tick, tick … BOOM!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Jonathan Larson with script consultant David Auburn <\/a><\/p>\n

\"tick<\/p>\n

Known for his phenomenal Broadway show Rent<\/a><\/em>, Jonathan Larson was a musical genius of the 80s and 90s. Recently popularized by Netflix<\/a> in the film tick, tick… BOOM!<\/a><\/em> starring Andrew Garfield<\/a>, this musical tells the tale of Jonathan Larson\u2019s trials and tribulations as an almost 30-year-old musical writer in New York City (before the creation of Rent<\/em>). Although Larson sadly passed away before he could see Rent<\/em>\u2019s Broadway debut, his impact on the world of music will never be forgotten.<\/p>\n

Tick, Tick– Boom!<\/a><\/em> by Jonathan Larson and Script Consultant David Auburn<\/a> is a look into the mind of Jonathan Larson, including the lyrics and music to his lesser known, Off-Broadway show Tick, Tick… Boom!<\/a><\/em>. There is no better way to immerse yourself in the world of Jonathan Larson before Rent<\/em>. This book<\/a> is available now at the Parsons Music Library<\/a>, along with a wide selection of other musical hits. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
