LET'S WATCH: Tick, Tick... BOOM!
Added 2024-04-17 00:25:42 +0000 UTCWell, I think I just found my favorite musical y'all. Even with this being as hyped as it was from my friends and loved ones, I couldn't prepare myself for what I was about to watch. Heartbreaking, Moving, and Beautiful on so many levels... ugh. Should have called it Tick Tick... WEEP! Bravo to the entire cast and crew, and to the memory of Jonathan Larson. He would have loved Chappell Roan, I just know it. I've made this video available for purchase in the sop, so if anyone just wants to hold on to it without a month sub - that's available :)

The diner scene was STACKED with Broadway legends! The two girls asking for mimosas are Angela and Eliza from Hamilton, Bernadette Pieters when you said who’s this!? The the guy who kept repeating his name is André De Shields from Hadestown! And so many many more

Talia Adams
2024-12-14 10:19:18 +0000 UTCI’ve been too scared to watch this movie cause I knew it would make me cry. I hoped watching it with you would help soften the blow. It didn’t. I’m crying like a baby right alongside you.

Charlie
2024-08-16 18:49:48 +0000 UTCI LOVE THIS!! Lin Manuel Miranda is my favorite writer and seeing him honoring Jonathan is such an incredible thing. I've been a fan of musicals my whole life, I had my Rent obssessed phase and I get emotional every time I whatch tik tik boom. So so so glad you loved it just as much!!

2024-08-10 05:27:28 +0000 UTCI cried so hard the first time I watched this movie, so I didn’t expect me to cry watching you react to it. But of course I did. It’s an amazing movie.
Trine Opdahl Pedersen
2024-08-08 22:59:42 +0000 UTCnow it’s necessary that you react to RENT

Kylie Cheslick
2024-08-04 01:07:54 +0000 UTCI LOVE this movie so much! One creative choice i particularly loved was the way the ending was executed. The ending of “Louder Than Words” leading to Roger and Karessa looking toward Jon, lights fading to a spotlight on him as he plays Happy Birthday for himself. And as he comes to the end, we pause before the final resolve, cutting to Michael telling Jon to make a wish. Jon contemplates his wish, holds his breath, and we cut to black as we finally get an extremely grand resolve. I like to think that it’s reflective of Jon’s legacy and impact. Jon was waiting for it. He didn’t get to see the impact of his work, but his work truly revolutionized modern theatre. His legacy was so much larger than anyone could’ve expected. It just took some time for it to come.
Zachary Rosales
2024-08-03 09:46:13 +0000 UTCI feel like you would really enjoy “In The Heights” and/or “The Last 5 Years”! Started watching the whole Let’s Watch… series with the HSM releases and loving it lol

Ellie Skoda
2024-06-22 23:59:01 +0000 UTCAs a theatre kid, I have no idea why I avoided this film. Safe to say, the way it has me fucked up right now (especially because RENT is one of my favorite musicals) is probably why

RebeccaNoel
2024-05-16 00:16:50 +0000 UTCThe reason there’s a hard cut after the roof top scene before the ~sexy time~ is because there’s actually a cut song there called Green Green Dress they released later!!
RebeccaNoel
2024-05-16 00:16:16 +0000 UTCHere to add to the chorus of people asking for a RENT reaction (please), also based on this reaction I think you'd probably like La La Land?

erin m
2024-05-12 01:14:13 +0000 UTCfor Jonathan's apartment they actually recreated everything from videos Jonathan took of his place for insurance purposes and Jonathan's sister Julie was apart of the movie process in many ways she even said watching Andrew portray Jonathan was like getting to spend time with him again

Tia Hopkins
2024-05-01 08:08:01 +0000 UTCFun fact! Lin saw TTB in college while he was working on In The Heights and has said it encouraged him to keep pursuing MT. So beautiful the tribute he pays to him through this movie

2024-04-24 16:14:06 +0000 UTCLast one. You can also see clips of the Encores production of TTB that Lin was in with Leslie Odom Jr (Burr from Hamilton) as Michael and Karen Olivo (Vanessa from In The Heights) as Susan here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwJ7cu3r5-Y These are really stripped down productions that run for about a week. People are still on book, so you'll see them with music stands, but they also have minimal blocking and staging, props, etc.
Elissa Goetschius
2024-04-24 04:41:15 +0000 UTCI've never paid for anything from Patrion before, but this was too good to pass up. Thank you Troy for giving flowers to this movie, it deserved everything.
Anna
2024-04-24 04:31:09 +0000 UTCI think people have said this before, but I'm brand new to Patrion and haven't figured out the format yet. But the fact that Stephen Sondheim recorded the exact voicemail he sent the the IRL Johnathan, than passed away before this movie came is such a heartbreaking detail.
Anna
2024-04-24 04:29:54 +0000 UTCAlso also. As the article mentions, several of the composers in the scene where he's sharing his songs with Sondheim are actually composers who received the Jonathan Larson grant. <3

