![]() ![]() Then I was talking to one of Jonathan’s friends who told me they used to go swimming there. It was perfect, it was a good size, it felt of the period, and it even had the red and green stripes. That outdoor pool has a big mural by Keith Haring that you see Jonathan pass by at the top of one of the scenes, and it’s also the pool that was featured in Kids. “We looked at tons of recreation centers for the scene, and we ended up and the Tony Dapolito recreation center, which has an indoor and outdoor pools. “For the song ‘Swimming,’ which was in some early versions of Tick, Tick…Boom! but I don’t believe was in the version for the three-person cast after Jonathan died, the lyrics talk about red and green lines and distance marks,” DiGerlando says. Eagle-eyed viewers will catch glimpses of locations including the East Village theater stalwart New York Theatre Workshop, the now-defunct Moondance diner on Sixth Avenue and Canal Street, The Strand bookstore, and even the West Village’s Tony Dapolito Recreation Center, which proved to be something of a serendipitous filming location. To accurately portray Larson’s New York, the production had to move beyond his apartment to include some of his regular haunts.

Recreations include the interior of Larson’s former Greenwich Street apartment (which the team was able to visit to take measurements), a director’s chair that belonged to the director (they had the original, but it was too fragile to risk using it), Larson’s collection of cassette tapes, and his homemade Christmas cards. Everything you see on the set has meaning.” “There are a lot of things in the set that actually belonged to Jonathan, or we made replicas because some of them were too precious to subject them to possible wear and tear. This was more of a spiritual decision and a way to allow Andrew Garfield to walk in Jonathan Larson’s shoes and get into character by surrounding him with Larson’s stuff,” he says. ![]() “When I did Fosse/Verdon, it was important to recreate things because people were familiar with the sets of Cabaret and All That Jazz. When it wasn’t possible-or safe-to use items from Larson’s real life, DiGerlando and his team did their best to faithfully recreate items that would bolster Tick, Tick…Boom!’s authenticity.
