Tick, tick...BOOM!

"Tick, tick...BOOM!" is not a movie, television show, or song, but rather a musical. It was created by the renowned composer and playwright Jonathan Larson, best known for his groundbreaking musical "Rent." The subject of the musical centers around Larson's experiences as a struggling artist in New York City in the 1990s.

"Tick, tick...BOOM!" was initially developed as a solo autobiographical piece written by Larson himself. It was performed as a solo rock monologue under the title "Boho Days" until it was later expanded into a three-character musical. The show explores Larson's anxieties and hopes as he faces the looming deadline of turning 30 years old and questions the pursuit of his artistic dreams.

The musical features a small cast, consisting of three main characters. The lead role of Jon is typically portrayed by a male actor, while the other two characters, Michael and Susan, can be played by performers of any gender. The characters reflect different aspects of Larson's life, with Michael representing his best friend and confidant, and Susan embodying both his girlfriend and an aspiration to have a successful writing career.

While "Tick, tick...BOOM!" was created by Jonathan Larson in the early 1990s, it wasn't fully produced as a musical until after his untimely death in 1996. The show premiered off-Broadway in 2001, receiving critical acclaim for its poignant storytelling and catchy rock music. Its success led to several subsequent productions and a cast recording that preserves Larson's brilliant work.

The rich and vibrant score of "Tick, tick...BOOM!" reflects Larson's influences in 1990s rock and pop music. With his signature blend of heart-wrenching ballads and powerful anthems, the musical explores themes of ambition, love, and the pressures of success. Larson's musical prowess shines through songs like "30/90," "Green Green Dress," and "Louder than Words," which showcase his ability to capture the emotional depth of his characters.

Fortunately, fans of "Tick, tick...BOOM!" can now easily access and enjoy the music and performances from this remarkable musical. You can play and download these iconic soundtracks from various online platforms, making it easier than ever to immerse yourself in Larson's captivating storytelling and melody.

"Tick, tick...BOOM!" serves as both a homage to Larson's own struggles as a young artist and a powerful reflection on the universal themes of chasing dreams and grappling with life's uncertainties. It stands as a testament to Larson's immense talent and legacy, offering audiences a glimpse into the mind of an artist whose impact continues to resonate.

Whether you're already a fan of Jonathan Larson's work or have yet to discover the brilliance of "Tick, tick...BOOM!," this musical serves as a reminder of the power of art to inspire and touch our lives. So why not take a moment to listen to the sounds and stories of "Tick, tick...BOOM!" and experience the magic firsthand?

A BMW. A luxury apartment... on Central Park West.
A great song should sound great without any instruments.
A window looking out on a field.
A world where human emotion has been outlawed.
Actually, it's a lot more complicated than that.
Actually, it's not just showtunes. It's a very eclectic mix.
Actually, yes. And at least I'm not perpetuating a system that's...
Actually? Because I know you.
After everything we've done for him...
After that, he went back to a project he'd started and put away, called Rent.
After the workshop!
After the workshop.
Ah, ah, ah!
All of a sudden, she doesn't know anymore.
All right, see you.
All the things that you take for granted.
An exercise.
An impressive collection of compact discs,
An old, white lady with a tiny dog.
An open road at sunset.
And after you finish that one, you start on the next.
And also for my very, very, very dear friends,
And before I understand what's happening, I start running.
And by intermission, some producer
And call me the wrong name...
And change the world.
And finally, in a small number of users,
And finish the song already. Please.
And hoping against hope that eventually, something sticks.
And I have three days left until the workshop.
And I just really hope you all like it.
And I miss Michael.
And I will see if I can dig up some money for another musician.
And I've been working on it for... a little while now.
And in eight days, my youth will be over forever.
And in just over a week...
And it's been successfully tested on a number of mammals.
And nobody's doing enough.
And not have to work 30 hours a week doing word processing
And now you guys are part of the family.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, we present you with...
And on and on, and that's what it is to be a writer, honey.
And piano is the absolute bare minimum for this.
And she says, "I want you to come with me."
