“As Jon, Luc Clopton sports in winning fashion Larson’s gentle flop of hair and a needy, but self-deprecating nature. There’s hopefulness as well angst in his conveyance.”
The Orange County Register
“rest assured that you’ll be getting the absolute best possible introduction to this autobiographical Jonathan Larson gem at the Chance…they don’t get any better than this”

“mind-blowing production”
The Show Report
“a commendable production that does justice to Larson’s legacy.”
Stage Raw
“Tick, Tick… Boom! is that rare contemporary Broadway musical that is pretty perfect, especially the Chance Theater production, which is superlative.”
Broadway World Los Angeles
“Affordability in a world of rising inflation is increasingly rare, but with local theaters like Chance, being cheap does not have to correlate with a lack of quality. Clopton, Ceja, and Houle harmonize as a synergistic trio that’s as deeply reflective and soulful as any actor could hope to pull off.”
UCSD’s The Guardian
“Director H. Adam Harris has crafted an emotionally powerful, yet sadly joyful, and intimate experience that allows each actor to shine.”
Fanboy Nation
“Chance Theater conceptualized a refreshing take to a relatively intimate story”
SoCal Thrills
“a fluid and immersive experience”
