Lin-Manuel Miranda on why ‘Tick, Tick... Boom!’ is a love letter to American theatre
The Hindu
Ahead of the release of meta musical ‘Tick, Tick... Boom!’, multi-hyphenate Lin-Manuel Miranda gets candid about working with Andrew Garfield for his feature film directorial debut and why Jonathan Larson’s story needs to be told
In Lin-Manuel Miranda’s world, throwing a shoe at a performer is the highest form of praise. For early rehearsals of Tick, Tick... Boom!, lead actor Andrew Garfield was not exempt from the custom. Miranda laughs at the memory and says, “I wasn’t aiming at him, just to be clear. It’s just choir! When someone has a killer solo, you take off your shoe, chuck it and go ‘damn it, that’s amazing!’ It started with In The Heights [his 2005 musical], and that’s what I do when I run out of words to express myself.”