And she was ready. This was her year. She knew it.
And show them how brilliant you are.
And so do you.
And sort of hateful towards you right now.
And spend my life caring about driving the right car
And Stephen Sondheim was 27 when he had his first show on Broadway.
And thank you all for taking part in this very exciting new musical
And the music is the same thing. Is it rock? Is it Broadway? Is it both?
And the next hour and a half are a blur.
And then a week later, he got a job at a fancy advertising company,
And then back to the airport three hours later.
And then she fractured her ankle during a dress rehearsal.
And then there's the matter of us.
And then we can get the audience in and out in half an hour.
And then we moved to New York.
And then...
And there is only one thing I can think of to do:
And they're looking for a few more people. How about I sign you up?
And we'd meet on the beach every night and, um...
And wearing the right suits and living in a doorman building.
And what about Susan's time?
And what exactly do I have to show for myself?
And you become a waiter with a hobby.
And you're gonna be next.
Anyway, I think I might know a thing or two about running out of time.
Are you done?
Are you letting yourself be led by fear or by love?
As soon as we walked through the door.
As the flame gets closer, and closer, and closer,
At 60 empty folding chairs.
Balance.
Before the Pulitzer Prize.
Before you just cut off my power?
Before...
Between SoHo and Greenwich Village.
Boo Boo, you need to ask yourself, in this moment,
Bookshelves sagging under the weight of plays and novels I didn't write.
But for the cruise, I'm gonna have to sort of...
But I just wanted to say it was really good.
But it's 9:30 on a Sunday morning at the Moondance Diner.
But Susan is a real artist.
But the music, okay, I'm sorry... The music just wasn't there.
But when I open my eyes...
But you know these producers, they care about one thing and one thing only.
By a very exciting young writer, Jonathan Larson.
By the time my parents were 30, they already had two kids,
Can we just talk about how amazing you were tonight?
Can we talk musicians? Because if it's only gonna be four,
Can we, uh, talk about it tomorrow?
Can you... Can you ask for an extension?
Cassettes, and records of other people's music.
Charlie, get me Hal Prince on the line.
Chubstitute.
Come here. Thank you.
Come on.
Congratulations on a terrific presentation.
Congratulations.
Could you... um... Could you explain it, maybe?
Do we take reservations? No, we do not... We're a diner.
Do you have any of that wonderful ******* bread?
Do you know how many Jonathan Larsons there are?
Do you know how many mediocre actors there are in New York City?
Do you know what I would give for that? You... You turn your nose up at it.
Eight years, actually.
Either put some Baileys in this coffee
Empire, racism, genocide, Vietnam.
Every light is on in your apartment right now.
Everyone is telling me the same thing. "That Jonathan Larson!"
Everyone's unhappy in New York! That's what New York is!
Everything is after the workshop.
Everywhere I go, like a tick, tick, tick...
Except for the parts Jonathan made up.
Fifty's the best I can do.
First day of rehearsal.
First rate lyric and tune. Well done.
Five more years of writing things that no one will ever see
For Bernie Gersten.
For Elizabeth in the second act?
For La MaMa. So, it's Larson, L A R S O N.
For the Artistic Director of the Shubert Organization.
Four years later, she's already danced
Frankly, we should be pissed at him that he's left us understaffed.
Freddy, look, I'm leaving you my mixtapes.
Freddy's not even...
Friday night.
From a sudden aortic aneurysm.
Good night. Wonderful work. Really wonderful work.
Good turnout.
Goodbye, Jonathan.
Gosh, I wish I could be more like you,
Got any ideas?
Got it. Got it.
Grover Cleveland.
Guys, this is the biggest break I've ever had. This is that moment.
Had already written him a check for ten thousand dollars.
Half our friends are dying and the other half are scared to death they are next.
Happy anniversary, I love you so much.
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday.
Harrington for four. Harrington? Harrington?
Has she sent out the invites for the presentation yet?
Have a good show. Can't wait to see what you did.
Have you spoken to Rosa?
He couldn't stop shivering.
He never looked back.
