Alien at the Movies

Tick… Tick… Boom!

In 1990 approaching his 30th birthday, struggling musical theater composer Jonathan Larson (Andrew Garfield) begins to doubt his career choice. At the New York Theater Workshop, Larson performs his autobiographical musical hoping to finally make it to Broadway. Lin-Manuel Miranda directs this marvelous musical about a man’s insecurities & his relationships with the people around him. It’s an emotional ride accompanied by some wonderful songs. Look for some surprising cameos. I️ didn't realize until the end that this was based on a true story. See footage of the real Jonathan Larson at the end of the film.

Alien gives it 3 “Moondance Diner” stars out of 4.
