Read MoreTick Tick Boom, a Triangle Productions presentation at the Sanctuary 1785 NE Sandy, through September 27, is an autobiographical musical by Jonathon Larson. It is set in 1990. It takes place in the days leading up to Mr. Larson’s thirtieth birthday. The tick tick is the clock in his head that reminds him that he is now older than his father was when he was born, that many others, including Napoleon, had accomplished great things before they were 30, that his great plans had not come to fruition, that his life was tick tick ticking away with his dreams unrealized.

Read MoreJonathan Larson is feeling anxious. He’s about to turn 30 and is still waiting tables in New York while struggling to get his long-slaved-over rock musical produced. Of course, he did ultimately succeed in getting a rock show on Broadway, but not before his untimely death at age 35. You’ve probably heard of it. That show was Rent. But before his work became widely known, Larson wrote Tick, Tick… Boom!, an autobiographical show based on his own years of struggle that's currently being staged at Triangle Productions.

Read MoreI have to confess that without a program a reviewer is somewhat lost. So, if I get names, dates, titles of songs, wrong or missing, etc., I apologize. But, with that in mind, on with the “really big shew,” as Mr. Sullivan would say. Yes, this is a type of talk/variety show that might have existed 40+ years ago. It is a bit of afternoon talk show, via Merv, or the edgier, late-night variety, via Johnny.

Read MoreTwo semi-biographical musical theater pieces open in the same weekend. One commemorates Native American jazz musician Jim Pepper. It’s fueled by a positive attitude and bound for simplicity. The other rebukes Jewish Ponzi-scheme perpetrator Bernie Madoff. What emotions is it fueled by, and what’s it driving at? At what point(s) will the two musicals meet, and at what angle(s) will they diverge?
