A series of inventive vignettes, this knowing parody follows a young wonder as he strives to become, in his own person, the very greatest show on earth. Tracing the arc of his campaign, the play becomes a playful synthesis of biography and tabloid journalism–a sidelong glance at a meteoric rise and a catastrophic fall.CASTAndrea BelserRobert BranchCorin B.

Berko review: "tic. tick... Boom!" by Baldwin Wallace Musical Theatre Program/PlayHouseSquare
by Roy Berko 01 May '18

01 May '18

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *Capsule judgment: “tick, tick… Boom” gives a focused picture of Jonathan Larson, who created the seminal musical, “Rent” which carried the art form into the twenty-first century. It’s a shame that the production only ran for one weekend. It could easily have developed a cult following and run for a long, long time. * *To read the entire review go to: **www.royberko.info* <http://www.royberko.info> <http://www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com> *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*
