Title: Spectacularly intelligent show
Review: The cast recording of Tick, Tick... Boom! is absolutely a standout. With the current status of Broadway shows, you would be hard pressed to find another show with as much wit, heart, intelligence, and talent as this one. Overshadowed by it's brash brother "The Producers", Tick, Tick... Boom! doesn't hit you over the head with humor. It's an experience more reminiscent of a long talk with your funniest but most angst-ridden friend. The recording is lovely and well performed and does as much justice to the show as is possible on a CD. Like Rent, this is a rock-inspired musical with tributes to pop culture, Stephen Sondheim, and the importance of doing what is most important to you. But even more than Rent, this show will remind you of how talented Jonathon Larson really was-- and make you wish he was still around to compose.
