'''''tick, tick... BOOM!''''' is a [[The Musical|musical]] with music and lyrics by [[Rent|Jonathan Larson]]. The work was partly autobiographical, although it was not produced until after Larson's death in 1996. The show is also partily a tribute to Larson's idol, [[Stephen Sondheim]], with its plot driven similarly to ''Company''. One song, "Sunday", is an update of a song of the same name from ''[[Sunday in The Park With George]]''.
The show's main character is Jon, a struggling composer about to celebrate his 30th birthday. His [[Black Best Friend|best friend]] Michael, a successful businessman, encourages Jon to pursue a more stable, better-paying career. Jon's girlfriend Susan, a dancer working as a ballet instructor, is ready to settle down and start a family. In the middle of trying to get his own musical produced, Jon has to decide what he really wants to do with his life.
