Before RENT, there was tick, tick…BOOM!Hugh Sheridan stars as the struggling artist wrestling with one of life’s biggest questions: What do we do with the time we have?
It’s 1990, and Jon — a promising composer on the brink of turning 30 — is at a crossroads. His girlfriend is ready to move on, his best friend is climbing the corporate ladder, and Jon is still waiting tables while trying to finish the musical he believes will change everything.
Directed by Trudy Dunn and Musical Direction by Kohan van Sambeeck, the show features passionate rock songs and sweeping melodies performed by a live onstage band, tick, tick…BOOM! is a vibrant, uplifting, and unforgettable theatrical experience.
Recently adapted into a hit film by Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, this beloved musical features fourteen songs and ten characters who take you on the journey that lit the fuse for a future Broadway phenomenon.
Following a triumphant three–capital city tour in 2023, this acclaimed production comes to Cairns for three performances only — featuring the original stellar cast.
