'''''Tick, Tick... Boom!''''' (styled as '''''tick, tick... BOOM!''''') is a musical by [[Jonathan Larson]]. It tells the story of an aspiring composer named Jon, who lives in [[New York City]] in 1990. Jon is worried he has made the wrong career choice to be part of the [[performing arts]]. The story is [[semi-autobiographical]], as stated by Larson's father in the liner notes of the [[cast recording]] – Larson had been trying to establish himself in theater since the early 1980s.

Larson began to perform the piece as a solo work in 1990.  After his death in 1996, it was revised and revamped by playwright [[David Auburn]] as a three-actor piece and was premiered [[Off-Broadway]] in 2001.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|title=Tick, Tick...
