*Tick, Tick... Boom!* is a musical by Jonathan Larson, all about a composer who reaches 30 and has a crisis of confidence about his career choice. The sad irony is that Larson died before this semi-autobiographical musical was ever staged, but it became a success, as of course did *Rent* \-- so the art he created about his self-doubt ended up being the proof that said doubt was unfounded. Anyway, Lin-Manuel Miranda directed a film version for Netflix, which is in theaters for a week before it starts streaming; the cast is pretty impressive, including a part for the great Beth Malone (*Fun Home*) as... herself? Sadly she didn't appear to come to the AFI premiere, but we did get Andrew Garfield, Alexandra Shipp, and Vanessa Hudgens in a big ol' mess of Madonna cosplay.