He still had so many questions.
He turned 25 two weeks ago.
He was 35 years old.
He woke up Saturday morning with a fever, he could...
He's not even 30.
Healthcare, dental...
Hello?
Hello. Hi, welcome.
Hey, boy genius.
Hey, I need a job.
Hey, Michael? I'm sorry, can I call you back later?
Hey, Rosa, this is Jonathan Larson, your client.
Hey.
Hey. Hi. You could have called first.
Hey. Whatever happens next, I'm here. I promise.
Hi there, this is a message for Joe Papp.
Hi, Jon.
Hi, Rosa. Thank you so much for calling.
Hi, um... is Susan there?
Hi. Everyone's leaving.
Hi. I'm Jon.
His hair is ridiculous.
Hm.
Honey, I have heard nothing but raves all day long.
How about the people that run this country?
How are you gonna pay for this, Jonathan?
How are you? It's Jon.
How can you possibly be thinking about your show
How is it implied?
How is...? How does that make sense?
How many in your party?
How was Philly?
How will I ever survive?
I actually... I thought the songs were swell.
I always told you, it was a tough sell.
I am sick of waking up at 5:00
I brace myself.
I can see you!
I can't do it again, Mike.
I can't get married. I can't have kids.
I can't keep wasting my time, Mike.
I can't leave my career behind.
I can't move to the Berkshires.
I can't stomach five more years of waiting tables,
I can't this week.
I can't. No, the actors take breaks. I don't... I don't have any breaks.
I close my eyes.
I could actually be rewarded for my creativity,
I could get health care. A 401(k).
I could get used to this.
I could just watch you dancing forever.
I could really use your advice on some things.
I decided to take the job.
I didn't get a chance to speak with you after the reading,
I didn't know you were, um...
I don't dare take a breath.
I don't have time to talk to Michael.
I don't know how to get through to you anymore.
I don't know, six measures, if I'm lucky, before they cut me off
I don't know. I usually write a song in a day.
I don't see Karessa there.
I don't understand how you can take any of this seriously.
I don't understand, why can't he just tell her he loves her?
I don't want a job in advertising.
I don't want you to have a job in advertising.
I find that very hard to believe. It was incredible this morning.
I got it.
I gotta go.
I guess I just... I wanted you to tell me not to go.
I guess it changed.
I hated singing. I just did it for the pussy. [laughs]
I have a public presentation of my musical in 12 hours...
I have an original, dystopian rock musical...
I have been rehearsing all day. I have been up since four this morning.
I have been trying to write a song for a week and I am nowhere.
I have no electricity.
I have rejection letters from every major and minor producer,
I have to say, I disagree pretty strongly, Walter.
I have to take that.
I have two keyboards, a Macintosh computer.
I haven't written a single note or a single lyric
I heard, uh, in Jacob's Pillow, they're hiring new teachers for the dance school.
I hope that you have an amazing workshop.
I just called them. They have a meeting tomorrow morning.
I just don't know what I'm gonna do. So...
I just spent the last eight years killing myself
I just wish that you didn't have to think like that.
I know I don't have any right to ask this. It's just that...
I know that his time is limited. Oh! It would be such a treat!
I know you're screening your calls.
I know.
I know. I know. I know.
I like to see if I can write a song about anything.
I love it. I love it.
I made ten copies.
I make my way there through the land of the dead...
I mean it. He's gonna be fine. Think about it.
I mean, like, I can't... I can't leave New York.
I mean... he's getting out.
I might actually be able to get back into shape.
I might get lucky. People do.
I need to give them the decision about the job by tomorrow, so...
I need to leave. I need to walk out that door and go.
I need to see Freddy. I should call Susan. Why can't I write this song?
I need to talk to Michael.
I need you to talk to me.
I never get to go to artist parties, you know?
I particularly like the one the young man sings at the end of the first act.
I put my name on the line for you.
I said an omelet with no yolks.
I swear to God! I'm talking to you in the back.
I swear to God.
I think let's give it a minute and see what happens next week.
I think of high school, all the shows we did together.