2024-04-23 15:47:08 +0000 UTCPlease please check out Sondheim's 'Company'! I love the free version on YouTube with Neil Patrick Harris playing the lead. Highly recommend, won 2 Tonys I believe. Really beautiful musical <3
Bridie Fry
2024-04-23 15:30:57 +0000 UTCit's bad, but when you didn't even know Jon died the night before Rent premiered i burst out laughing. the moment of realisation on your face!!!
Bridie Fry
2024-04-23 14:25:07 +0000 UTCAw bud knowing you didn’t know much about him before made me so sad for you to see the end 😭
Demi P.
2024-04-23 06:54:10 +0000 UTCThis is fabulous. So glad you gave me a reason to rewatch this. There's so many easter eggs for theatre people in this one. Here's an article that helps point them out. https://www.buzzfeed.com/noradominick/tick-tick-boom-easter-eggs Also, I'm pretty sure they recorded the narration performance (the framing device for the film) at New York Theatre Workshop which would mean they filmed in the same room where Rent premiered. It certainly looks like the theatre there. Yes to watching the recording of Rent on Broadway. It has Renee Elise Goldsberry in it. (Angelica) I'd also recommend going back to some classics like Sunday in the Park with George with Mandy Patinkin and Bernadette Peters. The diner scene is musically an homage to the title track. Fun fact with that one, Sondheim added the song "Finishing the Hat" (one of his most famous songs) during previews. The first night it was performed, Mandy did it with the lyrics on a piece of paper in his hand. Enjoy your theatre journey. And come to NYC and see some stuff! <3
Elissa Goetschius
2024-04-23 06:11:51 +0000 UTCThis recording from B'way also has Renee (Angelica) as Mimi.
Elissa Goetschius
2024-04-23 05:55:50 +0000 UTCEverybody is literally vocalists in that scene! The Diner scene is full of Broadway legends! I’m surprised you didn’t notice two of the Schuyler sisters from Hamilton too! I would look into it it’s insane how many legends they fit in there!
Demi P.
2024-04-23 05:43:48 +0000 UTCDefinitely watch the stage version of Rent (or the movie if you haven’t watched it) and In The Heights. I love your reactions. Particular with this movie, I am so happy to see you picked up on so much subtext! It’s my favorite thing to pick movies and tv shows apart for the subtle details in the unsaid text, so loved hearing it from you!
Daylet
2024-04-23 05:28:17 +0000 UTCYou getting emotional from the jump is the only way to watch this like you aren’t crying every few minutes you aren’t watching tick tick boom lol 😭
Demi P.
2024-04-23 04:52:47 +0000 UTCYou have to look into the work they put into this to make it accurate cause the details are insane!! Like the apartment alone is insane! The lean of his shelf and everything!
Demi P.
2024-04-23 04:43:13 +0000 UTCIn The Heights next!
Demi P.
2024-04-23 04:06:34 +0000 UTCYo I’m so excited for this!!!! One of my absolute favorite musicals! And such a touching real story

2024-04-23 04:06:04 +0000 UTCCame here to say this about the brunch diner scene!! Maybe Troy should check out more Sondheim musicals if he liked that number so much 👀🙏🏻

2024-04-22 04:19:02 +0000 UTC“First on screen musical” you mean to tell me you’ve never seen Sound of Music Marry Poppins, Hairspray, Mamma Mia, La La Land??? The Greatest Showman? Wizard of Oz? Singing in the Rain?? Plz confirm… as I find it, especially as a film major, to have never seen any of the above. Disney Channel - HSM?? Camp Rock?? TIA for answering Edit: ok now having watched the full video, so glad you liked it! Suggestion- you should look up a YT video that breaks down all the people who are in the Sunday scene… there’s some names in there, and a couple of faces you’d recognize if they were wearing 1700’s dresses (hint: another musical you’ve seen). My vote for the next one: High School Musical 1-3, they are classics

Katelyn Miller
2024-04-21 17:07:33 +0000 UTCNot me answering your questions like you could hear me 😂 this was the crossover I didn’t know I needed it was everything tbh. Also if you think that Sunday brunch song in the diner was sad wait until you find out that it’s a spoof of Sunday from Sunday in the Park with George (written by Sondheim, who was Jonathan’s hero) as a love letter to him & his work and when he did it in the OG tick tick boom it was just at the piano so for the movie Lin (Jonathan is one of his heroes) did this scene as a love letter to him and gave him a dream choir made up of broadway legends, people who’s work were influenced by Jonathan’s writing, and OG cast members from RENT. It’s so much and I weep every time lmao.

2024-04-21 14:08:27 +0000 UTCWhen I first watched this movie, it wrecked me. I was turning 29 the year it came out and I was very much having a crisis about it. I love musical theater (as Troy puts it "an equestrian"), so the musical theatre references were some of the first things I noticed. On my repeat watches, I noticed different things that hit me every time. Watching Troy watch for the first time, and having his musical knowledge lending to yet another layer of my love for this movie, I am wrecked all over again. I could write a dissertation on this movie and all of my favorite parts about it. Lin did an amazing job telling Jon's story. I am so thankful for him.

2024-04-20 23:18:12 +0000 UTCThis my official petition for you to watch high school musical now lol. You’re name is Troy after all
Angelica
2024-04-20 22:34:36 +0000 UTCI’d highly recommend the show Falsettos. It’s a little complex in terms of following the plot but the score is fantastic, I think you’d really enjoy it!!

