"The Countdown" is a classic musical created by Jonathan Larson. It tells the story of a young composer wandering between dreams and reality, full of profound thoughts on ideals, youth and the passage of time. The protagonist of the story, Joe, is about to celebrate his 30th birthday, but he has not yet made a name for himself in the theater world. He lives in a small apartment in New York, works in a restaurant to make a living, and at the same time works hard to create his own musical works, hoping to enter Broadway in one fell swoop. However, the people around him are choosing a stable life: his girlfriend Susan is eager to leave the city and settle in the suburbs, and his good friend Mike has given up his dream of becoming an actor and entered the business world. Joe feels the double pressure from life: the pressure of time and the reality of society. Just when he began to doubt his choice, he was encouraged by the legendary composer Stephen Sondheim, and finally Joe strengthened his faith. "Countdown" uses dynamic music and sincere and moving lyrics to depict a young man's struggle between ideals and reality. This is not only Jonathan Larson's confession to himself, but also a portrayal that resonates with countless dream chasers. This time, let us feel it live, truly resonate, and hold on to the voice of our dreams!
