Review of tick, tick… BOOM!

Lindsay 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.