2024-04-20 22:17:06 +0000 UTCIt’s great to be able to ugly cry with someone though!
Carol Miltersteiner
2024-04-20 11:10:32 +0000 UTCThanks for sharing that!!!! And the other crazy thing: Sondheim himself died less then two weeks after the release of this movie
Carol Miltersteiner
2024-04-20 11:09:13 +0000 UTCI loved the fact that he was clueless about that and also about the fact that the song itself is a reference to Sunday in the park with george (which is another nod to Sondheim)
Carol Miltersteiner
2024-04-20 11:07:14 +0000 UTCokay you also need to watch the deleted scene of green, green dress. it's my favourite song and i wish it was in the movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lb8E-cZGwvU
Kellie
2024-04-20 07:42:53 +0000 UTChave I already seen this? yes. did i burst into tears and sob throughout the entire end of that? yes.
flowi
2024-04-20 07:13:40 +0000 UTCGet into Stephen Sondheim to understand those comparisons in the film! He's the GOAT of musical theatre, frankly one of the smartest people to work in this industry. The song "Sunday" in tick tick Boom was directly taken and reworked from "Sunday" in Sunday in the Park With George, a fantastic Sondheim musical. Highly recommend checking that out, plus Into the Woods and Sweeney Todd to get a grasp on some of the best works of musical theater.

2024-04-20 03:09:08 +0000 UTCIdina Menzel, the orignial Elphaba, was one of the original main cast of Rent (Maureen). And Steven Sondheim is a legend in musical theater. «Sunday in the Park with George» the musical they where watching in this film, was his. He wrote the lyrics for West Side Story, he wrote Sweeny Todd, Into The Woods and Company. Not only is it his own voice leaving the voice recording in the movie, he died shortly after that. So that was his last «apperance». It’s like showing your student film and Spielberg says it has heart and potential. I can’t even imagine what that would have felt like. Also, like other people have mentioned, basically everyone in the Sunday scene is someone notable. The music is from Sunday in the Park with George (obviously with new lyrics) and Bernadette Peters (the woman he bows too, a broadway ledgend in her own rights) originated Dot, the female lead in Sunday in the Park. It’s such a rich inside scene filled with refrences.

2024-04-20 01:47:20 +0000 UTClove this movie and love how it brings this feeling of hope that things might work besides of how we wanted its what makes a great movie, not to be me but you should definitely watch theather camp troy i swearrrr its so good, fun and funny every musical kid has to watch it
Dara
2024-04-20 00:29:07 +0000 UTCPls pls pls watch The Last Five Years with Jeremy Jordan (😍🥵) and Anna Kendrick
Denyce Linn
2024-04-19 23:18:57 +0000 UTCI never knew how good it felt to be ugly crying with someone else watching a musical until I started watching your reactions. Thank you!!!!!!
Carol Miltersteiner
2024-04-19 20:43:26 +0000 UTCJust watched this for the first time with you and I'm also sobbing oh my god
Nat
2024-04-19 18:01:14 +0000 UTCJust want to let you know I'm watching this for the second time, I forgot how much I loved this movie but also your reaction is everything
Maria I Balda
2024-04-19 16:55:58 +0000 UTCTroy, i love this movie and your reactions so so much, however - in the diner sunday brunch number would you mind taking a closer look at the people in the scene? you'll find Lin Manuel in the kitchen, and the actors of Eliza and Angelica from hamilton in the ensemble singing. more than that you'll see so many familiar faces from broadway - legends and cast members from rent itself. it is a beautiful scene of Larson getting the recognition from his idols for his work even if he's not here to see it. if you're lost heres an article showing who's who. https://www.cbr.com/tick-tick-boom-every-broadway-cameo-in-sunday/
Lily
2024-04-19 14:15:11 +0000 UTCThe diner scene always makes me bawl because he's sitting there with absolute legends from the business, not realizing any of it
Jessica Brunner
2024-04-19 13:28:08 +0000 UTCI was just going to rewatch your Hamilton video to listen to something in the background. Seeing this just made my day
Skye Edwards
2024-04-19 13:05:01 +0000 UTCOh, I can imagine the HSM tracks slaps in Hindi! I watched in English, but came across the Norwegian versions from time to other, and that was weird :D And if Troy is in the right headspace to take in the glory that is High School Musical he absolutely should do it!
Sofie
2024-04-19 09:58:44 +0000 UTCI signed up on Patreon for the Hozier reacts and I’m staying for the musicals!!! Best investment of the month for me fr 😂
Carol Miltersteiner
2024-04-19 09:56:48 +0000 UTCThis is the best thing I’ve seen in forever. I am loving the musical watches. Troy, have you not seen the stage version of rent that’s available on streaming?
Rayne Erwin
2024-04-19 08:39:25 +0000 UTCThis is legit my like top five musical Im so so happy you watched it!!!
Emery
2024-04-19 06:12:00 +0000 UTCThis is my absolute favorite musical and it makes me SO happy to see someone experience for the first time
Emily
2024-04-19 04:52:33 +0000 UTCI’m new as of today because of this reaction! I’m sure someone already said this, but I HAVE to touch on the Sondheim phone call. Bradley Whitford, by that point in the film hadn’t spoken in over an hour, and the original voicemail they recorded was pretty generic. Lin let Stephen have a private screening and Stephen reached out to him and said, basically, “can I rewrite the script for that call? I wouldn’t have said it like that, and if you can’t get Bradley, I’ll record it.” So, Lin (without hesitation 😂) said “You betcha!” And Stephen did exactly that! As far as Jonathan’s death, the producers and directors of RENT decided to not have the cast perform that night, but just do a table read (for lack of a better term. But as the reading went on, it was almost impossible for them to stay seated, so they slowly began to perform and the rest is history ❤️❤️
Jennifer Redmond
2024-04-19 03:35:01 +0000 UTCThis was TEWW good. you gotta do more of these! I vote for Sweeney Todd or Dreamgirls next
Kiara Amira
2024-04-19 01:53:55 +0000 UTCechoing others but you should watch Rent! so many of these songs are the precursors to what became that show, really adds to the narrative/experience. i think you’d appreciate the ~layers~ 🌝
Rachel Heine
2024-04-19 01:49:13 +0000 UTCNow you have to watch Rent!! See the masterpiece he made
Toni Timmerman
2024-04-18 23:54:00 +0000 UTCI recommend in the heights another lin classic
Kieran
2024-04-18 23:39:01 +0000 UTCLin also talks about how andrew did not know how to sing and fully did vocal lessons and learned to sing in only SIX MONTHS before doing tick tick boom
Zia
2024-04-18 23:28:53 +0000 UTCThere's a youtube video about the behind the scenes that includes Jonathan Larson's family talking about the project, it's called Honoring a broadway legacy: behind the scenes of tick, tick... BOOM!
Zia
2024-04-18 23:28:13 +0000 UTCWe need to fix that ASAP
Lauren O’Reilly
2024-04-18 21:59:50 +0000 UTCThank you Troy, this made my day

