WATCH: Tick, Tick... Boom! Officially Unveils Main Trailer and Key Art Ahead of Its Netflix Debut on November 19, 2021

On the cusp of his 30th birthday, a promising young theater composer navigates love, friendship, and the pressures of life as an artist in New York City. 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 (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?

"tick, tick…BOOM!" stars Academy Award nominee & Tony Award winner Andrew Garfield, Alexandra Shipp, Tony Award nominee Robin de Jesús, Tony Award nominee Joshua Henry, Emmy Award nominee Mj Rodriguez, Emmy Award winner Bradley Whitford, Tariq Trotter, Emmy and Tony Award winner Judith Light, and Vanessa Hudgens.  The film officially premieres on Netflix on November 19, 2021.