I think of the summer that our parents decided to stay
I think this is a musical that knows exactly what it is.
I thought that you were in a hurry to get back inside.
I told Freddy. He's pissed off at your agent.
I wanna do what you do. I wanna have what you have.
I want it to stop. [crying] I want it all to stop!
I want the BMW, I want the doorman, I want it, I want all of it. Okay?
I want you to have a job in... jingle writing.
I wanted to remind her that tomorrow is my workshop and you know, I...
I was a mediocre actor.
I was thinking of maybe applying.
I wasn't sure whether you would want me here.
I went from the airport to a conference room
I will be 30 years old.
I will be getting paid for my music anyway. So...
I will never say anything bad about marketing research ever again,
I will take a look at the budget
I would just really love her to be there.
I would love to figure it out right now.
I wouldn't want you to miss it. That's all the information I can give you.
I wrote a rock score.
I... I don't know what the show is.
I'd have been sad not to see you every Sunday morning.
I'd love to get together and talk to you about it, if you have any interest.
I'll be auditioning for the role of Old Deuteronomy.
I'll be in.
I'll be there.
I'll call you later with some thoughts, if that's okay.
I'll tell her you called.
I'm a musical theater writer.
I'm allowing myself to be led by love.
I'm also extremely bitter and jealous and envious,
I'm beginning to lose sensation in my extremities.
I'm getting call after call after call.
I'm gonna call you right back.
I'm gonna start the next one.
I'm happy for you.
I'm HIV positive.
I'm Jon.
I'm Jonathan Larson.
I'm just... I'm right in the middle of something here.
I'm lost.
I'm missing consonants in "quintessential social adventure."
I'm not allowed to talk about my needs. What needs?
I'm not doing enough.
I'm not going anywhere.
I'm not waiting anymore. I can't keep waiting. This is my life.
I'm so cold.
I'm so happy you're here.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry. Can we... Can we please go inside?
I'm so... One second.
I'm sorry for enjoying my life while I still have time.
I'm sorry for moving into an apartment with central heating.
I'm sorry, can we... Can we talk about this tonight?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I...
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm starting to think that maybe I don't need it.
I'm sure she'll get some good people there for you.
I'm sure.
I'm turning 30 on Sunday, you know.
I'm writing, Susan. I'm writing.
I've been a little busy. You know. My workshop is next week.
I've been telling you how unhappy I am for months.
I've heard the dancing's amazing, but the music sucks.
I've left multiple messages with your secretary.
If that's what you want, what's stopping you?
If you want more musicians,
If you're not gonna spend it on the people you love?
In case you'd forgotten, missing its crucial Act Two musical number.
In the same town in Cape Cod, a mile away from each other.
In what?
Instead of rejected and ignored.
Into buying shit that they don't want.
Ira, you son of a gun.
Is about to be put on public display for every producer in New York.
Is it neither? Steve, what did you think?
Is it really him?
Is it social commentary? Is it science fiction?
Is it supposed to be aliens? I wasn't sure if it was all, like, aliens.
Is there a moment where you can take a break?
Is this real life?
Is worried the legislation was sending the wrong message.
Is you find out you have cancer.
It changed the definition of what a musical could be.
It doesn't matter to her if she's dancing in front of five people
It has tremendous commercial possibility.
It ran on Broadway for 12 years.
It starts in June.
It sucks. The drugs there are always the best.
It was.
It would be a tragedy to give up what you have.
It's "holly," dear. They call it "holly" bread.
It's 100 dollars for every musician.
It's a little, um, confusing in certain places. Not in a bad way.
It's an Arctic cruise, so pretty much everything.
It's at the bottom of a very large pile.
It's been a really good week.
It's fascinating.
It's figuring out how to trick people
It's for the next one.
It's freezing up here.
It's gonna be quite the event.
It's good to see you too.
It's good you're not putting too much pressure on it.
It's like, you get to a certain age and you stop being a writer who waits tables
It's not a math test.
It's only 75 bucks, but it could be a thing.
It's perfect. Keep going. Keep going.
