Netflix has dropped the official trailer for tick, tick…BOOM, the autobiographical musical of Rent creator Jonathan Larson, starring Academy Award nominee and Tony Award winner Andrew Garfield.
The film is Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda’s feature directorial debut.
tick, tick…BOOM follows the story of Jon,
a young theater composer who works at a New York City diner in 1990 “while writing what he hopes will be the next great American musical.”Here’s the synopsis from Netflix:
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?
Larson never got to see Rent become a smash success. He died suddenly of an aortic aneurysm on January 25, 1996, the day the musical was to have its first Off-Broadway preview performance.
Starring alongside Garfield are Alexandra Shipp, Robin de Jesús, Joshua Henry, Mj Rodriguez, Bradley Whitford, Tariq Trotter aka Black Thought of The Roots, 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 set to premiere on Netflix on November 19.