2024-04-18 21:05:13 +0000 UTCI was losing my mind like theyre right there!!!! when he turned away at lin’s scene I tear rolled down my face silently

2024-04-18 21:03:03 +0000 UTCmy patreon expired an hour before I was gonna watch this and I almost killed myself
szasglock
2024-04-18 21:02:18 +0000 UTCtroy not recognizing all the actors from hamilton and other big theatre people throughout the whole movie was making me scream at my screen
aeryn
2024-04-18 20:15:51 +0000 UTCI was screaming at the screen that whole scene!!!!
Kathi ayala
2024-04-18 17:30:34 +0000 UTCYou should watch Grease Live that Vanessa hudgens was in as Rizzo!! So good and v emotional since her dad died the night before
Ashlyn
2024-04-18 13:38:34 +0000 UTCLegendary and nostalgic. And I'm from India so we had translated version of the songs here in Hindi. So when I grew up and had internet access I encountered english versions for the first time and it was 🤯
shradha
2024-04-18 13:11:40 +0000 UTCCan't believe you have missed out on the basketball dance, Sharpay, and Troy frolicking on a golf course, but also don't know how it would be like to watch for the first time in your late 20's either :D It is no Tick, Tick, Boom for sure , but it do have some bangers, if one leans into the silliness of it.
Sofie
2024-04-18 12:44:08 +0000 UTCYupppp
hammy
2024-04-18 12:06:17 +0000 UTCSo looking forward to watching this with Troy, but in saying that he has never seen anything of Vanessa Hudgens, does that means that he have not seen High School Musical?!?!?!
Sofie
2024-04-18 10:15:31 +0000 UTCyou NEED to watch la la land
MysteriousMsF
2024-04-18 07:33:04 +0000 UTCThe need for Troy to watch Inside is visceral
Slern
2024-04-18 07:06:13 +0000 UTCit took me a few watches to figure out most of them, but i had to google to find André De Shields (Hadestown), Howard McGillin (Phantom of the Opera), Chuck Cooper (The Life), and Beth Malone (Fun Home) because I hadn’t seen any of those shows. I have seen Phantom, but I’m old so my Phantom is Michael Crawford 😉
bethannie
2024-04-18 06:55:02 +0000 UTCReally Wanted Him To React To Seeing Lin Manuel or Angelica & Eliza...
Hannah Miranda
2024-04-18 05:57:43 +0000 UTCTROY this made my day. This is literally my favorite movie maybe of all time. I just moved into a new apartment on my own. Its my first time living alone and its been pretty lonely. This felt like watching my favorite movie with a good buddy and was so nice <3 I am LOVING the musical reactions!!!!!
Kaela Shafer
2024-04-18 05:44:44 +0000 UTCLITERALLY WAS THINKING THE SAME THING!! he needs to watch the 2008 recording on youtube.
AF
2024-04-18 05:31:44 +0000 UTCEveryone in the diner scene is a broadway legend
Robyn Epstein
2024-04-18 04:57:57 +0000 UTCTroy please watch Rent ! The whole broadway musical is on youtube for free and there are so many refrences to Rent in Tick Tick Boom it truly is so great.... also you will absolutely weep
L
2024-04-18 04:53:02 +0000 UTCfalsettos would be soooooo nice to see
chase
2024-04-18 04:00:45 +0000 UTCI feel like it’s not your usual thing but I think you’d love Bo Burnham’s Inside if you’ve already seen it I’d still love to see you react to it!
Kaitlin Thompson
2024-04-18 02:57:13 +0000 UTCThank you for this reaction Troy! Since we’re on a musical kick I have a few recs: Falsettos!!!!! Legally blonde pro shot Into the woods pro shot West side story (2021) In the heights Sweeney Todd
Rileigh
2024-04-18 02:16:02 +0000 UTCYes yes yes yes

