Pulitzer
Prize and Tony Award winner Lin-Manuel Miranda makes his feature
directorial debut with 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?
