Lin-Manuel Miranda:
“Jonathan Larson is the reason I started writing musicals. His show is what showed me it was possible and he should be here enjoying all of this, he should be on his 10th musical and he's not. And so, you know, I wanted to bring the musical that really strengthened my resolve to get into this business to the screen and hopefully it's gonna hit other artists where they live cause it hit me really hard when I saw it.”
Academy Award nominee and Tony Award winner Andrew Garfield stars as a young theater composer working in a New York City diner while writing what he hopes will be the next great American musical.
Andrew Garfield:
“I think it's really the most vulnerable I've ever been in any projects I've ever done because it feels so personal. It feels like it's it's not me, but it's definitely deeply vulnerable aspects of me that happened to link up with Jonathan. The other thing is, they're all phenomenal actors, phenomenal singers, like they are thoroughbred performers. So I was surrounded by the best of the best. I was jumped into the best musical theater crew I could ever hope for.”