2024-04-18 02:13:56 +0000 UTCyou would LOVE in the heights!!! 🫡💕
Emily Dickey
2024-04-18 01:59:46 +0000 UTCThe Lin JUMPSCARE at the end😭 after bawling my eyes out to see Lin just 👁️🫦👁️. Also the people singing Sunday were (old and new) broadway legends which makes it more impactful 🩷
Buckethatonacat
2024-04-18 01:58:36 +0000 UTCHim not recognizing a single person in the the Sunday sequence actually kind of hurt me
Emily Dickey
2024-04-18 01:58:34 +0000 UTCYou need to watch the cut version of ‘green green dress’ i still don’t quite understand why it never made it into the film, but it adds so much chemistry to Andrew and Alexandra’s characters and it’s so so good, it was my most played song on Spotify year before last
Georgi Dodd
2024-04-18 01:41:40 +0000 UTCJust want to add some background lore but Lin had actually got the REAL stephen sondheim to record that voicemail on Jonathan’s phone. flash forward stephen sondheim actually passed away right before the movie came out. It’s this heartbreaking ode to his work (he made many many broadway shows). glad you loved it troy!!!! knew you would
Rachel Crawford
2024-04-18 01:41:15 +0000 UTCand a lil washington cameo in the audience :)
JustKay
2024-04-18 01:00:02 +0000 UTCTroy you need to react to falsettos
Kaysie
2024-04-18 00:17:57 +0000 UTCEven if not to react to, you should absolutely watch Sunday in the Park with George by Sondheim - referenced heavily in this show (the music for the Sunday brunch scene is an interpolation of a song from it) and the themes are so similar to Tick Tick Boom!
Emma P
2024-04-18 00:16:36 +0000 UTCMy first time watching I noticed Bernadette Peters performing the Sunday song. After my millionth time watching this I realized the OG cast of Hamilton Phillipa and Renee! …but I’m so disappointed in myself. And I’m guessing the others are Broadway legends!
Katie Sigler
2024-04-17 23:41:08 +0000 UTCi haven`t watched to the end yet but if you didn't you have to look up the green green dress deleted scene its one of the best songs from the film.
hayley v
2024-04-17 22:53:14 +0000 UTCwhile i understand why, troy not getting all the broadway legend appearances hurt me a little cause it makes this all even more special
Kay
2024-04-17 22:40:24 +0000 UTCDw Troy, I cried just as much as you did😔🤚🏼
Ida Rafn
2024-04-17 22:40:03 +0000 UTCcan you please watch In the Heights!
Natalie Gonzalez
2024-04-17 22:38:45 +0000 UTCPLEASE WATCH RENT LIVE, I AM BEGGING. It is my favorite musical, plus now that you have Jon Larson knowledge, you can have a deeper appreciation for it, but DON'T watch the movie. It has to be the one filmed onstage (2008). It was meant to be a rock opera (like Hamilton), PLUS it has Renee Elise Goldsberry (Angelica Schuyler) as Mimi
Emily Lewis
2024-04-17 22:32:46 +0000 UTCi hope troy will listen to some of the other songs from the album on spotify because there is another version of "green green dress" with andrew garfield and alexandra shipp singing it and i love it so much
Emma Fitzpatrick
2024-04-17 22:32:14 +0000 UTCwas hoping he'd notice lin in the kitchen + the schuyler sisters (philipa soo and renee elise goldsberry) but its okay!! anyways thanks for making me sob sir
Annelise
2024-04-17 21:57:19 +0000 UTCi feel like we have no choice but to watch Rent together now as well!

Rae
2024-04-17 21:30:20 +0000 UTCI was hoping Troy would recognize Lin in the background of the diner scene and the actresses who played Angelica and Eliza in Hamilton and was slightly sad that he didn't
Cris Cabrera
2024-04-17 20:57:40 +0000 UTCliterally!! i was like no go back plsss
Kennedy Elise
2024-04-17 20:52:40 +0000 UTCI just wanna say, I watched tick tick boom when it first came out on netflix, because I was a fan of Lin Manuel Miranda (still am) after watching hamilton. I thought the movie was good but somehow never really connected to it that much. But man, watching troy react to it and seeing it for the first time in a few years, it's so much better than I thought it was. It's a phenomenal movie, literally everything troy was talking about, the music, the themes, the cinematography, the emotions?? all so fantastic. I need to talk about this movie more often to people. it's SOO GOOD
Hannah Smith
2024-04-17 20:44:18 +0000 UTCloved this reaction! this would be the perfect segway into watching RENT... just saying

Hannah
2024-04-17 18:06:39 +0000 UTCI don't if anyone has said this already but if not: the real-life person Michael is based on/inspired by is still alive. Or at least, he was when the movie first came out. He lived longer than that year he hoped for and that heals my heart a little

Chenise Brown
2024-04-17 14:50:07 +0000 UTCI LOVE this movie! Also, Andrew Garfield sang “Why” (the piano song at the amphitheatre) live on set and that’s what they used in the scene :)
Daisy Homer
2024-04-17 13:42:34 +0000 UTCStephen Sondheim actually passed away a couple of weeks after the movie came out ❤️ made me sob so hard watching it a second time after his passing knowing that was his voice on the machine.