It's the first time people are gonna see the show that aren't just us.
It's the turning point in the show.
It's Thursday at 11:00. I know money's tight for you right now.
It's too arty for Broadway.
It's too expensive for Off.
It's two birds, one stone. You are very welcome.
Jesus Christ!
Jill. Hey, it's Michael.
Jon?
Jon? Steve Sondheim here.
Jonathan Larson's famous Moondance Diner mixtape.
Jonathan never got to see it.
Juan, Pedro, Carlos... lo que sea.
Just questions.
Just so you know.
Just staring at the screens of their media transmitters,
Just the man I'm looking for. You nervous? Don't be nervous.
Just to get those creative juices flowing. You know what I mean? It'll be fun.
Karessa steps forward to sing my new song.
La... He told me last week his T cell count...
Ladies and gentlemen, please give it up for our band,
Last week, I wrote a song about sugar. It took me three hours.
Let me say that if IV drug users and homosexual men
Let's just do the song as a cappella.
Let's see if we can't get a bidding war started
Like a time bomb in some cheesy B movie or Saturday morning cartoon.
Like, that waist is just like... [lips popping]
Listen.
Little advice from someone who's been in this business a long, long time?
Live a year, longer even.
Look, look, look. I can pay you over the phone, right now.
Major vomit situation in the ladies' room.
Make a wish.
Make sure you're not speeding up.
Making high five figures. [exhales]
Meanwhile, be proud.
Men!
Michael tosses the keys to the parking attendant.
Michael.
Mm hm. [kisses]
Mm, what a nightmare.
Mm.
Mm.
Mm. Mm hm...
Mm. Okay.
Mm...
Monday morning.
Moondance. What do you want?
My 30th birthday.
My best friend is furious with me. My girlfriend isn't speaking to me.
My first day of rehearsals for the Superbia workshop, which is still,
My heartbeat is pounding in my throat.
No one.
No producer with a big check.
No, baby, it's expensive to make art here.
No, it's not your life, it's advertising.
No, no, no, listen.
No, not Parson. It's something that's never been done before.
No! So I can introduce you to my colleagues,
No. Mm mm, it's permanent.
No. What?
No... [strained laughter] I... I told you I needed a band.
Nobody has more contacts in the industry than Rosa.
Nope, not aliens. Um... But it is set in the future.
North Carolina Senator, Jesse Helms,
Not even 12 hours old.
Not just go from job to job. Actually have a home, an artistic family.
Not today!
Not tonight.
Nothing in your way, except horizon.
Now that we have all those fabulous ideas of yours in our heads,
Of course I don't want you to go.
Of the most important song in the show.
Oh, actually, you know what? Maybe we'll just skip the songs,
Oh, and I look out, and I see the bunnies and little squirrelies...
Oh, I don't know. It's, uh...
Oh, just the musical. The story.
Oh, Mike.
Oh, my God, thank you. I know.
Oh, my God.
Oh, no, you're not allowed to use the bathroom.
Oh, uh, that focus group I mentioned...
Oh, well, happy birthday.
Oh, wow. Thank you, Ira.
Oh!
Oh.
Oh. Cheers.
Oh. It's not even 9:00.
Oh. Thank you. Thank you.
Oh. Thanks.
Oh. There's a focus group at the office this week,
Oh. Wow.
Oh... my... God!
Okay, doll.
Okay, good. You look great.
Okay, kiddo?
Okay, listen. I'm happy for you.
Okay, so, what... what about the guy that you were dating? David?
Okay, um, so now that we're all here...
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay. [panting]
Okay. It's Tuesday.
Okay. So this is just for the summer?
Okay. Uh... So what about Off Broadway?
Okay. Yeah. All right. Let's do it. Let's move.
Okay. Yes! That's great news.
Older than Paul McCartney when he wrote his last song with John Lennon.
Older than Stephen Sondheim when he had his first Broadway show.
On a musical that's never gonna happen.
On behalf of Playwrights Horizons, I want to welcome everyone
On the next one, maybe try writing about what you know.
On this musical of yours. What do you say?
