Tick Tick Boom! The 10 Bravest Characters

The musical biopic Tick, Tick…Boom! might focus on Jonathan Larson (Andrew Garfield) but it also explores the various characters in his life and the impact they had on his work. The ensemble is filled with characters who face difficult and grounded struggles that many people can relate to.

As the audience watches these characters deal with life-changing news and work to make their dreams come true, there is very real bravery to some of them. Others have more trouble facing these challenges than others, but it is interesting to see the different ways courage is depicted in Tick, Tick…Boom!

10 Walter Bloom

Tick Tick Boom! The 10 Bravest Characters

Though he has only a short scene, Walter Bloom is one of the movie’s funniest characters. He is one of the panelists on a musical workshop that Jon is participating in and shows that he is very insecure about voicing his own opinion in front of Broadway legend Stephen Sondheim.

Walter’s instinct is to be quite negative towards Jon’s musical, but when Stephen praises the work, Walter continues to backtrack and insist he was saying the same thing. It is a hilarious cowardly way of expressing himself.

9 Judy

Tick Tick Boom! The 10 Bravest Characters

When Jon is in the need of money, he takes a position as part of a focus group led by Judy. She is a very focused and enthusiastic person. However, she is also perhaps not the best person to lead a creative discussion as she seems unable to think outside the box.

Judy is excited by the cliché and obvious ideas of the group, wanting to play it safe. She also uses her enthusiasm to promote a product that is quite obviously dangerous, but she is unwilling to admit it.

8 Rosa Stevens

Rosa Stevens is another character who does not have a big role in the movie but makes a fairly big impact with her limited screen time. She is Jon’s agent who initially appears to be neglectful of her client but is actually more competent and caring than she seems.

She does put on a phony face, acting as if she is a long-time supporter of Jon, despite not knowing what he looks like. But when Jon’s musical fails to sell, she is brave enough to give him honest and helpful advice to move forward.

7 Karessa

Tick Tick Boom! The 10 Bravest Characters

Karessa has a big presence in the movie as one of the singers who help Jon tell his story through her amazing musical performance. However, in terms of her as a character, she is not given a lot of depth or personality besides showing support for Jon.

In one key moment, Karessa does show she is not one to back down from a challenge. Less than an hour before their show, Jon hands Karessa a new song to perform live. Instead of being daunted by it, Karessa embraces it as an opportunity.

6 Ira Weitsman

Tick Tick Boom! The 10 Bravest Characters

Ira Weitsman is one of Jon’s most loyal supporters and the man helping to make his workshop of his ambitious new play possible. While Jon’s excitement can sometimes get away from him, Ira is there to be the more grounded voice of reason.

However, even while Ira needs to be realistic, he also believes in Jon’s vision as an artist. With that inspiration, he is willing to take more risks and push what he thought was possible for the production.

5 Stephen Sondheim

Tick Tick Boom! The 10 Bravest Characters

Stephen Sondheim serves as a mentor figure to Jon in the movie. As the creator of so many legendary Broadway musicals, including Sweeney Todd and Into the Woods, he is someone Jon very much looks up to.

While Stephen could have been arrogant and selfish with his reputation, he chooses to use it to help younger artists, including Jon. He puts himself out there to encourage Jon’s work and show his support for his more challenging work.

4 Susan

Tick Tick Boom! The 10 Bravest Characters

The romance between Jon and Susan in the movie is quite heartbreaking as they are torn apart simply for going down different paths. Though a talented artist in her own right, Susan’s courage comes from facing her new future when pursuing her original dreams is no longer possible.

She is extremely supportive and loving towards Jon but also challenges him when he needs to be. When he becomes consumed with his work, she has to have the bravery for both of them to point out the relationship isn’t working anymore and move on without him.

3 Jon

Tick Tick Boom! The 10 Bravest Characters

Jon is a complex and compelling protagonist and the musical tells the true story of his journey as an artist. He is someone who has big dreams and is dedicated to making them a reality but also faces constant roadblocks and insecurity.

However, seeing Jon push past these relatable problems and continue to pursue what he loves is quite inspiring. While he sometimes lacks the bravery to face his relationship problems, he is also brave enough to admit when he’s wrong.

2 Freddy

Tick Tick Boom! The 10 Bravest Characters

Much of Jon’s work in the musical Rent was inspired by seeing various friends affected by the AIDS epidemic. Freddy is the first of his friends who battles the illness in the movie and he does so with plenty of courage.

When asked about his health, Freddy remains optimistic and positive even when it is not easy. Though things get worse for a time, he is able to recover and remains the same friendly and happy person he was before.

1 Michael

Michael is Jon’s best friend and very central to his journey in the movie. Despite them being very close, Michael and Jon are very different people. Michael stepped away from his dreams as an artist which shows a different kind of courage than Jon’s pursuits.

But while Michael has success in his career, he also has to face heartbreaking struggles which he takes on bravely. Michael is also not afraid to confront Jon when he is being selfish and still be able to support his friend in important moments.
