High five figures in 1990 would be around $220,000 today.

No, he never finished Superbia.

What you need to do is get Stephen Sondheim to react to your reactions. And then you can react to his reaction...

None of the songs in this film were eligible for the Academy Award. Songs have to be written specifically for the film in order to be eligible. As Jonathan Larson died in 1996 he could not write an original song for this movie. So nothing was eligible.

All the people in the diner song are extremely famous Broadway actors, including Bebe Neuwirth and Bernadette Peters.

The product they were talking about in the focus group was Olestra. They left out the most notorious side effect, which was anal leakage.

Yeah, Andrew Garfield's hair throughout this entire movie is utterly bananas.

When this came out I watched it every day week like two weeks straight. Super meta movie. A movie that is a musical about a writer who writes a musical (Tick Tick Boom) that itself is about writing a musical (Superbia) that’s the last thing he wrote before his big musical (Rent). And the movie itself goes back and forth between spoken scenes and musical numbers with choreography but we also watch him on stage doing the musical of Tick Tick Boom, and sometimes in the movie we see them performing rehearsals for the musical Superbia! So many layers! I know you all know this is what happened, just wrote it out to keep track of the layers! Glad you guys enjoyed it. Also don’t know if you caught it but the rapper who does that short rap song Playgame is Black Thought from The Roots.

"Tick, Tick... Boom!" Was written prior to Rent, that's why the film doesn't seen to be leading to Rent.

You make that message from Stephen Sondheim your ring tone.

Yes, that was Judith Light, of Who's the Boss?, as Rosa. This is the sort of role she's cast in these days, a no-nonsense businesswoman who has to deliver some hard truths, and she's brilliant at it. (She's won 2 Tony Awards, in consecutive years. And yes, wasn't Bradley Whitford an inspired piece of casting as Stephen Sondheim?

The outdoor theater where Garfield sings his solo is the Delacorte Theater. It's in the middle of Central Park and it's where they have Shakespeare in the Park performances every year.
