Tick Tick Boom: Translating from stage to screen

Rating: 10/10

Synopsis: A film based on the autobiographical musical of the same name written by Johnothan Larson. Starring Andrew Garfield as Johnothan Larson, it covers his story of trying to make it to Broadway, his failing relationship with his girlfriend, and his friends aids diagnosis.

As a fan of musicals and of Andrew Garfield I was excited when this film was coming out. I had listened to rent and knew who Johnathon Larson was however not much about his life. This film is very emotional at points and is all lead by its music however, I imagine they had their problems.

The original stage musical was written as a one man show which Larson started preforming in 1990 and was originally called "Boho Days" named after the second track. It covers his doubts about entering the musical theater industry as he is going on 30 without a big break.

After dying in 1996, the play was rejigged to a three person show, and got its name changed to Tick Tick Boom. This revised version however was only ever played off Broadway in the year 2001.

The film does an excellent job at converting the story and songs to ones for film. Whilst they keep the stage preforming elements cutting to Andrew Garfield playing a piano every once and a while, they don't rely on this to tell the entire story and instead are able to make visually interesting ways to convey the story along side the music. They use a few montages, which include choreography, again tying the film back to its original routes in musical theatre.

There is also a stereotype of musical films casting big stars for their name and acting talent and not so much their musical skills. Recent examples of this is the Cats Musical film, Beauty and the Beast and Les Miserables. All of which casted actors whom are famous, and put them through intense singing courses to teach them how to sing in a number of weeks, which reflects poorly in the films soundtracks.

Whilst Andrew Garfield is a big name actor, he also has a history in musical theatre and did an amazing job at being able to portray Larson. The film decided to put the music and the soundtrack first which I think is very considerate of what Larson himself would have wanted.

The film is also a good watch for those whom aren't hugely into musicals and don't have any prior knowledge, as it has some good themeing, interesting visuals and fun characters which you grow to care about.

Overall, the film puts its soundtrack first and I believe this makes it one of the most successful musical films of the genre in the last decade. It manages to incorporate the fun and most emotional parts of the original musical into the film whilst adding in new ideas and things for both fans of the original and new watchers to enjoy. What could have been difficult to translate to the screen the film makers appeared to do so effortlessly.
