Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winner Lin-Manuel Miranda makes his feature directorial debut with the unusally nameed musical "tick, tick…BOOM!"- an adaptation of the autobiographical musical by Jonathan Larson, who revolutionized theater as the creator of "Rent".
The film follows Jon (Academy Award nominee and Tony Award winner Andrew Garfield), a young theater composer who’s waiting tables at a New York City diner in 1990 while writing what he hopes will be the next great American musical. Days before he’s due to showcase his work in a make-or-break performance, Jon is feeling the pressure from everywhere: from his girlfriend Susan, who dreams of an artistic life beyond New York City; from his friend Michael, who has moved on from his dream to a life of financial security; amidst an artistic community being ravaged by the AIDS epidemic. With the clock ticking, Jon is at a crossroads and faces the question everyone must reckon with: What are we meant to do with the time we have?
"tick, tick…BOOM!" also Alexandra Shipp, Robin de Jesús, Joshua Henry, MJ Rodriguez, Bradley Whitford, Tariq Trotter, Judith Light, and Vanessa Hudgens. The film is written by Tony Award winner Steven Levenson, and produced by Brian Grazer and Ron Howard for Imagine Entertainment, Julie Oh, and Lin-Manuel Miranda.
"tick, tick…BOOM!" is coming to Netflix this fall 2021. Use the hashtag #ticktickboomnetflix on your social media posts.
