The song goes on for a while and the rest is actually much sicker. He learned piano for the part but doubt he actually plays in every single hand shot. Josh Henry who plays his friend/backup singer Roger is also a phenomenal vocalist and V Hudge is also great.
They recorded live the music, like it was an actual performance (in a venue and everything) as it shows in the shots where Andrew is sitting in front of a piano. And also made a studio recording, so they can combine the music, when it is in and out of diegesis. Lin-Manuel Miranda himself said that he treated the score of this film, as if he was workshoping an original musical.
Joshua Henry who sings harmony is a known Broadway actor. If you watch videos of the real Jonathan Larson, you will see that Andrew Garfield really captures his mannerisms for this film. If you watch the film, they have real clips during the credits. The films pays homage to Stephen Sondheim as much as to Larson. All of the music was written by Jonathan Larson.
Here’s what Lin said about the directing/ editing process to the LA Times. “I found that editing is similar to composing a theater score: playing with tempo, tension and release; figuring out when to stay in a moment, when to zoom past it and when to return to it. It was the thing I was most scared of but turned out to be incredibly analogous to what I know how to do.” They also discussed the sparse use of instruments keeping actual Broadway constraints in mind.
Recently found out that he initially took piano lessons because he got the part to play as James Rhode (a pianist) for some autobiographical movie, but that project didn’t push thru. He got offered this part by LMM so he took voice lessons as well. He partially played the piano on some parts but definitely not the full piece. He just knows enough to convince watchers that he’s truly playing the piano. Have the hand placements and body movements right.
Andrew Garfield spent a year learning how to play the piano & sing. Yes it is all him, it’s covered in a great feature with Andrew & LMM discussing the production. Andrew was LMM’s first choice, had to talk him into it and waited for him. Both felt his fear of whether he could pull it off on every take added to the performance as creators feel the same way.
@@JacobRestituto He only actually learnt one or 2 of the songs all the way through on piano and then got the piano coach to teach him the rhythm of the hands and feet so he could "act" the rest of the songs. The vocals though are 100% him. React to the song "Why" to hear him play piano and sing live on set
Andrew is very passionate about this movie. Jonathan Larson wrote the music and the movie is adapted from a three person stage show that premiered off Broadway in 2001, which was adapted from Jonathan's original rock monologue by the same name. You can find videos of him performing it on RUclips. Jonathan's sister Julie was also a producer on the film and appears briefly at the end.
This song is a mix of live and pre records I think. So far the creators only confirmed Boho and Why as live. Lin requested Andrew to be reasonably believable as a piano player so he can pan from the hands to his face in a scene naturally. Lin said he is always annoyed when somebody is playing piano and it is off with the body movements ie “does not move in time with the music”. So Andrew learned to play enough piano to make this believable.
Recently found out that he initially took piano lessons because he got the part to play as James Rhode (a pianist) for some autobiographical movie, but that project didn’t push thru. He got offered this part by LMM so he took voice lessons as well. He partially played the piano on some parts but definitely not the full piece. He just knows enough to convince watchers that he’s truly playing the piano. Have the hand placements and body movements right. Why he goes to all that trouble? He once said because he’s lucky enough to be offered the opportunity to have best teachers to teach him these things. If the director or producers offers him those lesson to prepare for the role, he’d take it.
Lin said that from casting Andrew Garfield to the beginning of production was about a year. Andrew learned to sing and play the piano during that time. There were 2 or 3 different scripts for the stage production of Tick Tick Boom, plus a lot of Jonathan Larson's notes ...apparently Lin and the producers went to the library of congress and were given access to his writings. Lin, Steven Levenson and the producers of the movie went through and combined everything into one script and expanded the 3 person stage show into a full feature production.
Yess I've only recently watched this movie (and I'm no real musical fan so I didn't know about this before) but this song has been stuck in my head ever since it's so good, my other favs are louder than words and no more :))
So stoked you're doing this now--I just watched this film for the first time this week (watched it twice), so this is perfect timing! 😂 I think Netflix only released the short clip version because the whole song (close to 4 minutes) is also interrupted by dialogue scenes to set up important characters/events/stakes (it's the opening number of the movie), so they didn't want to include all of that, i guess? So if you just want the song, probably looking up one of the soundtrack videos on RUclips is your best bet. And yes, all of the music was by Jonathon Larson--Lin has said in an interview that he was determined not to re-write any of Larson's songs. some of them are in a different order/from different versions of the original show/from a different show he wrote, but they're all Larson. (and all worth a listen/reaction, though my personal recommendations are 'Come to Your Senses'/'Why'/'Louder than Words'--or the full version of 30/90!)