christine.ro
2024-04-17 09:15:02 +0000 UTCthere’s a fabulous video on the netflix: behind the streams youtube channel i think you’d find really interesting. it’s called “honoring a broadway legacy: behind the scenes of tick, tick… BOOM!” i don’t think anyone would be upset if you decided to react to it here 😉
bethannie
2024-04-17 09:05:03 +0000 UTCwhat a beautiful reaction, thank you for sharing it with us 💜 many of the things i thought of commenting have already been said by others (like the normalcy of musical songs being very step-by-step descriptive in order to help further the plot along) but i did want to mention something else. Jon was confident, yes, but he wasn’t arrogant. from what his close friends have all said he was actually pretty insecure, uncertain, and full of anxiety. i feel like you may have read it as him being full of himself. he did say the “i’m the future of american musical theater” line to his friend Eddie, but it was in the context of him wanting to incorporate new ideas (like rock music and social commentary) into the standard musical formula of the time. he wanted to honor life, and he did that beautifully. and he wasn’t wrong. he really did change what american theater could be. also, without him, there would be no Lin-Manuel Miranda. Lin said that it was seeing Rent on broadway that made him think he could write a musical himself one day. “In the Heights” was his Rent 💜
bethannie
2024-04-17 08:59:53 +0000 UTCI understand how Jon might feel infuriating, and I'm not defending how oblivious he was w the people he loved, but I relate to his feelings of anxiety so much, not being able to do anything, to move, to talk until this great big thing happens that you're not even sure it's gonna happen and when and how, but it takes so much space It's impossible to see anything else.
Alejandra Porras
2024-04-17 08:12:44 +0000 UTCso glad to watch you react to this!! it's a good one for real. i love hearing your in-depth thoughts on the way scenes are shot or how music is played and what it represents. it makes me happy that you found a musical that emotionally resonates with you - mine is waitress, and the thing you said about the song in the diner made me laugh. (it was written by sara bareilles btw). anyways i saw someone else recommend falsettos and i would love to see you react to that one too! it's in my top three. prepare for tears if you do watch that one though.

2024-04-17 07:47:29 +0000 UTCI’ve watched this movie so many times, and i bawl EVERY time. I usually don’t like or watch musicals, but this is my favorite. Also I think this movie and Rent, the plot or the characters gender or their background is meant to be somewhat similar to each other. Loved the reaction though
mari johnston
2024-04-17 07:45:55 +0000 UTCcried with you to this one like wow
ciara wells
2024-04-17 07:45:37 +0000 UTCAlso maybe Rocketman, just for the Elton John appreciation
Annie Salas
2024-04-17 07:32:26 +0000 UTCIf we’re about to go into a movie musical route you should watch Dreamgirls and all I gotta say is that Beyoncé was one of the people who starred in it. Also watch Falsettos, it’s an amazing musical that sort of reminds me of Tick Tick Boom at times and the pro shot is easy to access.
Annie Salas
2024-04-17 07:27:05 +0000 UTCNOT UR FAVE SPIDEY?? shocked
Daya K
2024-04-17 07:18:32 +0000 UTCI'm sobbing, just straight up sobbing. Literally my cat and dog have come to check that I'm okay 😂 But god it's so upsetting that Larson never got to see Rent. That musical changed lives, and changed musical theatre. And he should have gotten to see that. Brilliant film. Brilliant reaction. Bravo.
Lauren Clarke
2024-04-17 07:15:12 +0000 UTCI really recommend you watch Rent! This movie hits so much harder when you've seen it. It's my favorite unconventional Christmas movie.

Brianda Mariee
2024-04-17 06:55:31 +0000 UTCit's so hard to describe how important sondheim was. when he died one eulogy i read called him a modern shakespeare and it was barely an exaggeration. if you wanna check out something by him, steven spielberg's 2021 west side story is amazing.
Lauryn Goates
2024-04-17 06:55:18 +0000 UTCI had so much fun watching this! The ending when the green screen came back on took me out, I felt bad laughing but Troy sobbing with that in the background had me dying. When the sun glasses came on I absolutely lost it
Monica
2024-04-17 06:43:12 +0000 UTCand the fact that the voice recording from that last scene was by the actual Stephen Sondheim saying his actual thoughts to Jon, it broke me on so many level every time I watch this film. It was some of his last words too since during the film's release month Stephen Sondheim also passes away.
Faith Mo
2024-04-17 06:23:10 +0000 UTCso actually there *is* a number when Susan reveals the green dress, and it’s called green green dress! it was a scene tragically cut from the movie but you can still find it online!! it’s 🔥🔥

2024-04-17 06:16:02 +0000 UTCMy favorite thing about this video is Troy missing every single Hamilton cameo in the diner number including Lin's lol

2024-04-17 06:02:54 +0000 UTCI knew it was going to be so emotional when you didn’t know he had passed at the beginning 😭😭 my dude is BEREFT
Elle
2024-04-17 05:51:32 +0000 UTCYES not enough people have seen that musical or the movie
Charlie
2024-04-17 05:49:21 +0000 UTComg that’s so cool!!
Tori Jeri
2024-04-17 05:44:15 +0000 UTCFun fact: that phone message was recorded by Stephen Sondheim himself. (Sondheim in the movie is just an actor tho) It was the last work he did before he died in real life. He died during the making of this film.
Ginna Rocha
2024-04-17 05:33:13 +0000 UTCwhat just hits harder is knowing that Johnathan was probably so proud and excited for the debut of Rent and what it could become and yet he never got to see how it changed musical theatre 😭