One of the last of my species.
One second. How many in your party?
One.
Only with a colonoscopy, the worst thing that could happen
Or in front of five thousand.
Or put some vodka in this orange juice, please.
Or, God forbid, something to actually say about the world!
Other than the ones already in progress.
Ow!
Pam, Gordon, Ally.
Past the pond, past the carousel.
Paul, Trisha, Merce.
People have vacation homes there. You've been there.
Praying that the director actually even agrees
Pretty soon you won't have me around to remind you to pay your bills on time.
Providing nearly $3 billion...
Ran into Scott in SoHo and he really... really wanted to come.
Real writers.
Remembered it? I got every producer in town coming.
Resulting in a brief hospitalization.
Roger and Karessa on vocals.
Rosa gave me this number, I hope it's okay to call you.
Rosa, Rosa, hold on.
Rosa? Um, I...
Saying the Kaddish over their children.
Scott and I, we used to sing madrigals in high school.
She doesn't care about seeing her name in the New York Times.
She doesn't wanna talk to you, Jon.
She moved to New York without knowing a soul.
She thought she'd become a doctor, maybe teach.
She went to college to study biology,
Shh!
Shit.
Sir, if you are going to raise your voice...
So far we're up to 12 RSVPs, Jon.
So how was the reading? Did anybody...?
So I hear you're moving out of Jon's place.
So I was wondering if we could maybe talk about it?
So it's skin scales.
So she invited the entire theater industry to Craig's musical workshop last year.
So Susan waits, and the time keeps ticking.
So the product we're looking at is a tasteless, odorless chemical compound
So what am I supposed to do now?
So why don't we start by you just throwing out some ideas
So you can lure me to the dark side?
So, any questions before we, uh, get going?
So, at the very least I'll need a synth and drums and a guitar and...
So, can I count you in? There'll be a seat reserved for him.
So, I'm sorry for getting a nice car, Jon.
So, just waiting on one more person.
So, okay...
So, you're gonna move to the Berkshires?
Someone has to wake him up, shake some sense into him.
Sorry, did she mention when we were gonna get paid?
Sorry, I just feel like I'm scared...
Sorry. So... so, you know, lately, I've been hearing this sound.
Spare the self righteousness, Jon.
Stand clear of the closing doors.
Start sharpening those pencils.
Stephen Sondheim.
Sunday.
Superbia at Playwrights Horizons. It's at 10:00 a.m.
Superbia, a satire set in the future on a poisoned planet Earth,
Sure, sure. Uh...
Sure.
Susan dropped off your music for tonight's dance...
Susan, hold on. Susan?
Susan? Susan, wait.
Swim.
T cell count is good. My doctor feels cautiously optimistic.
Take a seat when you can.
Take this.
Tension.
Thank you all for being here. This is my musical, Superbia,
Thank you for all this. Thank you.
Thank you for being here, um, this morning.
Thank you for being so supportive of my work.
Thank you for everything.
Thank you really. That's... Yeah, thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you... for being here.
That guy's hilarious.
That I've been instructed to tell you about.
That incredible imagination of yours, Mr. Larson.
That is beautiful, Mr. Larson.
That is just about to hit your shelves.
That is, like, so far from Midtown.
That seems like a really good place to start.
That sounds vaguely familiar.
That was a Ghostbusters reference.
That was freaking amazing!
That was funny.
That was the teensiest bit happy to hear you're not leaving.
That we'd grown up dragging our parents into the city to see...
That will be used as a fat substitute in cooking.
That's a very real question. Have you found a new roommate yet?
That's being presented to an audience in six days instead?
That's good.
That's the end of an era.
That's the prison barge.
That's true.
The beating heart of the nation.
The billing office is closed for the night.
The date is January 26th, 1990.
The dawn of a new day.
The details distract us from connecting with the characters.
The doctor said that it was exactly where they wanted it, four days ago.
The first presentation of your musical is like having a colonoscopy in Times Square.
The first, and so far, only actual theater person
The fuse has been lit. The clock counts down the seconds
The kinds of stories it could tell.
