ABOUT JONATHAN LARSON:
Jonathan Larson was an American composer and playwright noted for exploring the social issues of multiculturalism, addiction, and homophobia in his work. Typical examples of his use of these themes are found in his musicals Rent and Tick, Tick... Boom! He received three posthumous Tony Awards and a posthumous Pulitzer Prize for Drama for the rock musical Rent. Completed in 1991, was an autobiographical "rock monologue" entitled 30/90, which was later renamed Boho Days and finally titled tick, tick... BOOM! This piece, written for only Larson with a piano and rock band, was intended to be a response to his feelings of rejection caused by the disappointment of Superbia. For his work on Rent, Larson was posthumously awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, the Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, and Best Original Score; the Drama Desk Awards for Outstanding Book of a Musical, Outstanding Music, and Outstanding Lyrics; the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Musical; the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Musical in the Off-Broadway category; and Obie Awards for Outstanding Book, Outstanding Lyrics, and Outstanding Music.
ABOUT tick, tick… BOOM!:
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?

Lyrics
Break of day, the dawn is here
Johnny's up and pacing
Compromise or persevere?
His mind is racing
Johnny has no guide
Johnny wants to hide
Can he make his mark, if he gives up his spark?
Johnny can't decide
Susan longs to live by the sea
She's through with competition
Susan wants a life with me
Johnny's got a tough decision
Johnny has no guide
Johnny wants to hide
Can he settle down
And still not drown? (And still not... drown?)
Johnny can't decide
Michael's gonna have it all
His luck will never end
Johnny's backed against the wall
Can he bend his dream, just like his friend?
Johnny sees that Susan's right (Susan's right)
Ambition eats right through you
Michael doesn't see why Johnny holds so tight (I hold so tight)
To the things that Johnny feels are true
Johnny has no guide (Johnny has no guide)
Johnny wants to hide (Johnny wants to hide)
How can you soar
When you're nailed to the floor?
Johnny can't decide
Johnny has no guide (Johnny has no guide)
Johnny wants to hide (Johnny wants to hide)
How do you know when it's time to let go?
Johnny can't decide (Johnny; Johnny can't decide)
Johnny can't decide (Decide; decide)
Johnny can't decide (Johnny; Johnny can't decide)
Johnny can't decide (Decide; decide)
Decide (Decide, decide; decide)
Decide, decide (Decide)
