SUMMER REVIEWS
Tick, tick Boom a Booming Success
Counter's "tick ... tick ... BOOM" is impeccably acted and sung by Ethan Paulini as Jonathan; Adam Berry as best friend, Michael; and Denise Parks as girlfriend Susan. They create a polished, fluid trio — especially, under Casey Sanderson's musical direction, in Larson's often complex, fast-moving songs.
Paulini, who never leaves the stage, is a personable, high-energy Everyman who is immediately charming and sympathetic. His dilemma speaks to any 20-something, especially working artists… Berry and Parks also assume — often hilariously — other bit parts, switching identities largely through vocal inflections, without changing costume. Each wows with solos, but the harmonies and strengths of the show's duets and trios are most impressive.
The band, led by Sanderson, is terrific. …missing this would be a real shame.
Cape Cod Times
‘Tick Tick Boom’ explodes with energy
Counter Production’s staging of Jonathan Larson’s “Tick Tick Boom” is about as good as it gets. The play, the music, the arrangements, the acting, the directing, the sets — all are just what they should be.
Susan Grilli’s direction has forged a top-notch show. Sanderson’s musical direction is perfect and forms an integral part of the night, as a full band on stage with three actors calls for a deft touch to be sure that the music, ranging from soft and tender to raucous, supports and doesn’t overwhelm. The three actors’ voices blend beautifully in this fast-paced musical interspersed with brief bits of sharp dialogue.
Great sets and lighting. Just one of those, I’m-so-glad-I-saw-it plays.
At the close of opening night the cast got a heartfelt standing ovation, and when the actors didn’t come back out for a second curtain call, the audience just patiently sat down and continued to applaud until they did.
Put this on your “to see” list. You won’t be sorry.