The main thing though, is that it's first rate work and has a future.
The musical to which I have devoted my youth
The night before Rent's first public performance, he died...
The oldest one was 27.
The presentation doesn't start till 10:00.
The presentation. You remembered the presentation?
The problem is, it's not particularly easy to follow the emotional thread.
The room is completely empty.
The setting, the barren, unfashionable no man's land
The show doesn't work, and then it's all been a waste of time.
The show is about to begin, and I am looking
The sky is darkening.
The Theater District.
The theater legends, who created the Broadway shows
The wind is shrieking through the trees.
The world that you've created is really original.
Theater company, record label, and film studio in existence.
Then I gotta figure out how I'm gonna split up the bass parts.
There are some side effects associated with the product
There were reports of toxic shock syndrome...
There would never be another case of AIDS in this country
There's not enough time, or maybe I'm just wasting my time.
There's, um... there's a support group, it's called Friends In Deed.
They had careers
They're still looking for one more person to sign up.
This could be the rest of my life.
This could be the rest of my life.
This Friday at 10:00 a.m. I'm so excited about Friday.
This has been sitting here for a week.
This is for you. Here you go.
This is my life.
This is my...
This is phenomenal. Look at the space, it's just phenomenal.
This is Rosa your agent, who hasn't returned your calls in a year?
This is where we're gonna need
This is why you're just a waiter.
This is, um... my name is Jonathan Larson.
This is... Can we get this section...
This will be the first musical written for the MTV generation.
Those five words were enough to keep me going for the next two years.
Three days left to write this song. And if the song doesn't work,
Tick, tick, tick.
To get in line outside the Equity Building and wait all day,
To offer to put on a workshop of Superbia.
To our friend, Jonathan Larson.
To pay the rent, why not?
To see a show about spaceships and robots.
To see anyone that's non union, and then,
Tourists aren't gonna shell out 50 dollars
Two hours of this.
Two more.
Uh, every single thing is wrong with that. It's in the Arctic.
Uh, ex...
Uh, they want an answer by Wednesday.
Uh, wait. How much does it pay?
Uh...
Uh...
Uh... Charlie, tell him I'll be on in a sec.
Um...
Um...
Um... full hair loss.
Um... That's not what it's about. Um...
Um... this is the first real workshop that this musical has ever had.
Until... all at once...
Wait, Carolyn, you're coming next Friday, right?
Wait, wait, no. Wait.
Wait, what workshop?
Watching the tiny elite of the rich and powerful,
We are going to turn to the task at hand.
We are here to develop a name of a revolutionary consumer product
We can't keep waiting. It's quarter past.
We dedicate this opening night and every performance
We haven't gotten a lot of RSVPs.
We hear him sobbing in the fridge most mornings. It's very sad.
We saw the new Mark Morris.
We smoked a bowl on Kennedy breakwater and Michael told me he was gay.
We talk constantly.
We were eight.
We'd just sit there talking till three in the morning about our plans.
We'd watch one of us present what we'd been working on to a panel of, well...
We're filling up fast. I want to make sure you got your spot.
We're gonna live in a log cabin. We're gonna hunt... acorns.
We're gonna... [spluttering] We're gonna gather squirrels.
We're saying the same thing, just differently.
Welcome. I'm gonna get another drink.
Well, can you... um... can you give her a message for me?
Well, guess what? You're not Stephen Sondheim. Wait a little longer...
Well, he loves making a fuss, especially about you.
Well, it's expensive to make art.
Well, no, I didn't just "quit" quit. I gave... I gave my notice.
Well, of course, I know that, Jonathan.
Well, that's good. Mm.
Well, you already left six messages.
Well, you know, when Superbia gets produced,
Well... But not incredible enough.
What am I gonna say? I don't know what to say.
What am I supposed to say? I didn't know what to say.
What apartment building has a parking attendant?
What are you doing with your life that's so noble?
What are you gonna do now?
What are you...? What is this? What do you want?
What do you mean, what I do next? What about Superbia?
What if the workshop happens and nothing changes?
