Musical by Jonathan Larson

In German and English

Jon is a promising musical composer and lyricist, works as a waiter in New York and has dreamed of a career on Broadway for years. Despite intensive work and the clear vision of reforming musical theater and bringing it up to date, the big breakthrough is a long time coming. Begins shortly before his 30th birthday
to make him uneasy. He fundamentally questions his life decisions and feels the pressure from all sides: his girlfriend Susan longs for a tranquil family life with him, his childhood friend Michael wants him to get an office job with a secure income … panic.

tick tick... BOOM! is semi-autobiographical, existential and innovative. The play, originally performed by Larson himself on stage from 1990 as a one-man show, was posthumously re-adapted as a three-person play in 2001 and gained greater notoriety by 2021 at the latest through the award-winning Netflix feature film expansion. Larson himself was a door opener and pioneer for a new kind of musical: close to the themes of young people, close to the music of the time. With a pointed staging of the version for three actors, the Volksoper is also breaking new ground and proving once again that it is a creative place at the cutting edge.
