The Tick, Tick... Boom! soundtrack was released for streaming and digital download on November 12, 2021, by Masterworks Broadway on the same day as the film's theatrical release. A physical CD was launched on December 3, 2021. Two singles "30/90" was released via streaming on October 5, 2021 [2] and "Louder Than Words" was also released as a single along with the album's pre-order date on October 22, 2021. [3]

Production

Miranda and screenwriter Steven Levenson felt it was important for the film to play with the credit "score by Jonathan Larson" and so sourced many songs from the Library of Congress archives, including several that had never received an official release. [4] [5] This includes three songs from Superbia not included in the soundtrack: "Ever After" (used to underscore the focus group meeting), "LCD Readout", and "Sextet". [6] Kurt Crowley released a solo arrangement of the latter featuring Joshua Henry during the COVID-induced break in the film's production. [7] After considerable fan demand, the newly titled "Sextet Montage" was released as a single on February 4, 2022 in honor of what would have been Larson's 62nd birthday. [8]

The film also includes three stand-alone songs by Larson: "Rhapsody", which plays in the background of Susan's dance recital and over the film's credits; "Out of My Dreams" covered by Veronica Vazquez, which can be heard when Jonathan meets Susan on the roof; and "It Only Takes a Few", covered by The Mountain Goats, which plays over the credits. [6] Of these, only "Out of My Dreams" and "It Only Takes a Few" were released on the film's soundtrack. [1]
