Tick, Tick...Boom! to have a 6 week run in Los Angeles

Posted: 5/21/06 at 11:51am

Just saw the half page ad in today's LA Times.

The show will be at the Coronet Theatre and will feature Andrew Samonsky, Wilson Cruz and Tami Tappan Damiano.

This should be interesting as I still haven't had an opportunity to see this show live.

That's so cool! I'd really like to see this show live someday, but this one's on the wrong coast for me. If anyone sees it, post a review.

I saw Wilson in it, and he's quite good. He had a lot to prove to me, since I'd seen Jerry Dixon's performance.

Plus, Wilson is very sweet and a completely unrepentent flirt.

This would seem to be the same production, directed by Schwartz, that played up in Ventura a couple of months ago. Damiano in for Natascia Diaz is the only change. I saw it and highly recommend it.

I knew about this awhile ago (from a friend of Natascia Diaz...)

Diaz was offered this production but turned it down because, at the time she would have had to commit, she was in the final callback stages for Diana in the "Chorus Line" revival, and she wanted to keep her options open for that. Unfortunately, she didnt end up getting the role...

There were talks that Neil Patrick Harris was going to be in this run as Jonathan.

I assume he took All My Sons instead.

Andrew Samonsky was a fine Jonathon - no worries there.

Oh, I heard that another production on the West Coast was happening, but I didn't know where. I wish that I could see it onstage again, but none of the East Coast productions have been anywhere near me.

Plus, Wilson is very sweet and a completely unrepentent flirt.

Wow, I actually agree with Namo. But Wilson is so sweet.

Neil Patrick Harris was incredible in the london production. So much dedication, energy and craft.
