#Ticktick review full
Which would premiere off-Broadway in 1996, the same day that Larson died, at age 35, of an undiagnosed aortic aneurysm.ĭon’t worry, these aren’t spoilers: the film details Larson’s full arc right off the top. That last point is important, as anyone who knows Larson’s backstory also knows that he found fame not for Superbia, but for a little sensation called Rent. There’s his unhappy dancer girlfriend (Alexandra Shipp), his lonely best friend (Robin de Jesus), his powerful but inattentive agent (Judith Light), his day job serving in a local diner, his impressively awful apartment, and his inability to pay rent on said apartment. As Larson tries to complete what he thinks will be his masterpiece, he must balance myriad relationships and only-in-New York challenges. But for everyone else – whether you absent-mindedly hum a show tune now and then or are willing to camp out on the cold, urine-soaked streets of Manhattan for a ticket to Sound-heim: Into the Woods and Words of Stephen! (not a thing … not yet, at least) – then Tick, Tick … Boom! is going to knock you flat on your Broadway-loving butt.īased on the autobiographical early-nineties “rock monologue” of the same name, the film follows the aspiring New York theatre composer Jonathan Larson (Andrew Garfield) as he tries to stage a workshop of his epic sci-fi satire Superbia. 19Ī musical adaptation of a musical about another musical that is directed by the reigning king of musicals, Tick, Tick … Boom! is not going to play especially well for any moviegoer who eyes the exits any time someone breaks into song. Now playing in select theatres, including TIFF Lightbox in Toronto streaming on Netflix starting Nov. Starring Andrew Garfield, Alexandra Shipp and Robin de JesusĬlassification PG 525,600 minutes … just kidding, it’s only 115 minutes
