Before entering, superfan and Florida native Joanna Foster gathers a small group of Tick, Tick… Boom! fanatics (with whom she connected on Twitter) on the sidewalk to help her on a twofold mission: scouting out the exact section where the movie’s opening number, “ 30/90,” was filmed and sourcing a bound manuscript like the one Susan ( Alexandra Shipp) gifts Jonathan at the end of the film. The bookstore is a magnet for locals and tourists alike, but today it’s also a place to pay respects to Larson.
Our first stop is a 95-year-old landmark and bibliophile’s dream located in Manhattan’s East Village.
Intrigued by his life and tunes, Tudum recruited a group of Tick, Tick… Boom! die-hard fans to embark on a tour of lower Manhattan in order to see the city through the eyes of an icon. Throughout the film, Larson’s New York stomping grounds serve as a significant source of inspiration to his music.

In his directorial debut, Lin-Manuel Miranda adapted Tick, Tick… Boom! as a musical for the screen in late 2021.īased on Larson’s life story, the movie unfolds in New York City during the early 1990s, as Larson (played by Andrew Garfield) grapples with turning 30, frantically pursuing his desire to become “the future of musical theater” and working at a diner to pay rent. Known for his ’90s Broadway smash Rent, Larson began working on the semi-autobiographical Tick, Tick… Boom! in the late ’80s. The city’s dated swimming pools and cobbled alleyways might be unpolished, but it was those unassuming spots that provided inspiration for the then-aspiring playwright. Hidden among Manhattan’s luxury high-rise buildings and trendy theaters are some of Broadway icon Jonathan Larson's most beloved haunts.