2024-04-17 05:08:55 +0000 UTCan update after finishing the reaction: troyyyyyy 🫶🏼 I love love how much this musical resonated with you especially not knowing anything about Jonathan Larson before. ((I promise I’m not bullying you, but you really should look up some bts/background of the “Sunday” number, it’s just so very cool and an incredible homage to all of theatre and to Sondheim who ended up passing away two weeks after this movie was released 🤍))
Ally Holloway
2024-04-17 04:56:00 +0000 UTCTroy go back to the diner scene! Lots of Broadway cameos (specifically Lin, and the women that play Angelica and Eliza in Hamilton)! That little pose they did was a nod to that as well as their outfits with the pink and blue. But what’s also cool is that this song is a spoof on the song from the Sunday In The Park With Georgie musical they were watching!
Jenna
2024-04-17 04:43:37 +0000 UTCNot you calling Sondheim “sodomizer” 😭😭😭😭😭😭

2024-04-17 04:25:43 +0000 UTCtime for linnys musical!!! In The Heights

2024-04-17 04:23:28 +0000 UTCthis is one of my favorite reactions you've ever done! please do more musicals 💛 this was delightful
Jenny Kelson
2024-04-17 04:22:08 +0000 UTCthe proshot! it’s so much better than the film
Tori Jeri
2024-04-17 04:19:15 +0000 UTCIn the Heights is AMAZING!! definitely an underrated gem!
Tori Jeri
2024-04-17 04:17:50 +0000 UTCthis isn’t just my favorite musical it’s my favorite FILM of all time. RENT has been a favorite of mine and is the reason i fell in love with musicals and there are SO many references to it in this like “pookie” and the voicemail box. GOOD NEWS: the real “michael” is named matt and he’s still alive today!! Lin-Manuel truly was the only person i think could’ve made this movie. I think he understands Jonathan Larson & his works more than anyone and he had help from Jon’s sister/family. i’m sure everyone in the comments has already pointed out all the cameos in the Sunday number, so i’ll spare you but yes this is just the best film i’ve ever seen. I am biased but it truly is my favorite movie of all time. RENT hit me at a time where I couldn’t see a good future and hearing “No day but today” really changed my life. I even got it tattood! I want to get “cages or wings” as a tattoo but i need the money first lol.

2024-04-17 04:07:21 +0000 UTCidc tbh the production is good and the music works, which is more than i can say for every movie musical lol
kachow6969
2024-04-17 04:03:57 +0000 UTCThat musical on the tv looks weird because it’s Sunday in the Park with George which was inspired by the painting A Sunday Afternoon (not typing the rest lol). Highly recommend watching the broadway stars tribute to Sondheim after he died where they were all singing Sunday together 🥲
Megan Oetting
2024-04-17 04:02:15 +0000 UTCfun fact: the voice mail for steven sondheim at the end of the movie is the voice of the real sondheim!! making this movie his final production before his passing :(
thattylergirl
2024-04-17 04:01:53 +0000 UTCI'm begging for In The Heights movie next. I read that the performance Andrew gave in the park singing the Michael song was recorded like a week after his mother sadly died.
Derlis Aguilera
2024-04-17 04:01:19 +0000 UTCIt will forever make me violently SICK that Andrew Garfield did not win that Oscar.
Cameron
2024-04-17 03:58:44 +0000 UTCYes!!! And Michelle and Gay being Jonathan’s real life neighbors 😭
Angela McAleese
2024-04-17 03:58:21 +0000 UTCPls no to the Disney version of into the woods. It strips all nuance from the actual show. If he watches it he should watch the proshot from Broadway.
Liv Heskett
2024-04-17 03:51:12 +0000 UTCi think the next musical you should do is come from away. it is sooo good with such a touching story and an amazing soundtrack
Gabby Mancuso
2024-04-17 03:47:23 +0000 UTCThis is my favorite genre of Troy videos. Discovering theater 🥰
Jenna
2024-04-17 03:42:41 +0000 UTCThis was my second time watching this movie, and I sobbed just as much as the first time. I needed a good cry though so thank you for the content :)
Brianna Washington
2024-04-17 03:42:03 +0000 UTCSondheim is a musical theater God. Wrote into the woods, Sweeney Todd, Sunday in the park with George, company, many more. Also he did the lyrics to west side story. I recommend watching Sunday in the park since it’s basically a weird parallel of Jonathan’s life. Stars Mandy Patinkin, who was in Inego Montoya in princess bride
Liv Heskett
2024-04-17 03:40:03 +0000 UTCYESSSS
Brigid
2024-04-17 03:38:38 +0000 UTCSo many cameos and Easter eggs hidden in here. Some of my favorites: Sondheim actually recorded the voicemail for this movie based on what he recalled saying for real. This was right before he died. Jonathan’s real life sister makes a cameo in the audience in the last scene finally getting to see her brother’s work be appreciated and loved. Ugh this movie is everything. I’m so happy you loved it.
Rebecca Gumpel
2024-04-17 03:31:25 +0000 UTCI’m so so happy about this and also been patiently waiting for Troy to recognize that those are the literal schuyler sisters sitting at the booth in Sunday and LIN IN THE BACK AND LITERALLY THAT THE WHOLE DINER IS BROADWAY LEGENDS AND THE SONG IS A VERSION OF SUNDAY FROM SITPWG AND LIKE BERNADETTE HELLO I’m not mad, just forgetting that not everyone in the world is a thespian (ahem, sorry, an equestrian**) much much love troy
Ally Holloway
2024-04-17 03:31:12 +0000 UTCTroy you NEED to watch rent now!!

