Kennedy Center stages Jonathan Larson musical, “Tick, tick...Boom!” directed by Neil Patrick Harris, starting Jan. 26.
, where it begins performances at the St. James Theatre on Oct. 31. Much of the Washington cast is returning, including Michael Urie, James Monroe Iglehart, Leslie Rodriguez Kritzer, Nik Walker and Jimmy Smagula. Joining them on Broadway will be Ethan Slater and Christopher Fitzgerald, with the casting of one key role, Lancelot, still to be announced.
Staging “Tick, tick … Boom!,” which chronicles the trials of a struggling New York musical-theater composer named Jonathan, carries a bit more expectational baggage in the aftermath of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s highly praised Harris, 50, says he’s always felt an affinity for Larson and his work. In 2010, he directed a revival of “Rent” at the Hollywood Bowl, with Aaron Tveit, Vanessa Hudgens, Wayne Brady and Skylar Astin. For that short run outdoor in Los Angeles, he added eight extra voices and six musicians to the orchestra. “I appreciated the Larson estate letting us take a stab at a larger style,” he said.
