And yes, that’s Andre De Shields from Hadestown. Almost everyone in the diner for that song is a Broadway icon

2025-07-01 00:56:28 +0000 UTCAll the music was written by Jon Larson, except the song on the radio during the party. There are some additional songs during the credits, as well as footage of Larson's original one man performance of Tick, Tick, Boom. The film is sort of a mix of an adaptation of the Tick, Tick Boom rock monologue and a mini biopic of Larson, much expanded on the story Larson was telling in the monologue. There was a Lin Manuel Miranda cameo in the diner kitchen as the Sunday song starts. The woman in the black hat is Chita Rivera, who originated Anita in West Side Story and Velma in Chicago. The woman that Garfield leads out of the diner and semi bows to is Bernadette Peters, who was in Sunday In The Park With George that they were watching earlier in the film. There were also three of the original cast members of Rent as the bums, and you're right that basically everyone in the diner piece was a Broadway cameo.

2025-01-08 05:23:52 +0000 UTCI thought this one would resonate with you! LMM saw a production of it TTB in college and was really inspired by it, then we he found out it was being made into a film immediately put himself forwards for it. Glad it was someone who had the personal experience of going through this creative process to make it. One day I hope someone (maybe even LMM) might try and get Superbia produced but there were so many versions as Larson kept changing it throughout his life. Perhaps if he lived, with the success of Rent and the changing theatre sound, Superbia might have made it to Broadway, but at the time theatres weren't really equipped for that more modern electronic/rock/pop sound like they are in the post Rent landscape. Appreciate your unique insights! Also impressed you recognised Andre de Shields (Hermes) by voice alone right away in the diner scene!