holly 🥀
2024-04-17 03:21:07 +0000 UTCplease please PLEASE watch rent!! there's the 2005 movie or the 2008 pro shot from broadway shot just like hamilton, which you can find on youtube for FREE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhG3JTchKDA i suggest the broadway proshot just bc i think rent was meant to be watched live but the movie is great too honestly other movie musicals i think you would LOVE: into the woods 2014 and the last five years 2014
kachow6969
2024-04-17 03:21:06 +0000 UTCOh god yess! I was screaming at my screen.. I love Troy but i got so annoyed he didn't catch any Hamilton cameos in Sunday Brunch! 😅😒

2024-04-17 03:18:57 +0000 UTCI feel like a great stepping stone from this for you is in the heights
Kylee Compton
2024-04-17 03:18:18 +0000 UTCNot you looking down for the few moments that Lin himself was on the screen
Tali
2024-04-17 03:17:26 +0000 UTCYOU NEED TO WATCH THE DELETED SCENE!! Green Green Dress when they were on the balcony!!
Chloe
2024-04-17 03:15:47 +0000 UTC“he wants to blow up immediately” no he doesn’t. he worked on a musical for 8 years and then was told “can’t wait to see what you do next”. that’s pretty fucking heartbreaking. i think you misunderstood a lot of jonathan’s character/motivations. also, that song from john’s musical suberbia is very good in my opinion. in musicals, the songs often will spell out exactly what is happening/ the setting of the story because you are using your imagination and the music to explain the plot and setting. it’s not like a movie where you can use cgi. maybe in regular songwriter you shouldn’t spell the story out but in musicals you absolutely have to. take “one short day” from wicked or “alexander hamilton” from hamilton as examples. the point of suberbia being included in the movie wasn’t that “this show sucks and he’s a self absorbed asshole for spending 8 years on it” it’s “this unbelievably talented guy just spent 8 years writing this musical but it’s not gonna get picked up by anyone because it not mainstream enough/ it’s too weird”. it’s not about robots or aliens, it’s a criticism of how the future generations will use technology and it’s pretty ahead of it’s time in my opinion. <- so sorry for this paragraph lol
Abigail Collins
2024-04-17 03:12:57 +0000 UTCSo you have to watch the stage version of rent now it has to happen (the film version sucks lol)
Abby Archambault
2024-04-17 03:10:01 +0000 UTCI copied a link that has them all. There are too many to write in a comment 😂
Liv Heskett
2024-04-17 03:09:57 +0000 UTCI can’t believe he never clocked Angelica and Eliza in the Sunday seen lol.
Falisha Lea
2024-04-17 03:09:22 +0000 UTCLoved the reaction, I cried right with you. Pleaseeeee watch In The Heights, it is a Lin musical and came out in theaters but went under the radar because of the post Covid movie theater attendance lack
stephanie alvarez
2024-04-17 03:08:27 +0000 UTCWell now you might as well watch Rent 🤪

Carrie Willoughby
2024-04-17 02:59:40 +0000 UTCI was waiting for Troy to people the Hamilton cameos at the diner… I missed them my first watch through
Shontae Jackson Dunston
2024-04-17 02:57:33 +0000 UTCthere’s a deleted scene for the song “green green dress” that was supposed to take place on the rooftop with susan and jonathan, imo it’s one of the best songs from the musical! https://youtu.be/lb8E-cZGwvU?si=YjpYvRYiWZNbb9tq
a
2024-04-17 02:57:11 +0000 UTCThere are soooooo many references and cameos in this movie you didn’t catch because you haven’t seen enough theater. Here is a link to a video pointing them all out :) https://youtu.be/MBxF24s4WrA?si=pew-osnIqkU3G0De
Liv Heskett
2024-04-17 02:51:20 +0000 UTCThe way Troy missed the Hamilton cast and Lin cameos but noticed that Jonathan was wearing the pink hat from the music video on stage lol

Erika 🤍
2024-04-17 02:06:31 +0000 UTCNot Troy missing Eliza and Angelica in the diner scene 😭 and Lin working in the kitchen 😭😭 you have to google the full list of cameos in that scene my dude between all of them they have like 20 Tonys
Meg
2024-04-17 02:05:19 +0000 UTCSunday is so important to the Broadway community! In the scene all the costumers are Broadway greats’ and the “bums” are from the original cast of “Rent”!! Goosebumps every time!!!

hammy
2024-04-17 01:37:42 +0000 UTCWhat's so cool about the "Sunday" scene is that it literally is an homage to Stephen Sondheim who inspired Larsons storytelling. Additionally, ALL of the actors in that scene are incredible Broadway stars (vets, newbies), many of whom starred in some of Sondheims greatest musicals.
