Jonathan Larson singing the song Sunday from his musical Tick, Tick... BOOM! He is sitting behind a piano and singing by himself. This video was ripped from Broadway - The American Musical (2004).
After seeing Netflix's Tick Tick Boom and watching this...wow, what a beautiful tribute they did in that film to this song. They really captured Jonathan's spirit.
This specific song makes me cry for some reason.. it's so silly and funny yet .. heartfelt! It's probably for the talent that he had, and is no longer with us😔
I had heard this song was a tribute to the musical Sunday in the Park with George by Stephen Sondheim, but I just found this clip below from when that Sondheim musical performed at the Tonys, and my mind was blown. This is a great one to watch after seeing this one with Jonathan. th-cam.com/video/x0AJlmwqfxg/w-d-xo.html
Seriously, it sounds like there are 5 people in the room. Wow, and he kept persevering in the face of rejection. Even without the full production of this piece as in the movie, it is incredibly powerful.
@@poggamus4330 Sadly, that's how a lot of artists experience fame and success - Van Gogh is another example. We never truly appreciate how much another person means to us until we lose them.
I'm actually impressed that Lin managed to incorporate the feeling of this song, especially at the beginning. And having the song sung not just by character Jonathan but also other Broadway legends is a brilliant offering to him
Oh no There are 2 versions of t t boom The og one with 1 singer And the one that seems lin adapted, with 2 cosingers (+ the movie part of adding the ppl close in all songs)
He transformed it into a broadway Sunday, the scene it's suppose to look like Sondheim's Sunday, with the original actress from Sunday in the park with George 🥰
Anthony Rapp often tells a story about how when asked what he did for a living jonathan responded by saying "I'm the future of musical theater"... and if only he had lived a few more years he really would have been... RIP
I’m so happy that line made it into the movie, I felt like it had to have been a direct quote the way they worked it into the dialogue, so thanks for sharing this tidbit!
It's such a moving and beautiful tribute to what it means to live a life in the theatre, and the lineage. Lin-Manuel Miranda captured it so beautifully.
I'm so broken man. I relate so much to Jonathan in the sense of feeling out of time and unsure of what we should be doing. I teared so much at the end when the Happy Birthday melody started, I don't know why, but it's so sad. I just want to find what my life is about.
Me too. I’m afraid of dying young without achievements because my mum and her mum passed away early so I feel like I won’t be here long enough to become someone. I think it’s very human to search for meaning. I also think the reason why you feel relate so much to Jonathan is because you have an artistic soul. That you’re bound to create or express something of your own. You can start from understanding the nature of yourself and what you like to do. Something makes you think ‘what a way to spend a day’ :) And share it, and share love. I think love is what life is about.
i totally understand this, there’s such a level of uncertainty in life, especially for artists. in this day and age it’s terrifying not knowing. i can’t see more than 2 months into my future at a time. and the happy birthday melody haunted me so badly that i couldn’t sleep. any kind of traditional song brings back memories and general nostalgia for me. when he played the song it brought back that nostalgic feeling but when he left it unfinished, it became such a metaphor for his life. he couldn’t see the success or finish his work on his own so the orchestra finished it for him through that final thundering note. i can’t stop thinking about it.
I feel you, man. I relate to him to on so many levels. How life goes by quickly and feeling like you're running out of time to prove anything. Feeling like you're just wasting time doing what feels right because you're getting nothing out of it and you can't help but to push through before your time runs out.
Ugh. Little does he know that thirty years from now, this song will be sung by Broadway royalty on a multi-million dollar set. An actor, who is set to win the academy award, will be playing him in a movie about this musical that he crafted when we was working for shit tips in a diner. Little does he know that a young musical theatre writer was watching this Off-Broadway performance when he was still a teen. This teen will then grow up to be one of the most renowned writers of musical theatre in history, and direct his musical as a film. Little does he know.
Andrew Garfield was PERFECT. Jonathan was a genius ahead of his time. A true artist gone too soon. The film is a gorgeous, fitting tribute to a brilliant man… 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Larson was definitely ahead of his time but without him we would’ve have the broadway shows we have today. He paved the way. Walked so that Miranda could run
Watching this after hearing about Sondheim passing. He was a huge inspiration to Johnathan and even supported his work. This song is a homage to him. RIP Steve.
