The Tick, Tick … BOOM! Trailer Is Two and a Half Minutes of Impostor Syndrome

How about a fresh quarter-life crisis for your Monday morning? Netflix released the full trailer for its tick, tick … BOOM! adaptation on October 4, finding Andrew Garfield as composer Jonathan Larson, staring down the big 3-0 and wondering what he has to show for it. An autobiographical musical, tick, tick … BOOM! follows the famed Rent composer trying to write his opus, alongside his girlfriend Susan (Alexandra Shipp) and friend Michael (Robin de Jesús), who talk him out of his stressing — or at least try their best. “You need to ask, are you letting yourself be led by fear or love?†Michael asks in the trailer. “Fear!†Jonathan replies. “A hundred percent, fear!â€

Because actions speak louder than words, director Lin-Manuel Miranda (you thought he wouldn’t be involved?) also shared the cast’s performance of the opening song, “30/90,†along with today’s trailer. Here’s one thing not to stress about: Andrew Garfield can sing! Hear more when tick, tick … BOOM! hits theaters on November 12 and Netflix on November 19.
