Tick, Tick...Boom
Ron Howard and Brian Grazer will produce Lin-Manuel Miranda's directorial debut of Tick, Tick...Boom, the autobiographical musical by Jonathan Larson, who created Rent and died soon before it's premiere. Miranda is no stranger to the musical, having stared in the 2014 stage production of Tick, Tick…Boom! Steven Levenson will adapt the musical for film, which tells the story of Jon, an aspiring composer who is approaching his 30th Birthday and is working on the musical he hopes will be his big break, Superbia, his girlfriend, Susan who is tired of putting her life on hold and his childhood best friend, Michael who gave up his creative aspirations for a high-paying advertising job on Madison Avenue and is about to move out of the place he shares with Jon.

Re: Tick, Tick...Boom
Andrew Garfield has been cast in the lead role of Jon, an aspiring theater composer who works as a waiter. Joining him will be Alexandra Shipp who will play Jon's girlfriend Susan, who is tired of putting her life on hold for Jon.
Vanessa Hudgens and Robin de Jesus will also star in the film their roles were not listed in the Deadline article I read but traditionally the Musical had 4 characters, Jon, Susan, Jon's childhood best friend Micheal and a young Woman Jon encounters, in most performances I've seen online the woman is played by the same actress who plays Susan leaving the cast primarily at 3 actors. If I were to guess de Jesus will play Micheal while Hudgens will play the other women.
