Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })tick, tick... BOOM! is a musical with music and lyrics by Jonathan Larson (RENT). The work is partly autobiographical, although it wasn't produced in its finished form until 2001, five years after Larson's death. The show is also partially a tribute to Larson's idol, Stephen Sondheim, with its plot bearing similarities to Company. One song, "Sunday", is an update of a song of the same name from Sunday in the Park with George.The show's main character is Jon, a struggling composer about to celebrate his 30th birthday. His best friend Michael, a successful businessman, encourages Jon to pursue a more stable, better-paying career. Jon's girlfriend Susan, a dancer working as a ballet instructor, is ready to settle down and start a family. In the middle of trying to get his own musical produced, Jon has to decide what he really wants to do with his life.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })A film adaptation, directed by Lin-Manuel Miranda and starring Andrew Garfield as Jon, was released on Netflix November 19, 2021.

Both Sides Have a Point: Susan and Jon's argument, about whether or not they should move to the Berkshires for her new job. On the one hand, Susan tells Jon that many dancers don't get a second chance after suffering a bad injury. She's been having to work as a secretary for long hours just to make rent, and they barely have creative space. The studio in question is willing to give Jon all the space that he needs to compose. Jon, on the other hand, has a legitimate point that his big break could potentially come up, and he needs to put all of his efforts into it for this week. Having to decide whether or not to move in the middle of potential investors seeing Superbia is factoring in a lot of uncertainties.