What it could sound like.
What then, Jonathan? What about me?
What?
What?
What?
What?
What's happening Friday?
What's stopping me? How about Jesse Helms and the Moral Majority?
Whatever that moment was, when she knew...
When am I gonna go to the hospital? I need to write.
When am I gonna talk to Susan?
When am I gonna write? I need to talk to Susan.
When I finally do get in the room, I sing...
When you hear me say the word "America."
When your friend is in the hospital?
Where is your coat?
Where the vast majority of humanity spend their entire lives
While Broadway just churns out mega musicals
Who doesn't love showtunes with their French toast?
Who film their own fabulous lives like TV shows.
Who gives a shit about a song?
Who knows?
Whoa, the Berkshires?
Whoa.
Whoa... Hey, well...
Whoo!
Whoo!
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
Why didn't you tell me you were coming?
Why don't we begin with a quick brainstorming session? Right?
Why don't you try to see if you can write a song for your musical
Why is she doing this right now?
Why shouldn't I want those things, Jon? Not all of us have options you do.
Why would you do that?
Wild horses, Jon. You know that.
Wind in your hair.
With a musical, you find out you're already dead.
With every major choreographer in the city.
With steady paychecks, a mortgage.
Without a hint of even the slightest thing original
Work a couple of hours a week. Then the rest of the time is yours.
Would stop their activities today,
Would you like some challah bread?
Wow. [chuckles]
Wow. Okay. That goes on the board.
Ya, tranquilo. ¡Termina tu obra!
Yeah, he was the lead of every play in high school, college.
Yeah, I just want to see how the Downy account was going.
Yeah, it's, uh... it's gonna be amazing.
Yeah, mostly friends.
Yeah, okay... Yes. Yes. The individual songs.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah. I love it.
Yeah, yeah. That's the one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. And your annual operating budget is half a million dollars?
Yeah. Explain what?
Yeah. I know, I know, I know.
Yeah. I want to leave a message for Mr. Sondheim.
Yeah. Um...
Yes, sure. [laughs nervously]
Yes, yes. We're on the same page. That's exactly how I felt.
Yes. Yes. [laughing]
Yes. Yes. Of course, yes. Abso...
You are an angel on earth.
You are such a baby.
You can literally sit in any other seat.
You can... you can sleep in your old room.
You come up with jingles all the time for fun, Jon.
You come up with songs about cereal we're eating.
You could probably spend a little bit less on party planning.
You don't go straight to Broadway.
You don't have to do that. Thank you so much, that was very kind. Uh...
You don't need a band with an audience of 12 people.
You don't seem sure.
You don't understand. I have a workshop.
You got a cast of thousands, with the special effects...
You just keep throwing them against the wall
You just quit?
You keep shutting me out, you keep putting up these fences.
You know he can't afford all of this, right?
You know how stubborn he is. He's a pain in the ass.
You know that job in the Berkshires?
You know what, Jonathan? I'm done.
You know what? Never mind.
You know, for someone who's broke,
You know, Rosa's got another client. Craig Carnelia.
You know, there was a small... very, very small piece of me
You need a new roommate, right?
You really didn't have to get me anything.
You start writing the next one.
You sure there's no way to get into the bathroom?
You sure you're sure?
You think I don't know that?
You tried.
You wanna come take the subway?
You wanna hear? I got the exact right thing for this product.
You'll have a piano.
You'll outnumber them.
You're gonna have to find the money for it somewhere else.
You're gonna sell it for five times that amount.
You're gonna write a great American musical in the next ten minutes?
You're missing a song for the young woman. Uh...
You're not saving the rainforest.
You're right. I've been distracted, but I promise you, after the workshop...
You're still a waiter, you're still living in this apartment, you're still broke.
You're telling me in the five years you've been writing this musical...
You're the artist and I'm the girlfriend. That's how you feel, right?
You're thinking about how you can turn this into a song. Aren't you?
You're writing musicals in your living room,
Your protagonist is either gonna go in this direction or that direction.
Zero pressure. Ha ha. I really want you there.
