Review: TICK, TICK… BOOM! at The Carnegie
This past Friday evening on July 19th, The Carnegie in Covington, Kentucky opened their latest show of the 2024 summer theatre season. By the end of the night, this new production Jonathan Larson’s musical Tick, Tick… Boom! was met with a huge positive reaction. Written by the man who would go on to pen the Pulitzer Prize-winning musical Rent just a few years later, Tick, Tick… Boom! takes a look at themes from Larson’s own life and presents them in a semi-autobiographical fashion. After Larson’s death in 1996, acclaimed playwright David Auburn reconstructed the original one-man show into a fully fledged, multi-character musical that went on to premiere Off-Broadway in 2001. As a result, the foreshadowing within the show is apparent when considering his future theatrical tour de force, as well as the heartbreak of his unexpected passing during the process of said project.