all songs are written by jonathan larson (guy who wrote rent) and yeah lin directed it. Lin was incredibly inspired by Larsons work- Rent is the reason he became a composer so he was the perfect person to direct this movie. It's his first time too so I was thoroughly impressed!
As others have commented, they did a mix of live singing and lip syncing… but they actually had to deal with EXTREMELY strict rules about any live singing done on set as this was shot at the height of the pandemic. For sound nerds who are interested, here’s a fascinating, super in depth discussion with LMM and the sound team about how they did the recording/mixing: ruclips.net/video/9eoSpbjX5-o/видео.html
Sorry if I came off snarky in my last comments 😬 If you are interested there is a much longer version of 30/90 and it’s amazing. Andrew learned both piano and how to sing for this role as well as studying in depth Johnathan Larson’s life, if you watch some videos of Larson and Andrew side by side it’s like they are the same person ☺️ Other suggestions to check out from this movie are : Why Sunday Louder than Words Therapy Johnny Can’t Decide
netflix filmhouse did a bit of a mini documentary on the making of. i watched it yesterday and it is soooo goood. I honestly did not know that Andrew was british and he LEARNED to sing for this part absolutely stunning!
You should definitely check out "Why", "Therapy" and "Come to Your Senses". Basically anything. This whole soundtrack is incredible. It would also be fun for you to react to the Superbia song that he's workshopping as part of the plot of the movie.
I love your videos. This is my first comment on your channel for as long as I’ve been a subscriber. Also you’ll love each song and the movie once you see it!
I came here for we don’t talk about Bruno then watched all the reactions to encanto then saw your reactions to in the heights then Hamilton and now tick tick boom! Obviously huge Lin Manuel fan here and just theater geek here! Just wanted to say great content 🙌🏾
The song is pretty long but Andrew Garfield had to learn how to sing and play piano in just a years time! He is amazing in this Movie. Another recommendation is louder than words!
If you keep looking on the Netflix channel that you’re watching 30/90 on there’s a bunch of behind-the-scenes footage that they added because the movie got so much hype. I’ll go find a lot of cool behind-the-scenes stuff there
This song is a fucking monster to learn vocally (i'm not even going to get into the piano part.) I had a friend who was trying to learn this for a community theatre production of Tick Tick Boom and there were many a time I had to dodge thrown plastic plants and a couple of red solo cups as my friend, who loves musicals and Jon Larson in particular, called him a fucking sadist for writing this song. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The most tragic part to me is that Rent is deeply flawed and was never refined because no one had the heart to criticize it fairly after his death. Had he lived, Rent would not have been his masterpiece. He'd have given us something much better.
@@JacobRestituto Oh I know I'm sorry I wasn't giving out or anything sorry sorry I've listened to this song hundreds of times and juring the video I was getting real hyped and then ✨pause✨ Sorry again
This is just my honest opinion, but reviewing things like this with starting and stopping throughout is completely disruptive to creating a supportive critique. Wasn't anymore than 20 seconds in when you paused to talk about it. Music, art, acting, writing or any form of creating or developing something; let it play all the way through your first time watching it so you can focus on it as a whole and understand the context of everything in it. As well, focusing on nitty gritty details the first time through distracts from paying attention to a composition as a whole. This has been literally one of the first rules in all my video, animation and music classes. Watch it through once, then critique after so you can get the whole story beginning and end, which also shows respect to the artist/person as well. Just a suggestion though. From a viewer standpoint on informal youtube, even still it kinda felt like somewhat like being in a car when you are in the passenger seat trying to teach someone how to drive stick shift for the first time, lol. Not trying to be rude at all so I hope it doesn't come off that way, just being completely honest with my impressions, but it was just like nails on a chalk board to me from all my previous classes and experience in design, video and audio production. Take it as you wish or discard as you like! :)
But what more trashy version are you watching? The song is cut very short and it is not appreciated how the song really is. Why didn't Netflix share the full version? Because the other songs in the movie are complete.
@@JacobRestituto It is that in the song 30/90 Roger interpreted by Joshua Henry, has more participation, not only does the choir, in the full version if you can appreciate how the song is. The version you saw only had Jonathan Larson played by Andrew singing the song. In addition, the song lasts 4:25 minutes, the video you saw barely reaches the minute 1:44.
I think Netflix probably didn't release the full version of 30/90 on RUclips because it does kind of give away a lot of the first bit of the movie and I can understand why they wouldn't want to share too much of it.
The song goes on for a while and the rest is actually much sicker. He learned piano for the part but doubt he actually plays in every single hand shot. Josh Henry who plays his friend/backup singer Roger is also a phenomenal vocalist and V Hudge is also great.
Josh Henry also has three Tony nominations.
oh sickkk
I like the first part more for sure

