Review of tick, tick… BOOM!
Posted on September 8th, 2008 3 commentsLindsay Christians’ review of tick, tick… BOOM! appeared today in 77 Square. Most of the fault is found with the show itself, which I think would have benefited from further workshopping before being published. I was mentioned by name (a first for me):
Jordan Peterson, playing primarily Jon’s best friend Michael, [...lends] his pleasant baritone to songs like “Real Life” and “Johnny Can’t Decide.” Peterson is animated in the entertaining “No More,” a song about his new apartment and the bohemian life he left behind, and believable as a successful executive who travels to escape his loneliness.
Props are given to the excellent band: Chris (keyboard & director), Mark (bass), Rocky (guitar), and Sean (drums), as well as Paul’s excellent lighting design and Meghan’s staging and costume design. It was a good opening weekend, and it’ll be over in a flash…only two more performances: Friday and Saturday. Our first rehearsal was just over 3 weeks ago; I’d say it’s going pretty well.

Good, truthful review. Luckily and rightly so, you got a thumbs up! The experience was at a good venue and another positive stepping stone to your theatrical career. Kudos to you!

YAY Jordan!!! Please keep doing shows like this one so I don’t have to sit through another romping around the woods in a Jester outfit. The business attire was much more sex-say! But seriously, well deserved. You know I’m proud, so I will shut up now.
