This October, Nick Blaemire leads the Keen Company’s revival of Jonathan Larson’s Tick, Tick…BOOM!. Immediately after it was announced the office was a buzz with dreamcast scenarios for the show’s other two leads—Kyle Scatliffe is the clear choice for Michael, and here are our staff picks of the 10 ladies we want to see sing their faces off as Susan (and are the right age to be dating Nick Blaemire in a small, close theatre...and could be free this fall).

Alysha Umphress

Rebecca Naomi Jones

Jessica Keenan Wynn

Nicolette Robinson

Helene Yorke

Jasmine Cephas Jones

Krysta Rodriguez

Whitney Bashor

Lindsay Mendez

’Tick, Tick…BOOM!’ begins performances at The Clurman Theatre at Theatre Row on October 4.