This entire film and musical has been my favorite thing to come out of 2021. I can't wait to see you react to more. It's so well done.

:)
It is Andrew on the piano, he learned both singing and playing the piano for the role
Nice!
he got the role a year before filming, and use that year to learn to sing and play piano, he is still learning to play the piano even after filming.
Wow!!

Oh snap!

😮
There is also a full playlist of tick tick boom soundtrack if you want to know more of it
Oh cool thanks!
You should definitely check out "Why", "Therapy" and "Come to Your Senses". Basically anything. This whole soundtrack is incredible.
It would also be fun for you to react to the Superbia song that he's workshopping as part of the plot of the movie.

@@JacobRestituto my pleasure!
you have to watch the whole song clip! you should also check out "come to your senses", Vanessa Hudgens and Alexandra Shipp sing it.
Oh cool thanks!
They did a mix of lipsyncing and live,like the song “Why” Andrew sang live.
Oh cool!
You should really listen to this entire song, it gets better and better. No joke! Also, I highly recommend react to Therapy and Come To Your Senses 😉
Cool thanks!!!
@@JacobRestituto just realized that I forgot to mention "Why" too lol sorry
This song is a fucking monster to learn vocally (i'm not even going to get into the piano part.)

You should listen to Therapy from tick tick boom too! It's an amazing song and extremely impressive

please react to therapy! that's one of the best songs/scenes in the movie. This is one of my new fav movies, sooo good.
Thanks!
The most tragic part to me is that Rent is deeply flawed and was never refined because no one had the heart to criticize it fairly after his death. Had he lived, Rent would not have been his masterpiece. He'd have given us something much better.
😭
I heard someone say that if Jonathan was alive he'd still be rewriting Rent. He had some much more left in him if he'd only had the chance.
You really should watch the movie. It was really good. Andrew Garfield was great.
Thanks!!
you should check out the full thing!
oh sick!
I saw Andrew Garfield, and I clicked
Lol
It's him playing and singing live.
Amazing
ahhh finally!!
ayyy
Please please please listen to the whole song! It gets really interesting.
Thank you!
For real, I've dropped my 58 so many times its not logical that it still works
Bahahahha. Legit
This is only the first half of the song the rest is super cool and you should react to it
Thanks!!!
You didn’t even go thru the whole song. Last time I will watch this. Yeesh
Sorry to hear that. This was the full video on Netflix channel
Look up for Lin Manuel Miranda for the production.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
You have to react to therapy from tick tick boom
cool thanks!
I'm interested in your opinion of the song therapy from this...
🙏🏼🙏🏼
louder than words next please!
sweet thanks!!
I got so frustrated watching this cos the pausing before the big parts killed me 🪦
it's my first time hearing the song, lol, i didn't know it was the big part

I love your videos but you always pause the songs at the worst moments lol.

It sucks that you stop at every time.
