'Tick, Tick ... Boom' at Edison Valley Playhouse

"Tick, Tick ... Boom" continues its run tonight at Edison Valley Playhouse.

Written by composer Jonathan Larson, who won a Pulitzer and two Tony awards for his musical "Rent," "Tick,Tick ... Boom!" is Larson's autobiographical tale of a young composer on the brink of turning 30 and falling into oblivion.

The shows takes audiences on the playwright-composer's journey that led to the Broadway blockbuster "Rent." 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 tables and trying to write the great American musical. Set in 1990, this compelling story of personal discovery is a rock musical filled with appealing melodies and a unique blend of musical styles.

"Tick, Tick ... Boom" is directed by David Christopher, and features musical direction by Greg Scalera and choreography by Michele Mossay.

Starring Tony Mowatt, Krissy Daniels and Jonathan G. Galvez, "Tick, Tick ... Boom" will run through May 25, with shows at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and at 2 p.m. May 19. Tickets cost $20 for adults and $15 for seniors and students.

Reservations are available online, or by calling (908) 755-4654.
