Watch the trailer for tick, tick, BOOM! with Andrew Garfield

In the full Netflix trailer tick, tick … BOOM!, featuring Andrew Garfield, we see young playwright Jonathan Larson aspire to fame with his next musical creation. In addition to the trailer, the first song from the soundtrack, “30/90”, premieres today, performed by Garfield.

tick, tick … BOOM! follows Jon (Garfield), a young theater composer who waits for tables in a New York restaurant in 1990 while writing what he hopes will be America’s next great musical (hint, that’s To rent! and it actually became a success). After eight years of composing, writing and rewriting, Larson is starting to feel pressure from everywhere. His girlfriend Susan dreams of an artistic life beyond New York, and his friend Michael has gone from her creative dream to a life of financial security. All the while, the community around him continues to be ravaged by the AIDS epidemic.

As time continues to turn towards his breakthrough performance, Jon stands at a crossroads and faces the question everyone has to reckon with: what are we supposed to do with the time we have?

Larson never lived to see the success of his “Next Great American Musical”, dying on the morning of To rentfirst look at Off Broadway in 1996 at the age of 35. The cause of death was an aortic aneurysm believed to be caused by undiagnosed Marfan syndrome.

Larson himself first wrote and performed tick, tick … BOOM! (then titled Bohemian days) in 1990 solo. After his death, playwright David Auburn helped sculpt tick, tick … BOOM! into a three-structure musical. Today’s release, “30/90”, is the first single from the music soundtrack written by Jonathan Larson.

In addition to Garfield, tick, tick … BOOM! stars Alexandra Shipp (X-Men: Apocalypse), Robin de Jesús, Joshua Henry, Poseis Mj Rodriguez, Bradley Whitford, Emmy Award Winner as composer Stephen Sondheim, Tariq Trotter aka Black Thought of The Roots, as well as Emmy and Tony Award winner Judith Light, and Vanessa Hudgens.

Actor, composer and playwright Lin-Manuel Miranda makes his directorial debut with tick, tick … BOOM! The film is written by Tony Award winner Steven Levenson and produced by Brian Grazer and Ron Howard, Julie Oh and Lin-Manuel Miranda.

Tick, tick … BOOM! debuts in theaters on November 12, then arrives on Netflix on November 19.
