tick...tick...BOOM: Therapy

Before Rent, there was tick, tick… BOOM!. This autobiographical musical by Jonathan Larson, the Pulitzer Prize– and Tony Award–winning composer of Rent, is the story of an aspiring composer who questions his life choices on the eve of his thirtieth birthday.

Lin-Manuel Miranda, Leslie Odom, Jr., and Karen Olivo starred in the Encores! Off-Center production at New York City Center in 2014.

I love how different this and the movie are. Lin and Karen are PISSED, Andrew and Vanessa are simply UNHINGED. Its both fantastic.

[Hello-mytx]

I wish this was how arguments worked in real life, just aggressively singing over each other until you're satisfied.

[NeelTheSphynx]

I totally buy Karen's acting here. She is PISSED!

And then the song ends and it's just laughter.

IS NOBODY GONNA MENTION HOW LIN IS ALL PUFFED UP AND INDIGNANT AND ADORABLE TILL HE SEES KAREN CRACK UP AND LAUGHS ALONG WITH HER

[isapaley]

what would have happened if Hamilton and Angelica got married....

[atlasprdx]

Lin's look here is so weird bc is like a transition between Usnavi and Hamilton but still none of them

[miliiii]

Lin really seems to like Tik, Tik… Boom, He should consider making a movie or something about it. Andrew Garfield might be perfect for the role.

[Lovexx]

Here after watching Tick Tick Boom, Andrew Garfield and Vanessa Hudgens' version of Therapy combining with their ridiculous choreography was hilarious 😂😂

[elizabethlazar]

Karen Olivio's voice solves all my problems

[Koribaby]

I love this. Though Karen's voice overpowers Lin's by a lot. But Karen's voice is also a gift to the planet, sooo... conflicted. Also, their facial expressions are perfect.

[newzealand]

ooo usnavi and vanessa having problems lol

[lonelypotato]

it amazes me how people can say Lin can’t sing. His voice here is incredible.

[allygmo]

Why do I feel like this is why Farmer Refuted exists?

[lookatyoulot]

This version of the song sounds like they're having a actual argument while Andrew's and Vanessa's sounds more as a unhinged puppet like argument. Both are great.

[ZepplinOnFire]

Lin is great but Karen is INCREDIBLE!!! Her acting and singing are utterly seamless.

[lonebuttingsrud]

They are even turning the pages angrily! I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!

[caylius]

Imagine Jean Valjean and Javert singing this instead of The Confrontation tho

[oliviaraines]

ok people are saying lin isn’t the strongest singer, which i guess is true, but does anyone else think he sings like an ANGEL. like from 1:57 - 2:10 his voice is beautiful. is it just me?

[linp]

HER DRESS HAS POCKETS (I mean they have lovely voices) BUT HER DRESS HAS POCKETS

[lnfinityandbeyond]

TICK BOOM then it happened .... but no one else was in the room where it happened