@@vinniequick watched Jonathan’s original performance of Tick Tick Boom after Sondheim died. Two of the songs in this use music that Sondheim wrote. Most notably Sunday. Sondheim was a legend. His name is also mentioned specifically in Rent as well
The first time I heard this song and before I knew the title, I thought to myself during the dialogue intro, “wow, this sounds remarkably similar to Sondheim’s ‘Sunday.’” Then the melody began and I started laughing. What a genius Jonathan was.
How does it sound like only three people clapping? It's almost poetic how unknown some of the worlds most talented being are. He truly made it big posthumously.
I’d never seen Jonathan Larson perform before (not before watching Andrew Garfield’s version, at least), and I love how “unpolished” this is compared to the big production that was the movie - just a guy and a piano, singing a silly song he wrote to a smattering of applause from a small crowd. There’s something tender here. Something very very real. How could he have known he’d have a movie dedicated to him, or a massive cast of stars singing the chorus? (And a very, very pretty actor playing his younger self? 😆 I mean, I loved Garfield, but you can’t see the sleepless caffeinated nights of a struggling creator on his face -maybe I’m projecting? But here, you can.) Something about that makes me shiver. Good shivers.
He reminds me of joe iconis. The main difference between the two is that joe is still alive and saw his show go to Broadway. On the Jonathan Larson project album joe’s wife was involved with the project and sings a song called hosing the furniture. Every time I listen to it I have to remind myself that joe didn’t write it. It reminds me of his song ammonia in the feel. That’s where they are especially similar, both create crazy funny silly songs, I mean joe has a song called velociraptor for Pete’s sake. If u like Jon in this state I recommend giving a look at joe’s stuff.
I quite disagree with that. Andrew Garfield's performance was very manic and altogether super good. I felt the frustrated and sleepless struggle throughout the entire movie. I do agree that this is tender and real but Sunday was actually my favorite performance in the movie especially because of all the actors and the rendition of the chorus. It felt heavenly. I felt at peace so much after hearing the song.
Jonathan Larson made such a difference in the face of music and my life. It's a shame he never gotten to see RENT. But I know Jonathan is smiling up in heaven. =D Lovely song. Lovely man. Rest in eternal peace, Jonathan Larson.
If I remember correctly from my research thus far, a friend recorded his entire first show. However, it never got fully released. I also would love to see the full show myself. I didn’t know about him before watching Tick… Tick… Boom! but now that I do I can’t stop thinking about him.
Jonathan is one of my biggest influences. He knew what could be possible with theatre, wanted to change the way people looked at it, and if he wanted it done he would make it happen. And he loved it more than anything which is most important
"...that's why your'e just a waiter!" Oh boy, I really want to slap the person who said that to jonathan in the face. With my RENT Book, CD and DVDs...
The video was uploaded 16 years ago in 2006! How is that even possible. Love the rawness of it, Andrew Garfield might even get an Oscar for this, I won’t be surprised!
It's pretty amazing that Tick Tick Boom has introduced this guy to so many of us who never knew who he was, or what happened to him tragically as he devoted countless hours to focusing his life's work. It consumed him. He lives on.
Jonathan was such a talented person. What has always made me so sad was how hard he worked...and worked and worked...for years in NY trying to break through. Slaving at that crappy diner to scratch by. Performing also as we see him here..brilliantly..to scant crowds. And then when fortune smiled and he finally got noticed for the supreme talent that he was, he was taken from us. I made a trip to that diner to remember him. Thank you Jonathan.
Im a straight guy from Indiana. Jonathan Larson makes me think of all the things i HAVEN'T accomplished!!! Is this what this guy was really like?? His drive is totally inspiring!!!
gotta say, they did a great job at putting the same emotions and the same feeling when they rearranged for the movie. imagine being this man who does a great job even without a chorus behind him or big instrumentals, hell, he didnt even need those with his awesome stsge presence. he really was an incredible guy who just had his time unfairly short.
I regret that I've never felt sad at Johnathon Larson's death, and I think it's because of the aliveness of his legacy. I wish he were still alive, he was clearly a great man. And I think he's a great singer!
