It is important to note that the adapted version of the musical is an adaptation of the one man show that Jonathan wrote, and there are differences with the full musical version (but the movie is fantastic, so it does not matter). Also, he looks a lot like Jonathan: at the very start of the movie, I thought they put in a clip of Jon, but I was wrong! Bradley Whitford’s portrayal of Stephen Sondheim blew my mind - I did not even recognize who the actor was until I looked him up! Robin de Jesus killed it as Jon’s best friend Michael – I cannot wait to see him in more movies, television shows, and musicals in the future! The movie also has a TON of cameos from Broadway legends, so make sure to pay attention because some are blink, and you will miss it moments (especially make sure to watch the diner brunch scene!) Tick, Tick.Boom is Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda’s directorial debut and he aced it! The casting (especially with Andrew Garfield as Jonathan) is exceptional: Andrew learned how to sing and play piano so he could completely BECOME Jonathan. The movie stars Andrew Garfield (The Amazing Spiderman, Hacksaw Ridge), Alexandra Shipp (Love Simon, Dark Phoenix), Robin de Jesus (The Boys in the Band, Camp), and Vanessa Hudgens (High School Musical, Beastly). Also, trigger warnings for: homelessness, homophobia, the AIDS crisis, discussion of drug use, alcohol, grief, death, and sexual content. The movie (and musical) is about Jonathan’s life and his process creating his first musical (that sadly did not become successful) Superbia. The highly anticipated movie adaptation of the late Jonathan Larson’s first hit musical Tick, Tick.Boom recently came out in theatres (November 12th) and on Netflix (November 19th).
