Published: October 5, 2021 at 3:27 pm

The first single from tick, tick... BOOM!, Netflix's latest movie musical, has now been released, with Andrew Garfield singing the protagonist role of Jonathan Larson.

The autobiographical film pivots around the character of Larson, the creator behind the highly successful musical Rent, first performed on Broadway in 1994. The musical was loosely based on Puccini's opera La bohème.

This new Netflix musical adaptation is the directorial debut for musical theatre legend Lin-Manuel Miranda, the creator of Hamilton and In the Heights.