His story makes me so sad, but I'm also in awe of him. The movie Tick Tick Boom did an amazing job. It makes me tear up watching this and thinking about how much more he could've done :(( Such an amazing person
Wow! Jonathan was a genious! Why did he have to die? We lost one of the greatest people! I would have given the world to meet him! Just being in his presence would have been great! Thank You Jonathan Larson
This is amazing… I didn’t expect it to be this good tbh lol Lin-Manuel Miranda really did such a great job capturing the spirit of Tick Tick Boom, you can just tell the way he did it on screen was just as Jonathan was picturing it in his head 🤯
I've loved this musical since 2018 and I've loved his work since 2009, as a (hopefully) aspiring playwrite I hope to have even a sliver of his individuality thank you for the inspiration Mr. Larson
This song sold me on Jonathan Larson more than Rent ever did. I’d never heard of Sunday in the Park with George before hearing this song. I was, however, a barista.
This was my favorite from the film. I had no idea really about him, except I knew of Rent, of course. How great to see him perform his song. Hard to believe there isn't a roaring applause! Such a clever, fun, poignant song
I'll be the FIRST to say it. LinManuel did an amazing job of making this simple piece pop and become a musical masterpiece. Honestly, not a religious person but BLESS those who take inspiration and cherish it so much as to make the vision others couldn't make happen and turn it into GOLD. Sunday is one of my fav songs soely because of that. I hold and treasure any artist who has enough love and direction to give inspiration where it is due. Never give up. There may be someone who see's that passion and grows from it. You NEVER know.
Not so much "inspired by" - more an "homage to" - Sondheim taught him for a while, and this was his way of saluting The Master! Done with grace and wit, I'm sure you'll agree.
After watching this I understand the genius of Jonathan Larson & casting Andrew Garfield in the Netflix movie of Tick Tock Boom! I saw Rent on B’Way with many of the original cast & after watching this am heartbroken of his senseless death being misdiagnosed he would be with us now ! What an amazing guy !
Thinking of his story...and what he created, makes me well up. There are 4 words that sum it all up, what we owe to him and everything he has given the world. On behalf of everyone he touched in his short life... THANK YOU JONATHAN LARSON!
omg, i love tick tick boom, and i love this song and JONATHON LARSON IS THE MOST AMAZING, MOST TALENTED, MOST SOULFUL, BRILLIANT GENIUS WHO WILL BE REMEMBERED 4EVER! i love watching him, but i feel like i'm watching a ghost. like when ur listening to Boho Days on the cd, a chill goes up my spine every time. wow. thank you jonathon larson
My mom always told me that God sometimes take brilliant people away early because they were too perfect for this world, I guess he was one of them. So glad that Lin-Manuel makes us notice this legendary person.

I dont know a lot about theatre but I think he Acheived what he wanted
He still became this I feel. He did so much with his small body of work
This performance in Netflix's film adaptation of Tick Tick Boom is EPIC
Lin-Manuel Miranda did a pretty incredible job adapting this play into film, I “can’t wait to see what he does next” hahaha
One of the best parts of the film
It's such a moving and beautiful tribute to what it means to live a life in the theatre, and the lineage. Lin-Manuel Miranda captured it so beautifully.

Today would have been his 56th birthday -- What a horrible loss to anyone who appreciates talent. God Bless Jonathan!!
Damn he was young.
It takes serious balls to parody a sondheim song! He did such a great job
This makes me SO happy. He's like a kid up there, loving every second. I hope he knows how much he gave to the world.. how he moved us all so deeply.
Writing this piece so that it is like a mirror reflection of Sondheim's "Sunday" shows how talented he was.
Larson was definitely ahead of his time but without him we would’ve have the broadway shows we have today. He paved the way. Walked so that Miranda could run

You will always be remembered as a legend.

Rest in eternal peace, Jonathan Larson.
This is so much more brilliant now that I realize it's sort of a parody of Sunday in the Park with George.
It's more of an homage... But yes...
The sound quality on this is WAY better than the other clips of Larson performing on TH-cam. I wonder if this is from a full recording...
