Cast announced for TICK, TICK... BOOM! at Theatr Clwyd
Theatr Clwyd has announced the cast of Jonathan Larson’s Tick, Tick... Boom!, which runs from 2-28 June, marking the reopening of the theatre following its major redevelopment.
Directed by Kate Wasserberg, the highly anticipated production is her first as Artistic Director of the North Wales theatre.
The cast includes Ryan Owen (My Favorite Year, Bridewell Theatre) as Jon, Christina Modestou (SIX, West End) as Susan, and Tarik Frimpong (The Drifters Girl, UK tour) as Michael.
Kate Wasserberg said: “We are delighted to begin a new era at Theatr Clwyd with such a fantastic show and such an amazing cast. Ryan Owen and Christina Modestou are two of Wales’ most exciting musical theatre talents and they are joined by the acclaimed Tarik Frimpong who brings a wealth of international experience. I am incredibly excited at the prospect of unveiling the redeveloped theatre to our audiences with Tick, Tick... Boom!. It is an apt title for this long-awaited moment.”
Jon is a struggling composer, stuck in a dead-end job, with a girlfriend who wants to settle down and a musical he can’t finish. Does he leave the city and his dreams behind, or follow his passion but risk losing everything? Tick, Tick... Boom! explores the ambition, perseverance and the sacrifice needed to reach the edge of greatness; written by Jonathan Larson, the visionary creator of the cult-classic RENT.
