

  • Father Virgil – Sr. Leo’s Brother
