Penned by Pulitzer- and Tony-winning Rent writer Larson, Tick, Tick…Boom! is an autobiographical musical that tells the story of Jonathan, an aspiring composer questioning his life choices on the eve of his 30th birthday. As previously announced, Garfield will play Jonathan. Schipp will take on the role of Susan, his girlfriend. Roles for De Jesús and Hudgens have not yet been disclosed.
