Lin-Manuel Miranda is making his feature directorial debut with ‘tick, tick…BOOM!,’ an adaptation of the autobiographical musical by Jonathan Larson, the man who created ‘Rent.’ The movie follows Jonathan Larson when he’s a young theater composer and waiting tables in 1990 while writing what he hopes will be the next great American musical. Before he’s expected to showcase his musical, Jonathan begins to feel pressure from all sides of his life — professional and personal. The movie ‘tick, tick…BOOM!’ stars Andrew Garfield as the one and only Jonathan Larson. This role marks the first time that Andrew has performed publicly. Additional cast includes Alexandra Shipp as Susan, Robin de Jesús as Michael, Joshua Henry as Roger, MJ Rodriguez as Carolyn, Bradley Whitford as Stephen Sondheim, Tariq Trotter as H.A.W.K. Smooth, Judith Light as Rosa Stevens, and Vanessa Hudgens as Karessa. See more photos of the ‘tick, tick…BOOM!’ cast in our gallery now.
