Andrew Garfield‘s green scarf swings in the wind as he heads out of a hotel while filming scenes for Tick, Tick… Boom! on Monday (November 16) in New York City.
The 37-year-old actor tried to keep warm on set in a long coat, and his face mask while working alongside co-star Robin de Jesus.
The two were seen sharing some laughs in between scenes at the hotel, before they got some direction from Lin-Manuel Miranda.

The film, which also stars Vanessa Hudgens, Alexandra Shipp, Bradley Whitford, and Judith Light, centers on an aspiring composer named Jon (Garfield), who is a bit worried he has made the wrong career choice to be part of the performing arts.
Just last month, Vanessa was spotted on the set and linked up with Dude With Sign for an important message. See what it was here…

The first trailer for The Boys in the Band is here!
Ryan Murphy has produced the movie version of the Broadway play, for which he won the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play last year.
Here’s a synopsis: In 1968 New York City – when being gay was still considered to be best kept behind closed doors – a group of friends gather for a raucous birthday party hosted by Michael (Jim Parsons), a screenwriter who spends and drinks too much, in honor of the sharp-dressed and sharp-tongued Harold (Zachary Quinto). Other partygoers include Donald (Matt Bomer), Michael’s former flame, now mired in self-analysis; Larry (Andrew Rannells), a randy commercial artist living with Hank (Tuc Watkins), a school teacher who has just left his wife; Bernard (Michael Benjamin Washington), a librarian tiptoeing around fraught codes of friendship alongside Emory (Robin de Jesús), a decorator who never holds back; and a guileless hustler (Charlie Carver), hired to be Harold’s gift for the night. What begins as an evening of drinks and laughs gets upended when Alan (Brian Hutchison), Michael’s straight-laced college roommate, shows up unexpectedly and each man is challenged to confront long-buried truths that threaten the foundation of the group’s tight bond.
Look out for the film on Netflix on September 30, 2020.

Ryan Murphy has produced the movie version of the Broadway play, for which he won the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play last year.

The Boys in the Band, which was written by Mart Crowley, was an unexpected smash hit when it premiered on Broadway over fifty years ago.

Vanessa Hudgens is joining the cast of the upcoming movie musical tick, tick… BOOM!
The musical, which was an off-Broadway show written by the late Jonathan Larson, will be adapted into a movie for Netflix. Lin-Manuel Miranda is making his directorial debut with the movie, which will have a screenplay by Dear Evan Hansen‘s Steven Levenson.

This will mark Vanessa‘s second Larson musical as she appeared in Rent Live last year and she also did the stage version at the Hollywood Bowl. Robin performed in Rent on Broadway!
The musical “will follow Jon (Garfield), an aspiring theater composer who waits tables in New York City while writing Superbia, which he hopes will be the great American musical that will finally give him his big career break. The young man is feeling pressure from his girlfriend Susan (Shipp), who is tired of continuing to put her life on hold for Jon’s career aspiration. Meanwhile, Jon’s best friend and roommate Michael has given up on his creative dream and has taken a high paying advertising job on Madison Avenue and is preparing to move out. As Jon approaches his 30th birthday, he is overcome with anxiety, wondering if his own impossible dream is worth the cost,” according to Deadline.
