Though three years shy from turning 30, actor-singer Khalil Joseph Nepomuceno Ramos, aka Khalil Ramos, has effectively portrayed the lead character, Jon, in the three-actor musical, 'tick, tick…BOOM!' featuring the music and lyrics by Jonathan Larson.

In Jonathan Larson’s semi-autobiographical musical, 'tick, tick…BOOM!' the character of Michael is loosely based on the composer-lyricist’s best friend Matt O’Grady.

Jon (Jef Flores, Khalil Ramos), the protagonist in Jonathan Larson's 'tick, tick.... BOOM!' is a struggling composer who is days away from turning 30. He can’t help but hear that internal clock clicking: he doesn’t want to turn a year older without something groundbreaking to show.
