La Barge, Wyoming. Population 401.

The Moondance Diner was in Manhattan from 1933-2007, and is where Monica from "Friends" worked, as well as Mary Jane in Spider-Man. It was closed, donated to a museum, and then sold to someone for $7,500. That person then spent $40,000 driving it to La Barge, Wyoming, where it sits in disuse. Sign on the window says it's for lease.

(For Robert Service fans, sadly, no, this is not the "LeBarge" from "The Cremation of Sam McGee.")

Prom-posal

Fem!Peter Parker x Stark!Reader

You and Petra both could not believe it. You had proposed to her, and despite everything she had said yes honestly the thought of it still made Petra smile a little more and more.

She found herself screaming in delight while working a shift at the Moondance diner, she was so giddy at the mere thought of it.

Any normal girl would consider herself lucky for the fact that she was marrying a stark meaning that she would want for nothing in the world. Not Petra, she was excited because she was marrying her best friend.

She couldn’t help but squeal in delight. She grabbed Betty’s hand and jumped around in the kitchen. And then her boss, Enrique, had to interrupt.

“Yo! Parker! What’s with the jumpin’ jacks?!” his voice thundered.

“Enrique! I’m engaged!” Petra shouted back, excited as ever.

“Yeah. Yeah we all saw the scene.” the man just went back to the grill.

Petra was beyond excited for her marriage to you.

Meanwhile you were with Harley Keener, trying to begin planning the party and ceremony.

“I screwed up” you said kind of upset.

“How?” the young inventor asked with a smirk, “you’re marrying Petra Parker.”

“I ruined my proposal to my best friend”

“Second best friend!” Harley interrupted jokingly.

“I mean…I proposed to her before she even had our prom.” An idea popped into your head, “prom! I need to make my prom-posal to her even more special!”

“Well don’t over think it. And don’t under think it either” your pal offers. “Who can help us?”

Only one name came to mind: Ned Leeds

Would it qualify as kidnapping as to how you got Ned to help you? Put it simply, you saw him walking down the street after school, grabbed him by the backpack and flew back to the Avengers Tower.

“Mr. (Y/N) Stark, sir” Ned said after landing, “that was bot the most terrifying and awesome experience of my life”

“Ned I need your help” you tried to explain only for Harley to come flying in with Michelle in his arms.

“Dude that was weird” Michelle grumbled.

“I need both of you to help me” you tried to explain, “Petra deserves a prom-posal as awesome as her and I’m clueless”

“Whipped” Michelle said jokingly.

“Petra loves Star Wars! And so do i” Ned said with a little nervousness.

“Okay but why?” Michelle asked

“Because I love her and I screwed up the actual marriage proposal” you answered back

“Why?”

“Because she’s the best thing ever in my life and I-I couldn’t think straight when I saw her smile”

“Why” Michelle giggled

“Are you gonna help me or not?!”

“Yeah sure” she said nonchalantly.

That night Petra swung to her apartment and snuck in thru the window, trying to be as quiet as a mouse…or even a spider.

Then aunt May’s voice broke the silence, “Petra, honey, can you come into the living room?”

Busted. Petra thought to herself. She switched into her favorite pair of sweats and hoodie and walked into her living room.

The stereo was playing ‘Always and Forever’ softly. The whole living room was decorated like the Ewok village from Return of the Jedi.

You stood there with a bouquet of flowers and a small smile on your face. “Hey there Spider Monkey” you said softly.

“Hey you” she answered back.

“Petra, I love you so much” you said, “I know I screwed up my proposal and all but-”

“You didn’t.” She answered back with a giggle. “I thought it was just right. I wanna spend my life with you, (Y/N)”

“I wanna spend my life with you too.” You held up the flowers, “and I want to spend prom with you as well. Will you go to prom with me?”

Petra stood there, tears forming in her eyes. She ran forward and jumped into your arms. “Yes. yes! Yes to everything!” she giggled before kissing you. Somehow each kiss with you felt like the first.

Ned, Harley and Michelle each appeared with their own lightsabers and threw confetti.

“Finally.” Michelle said with a little smile.

“Look at my best friend” Ned said with his own smile. “Do you think Y/N will let me be best man?”

“I called dibs dude!” Harley immediately shouted back.

“How about dude of honor?”

“I’ll allow it.”

Not that you or Petra had noticed the argument. The two of you were so busy, lost in each other, lost in this small, infinite moment of happiness.

HOLY SHIT moondance diner in friends season 3 episode 21 😱😱😱 jonathan u star

[i-am-the-entertainer]

Tick, Tick... Boom! Filming Locations

Some people have too much time on their hands. I am one of those people.

One of the things I love about Tick, Tick... Boom is the obvious affection the filmmakers have for the NYC theater scene, an affection shared with the film's subject Jonathan Larson. To that end, I recently decided to try to identify some of the filming locations in the film.

One thing that was extremely helpful in this process was the "special thanks" list in the film's credits, which names a lot of the orgs that were used in location shooting and from which I was able to make some really good guesswork.

Note that this is mainly for location shoots. Things like the recreated Moondance Diner, which was done on a set, are not included in this.

508 Greenwich Street - Jonathan's apartment

(from MWhiteShelley on Twitter/X) This is probably the most obvious location: Jonathan Larson's actual address. While interiors of the apartment itself were filmed on a set in a soundstage, it is obvious on viewing the film that there was some location shooting at the building, most prominently in "No More" when Jonathan and Michael enter and climb the stairs.

The Underground Theater at Abrons Arts Center - The musical theater workshop scene

(from their website) You'll probably recognize this brutalist theater from the Stephen Sondheim workshop scene (which, according to this video, was one of the last scenes shot) – it also briefly appears a few shots earlier in the scene where Ira Weitzman is observing Jonathan rehearsing. The Abrons Arts Center is located in the Lower East Side and is part of the Henry Street Settlement.

The Strand Bookstore - "30/90" and Sextet

(From an article by The Guardian, photo by Bruce yuanye Bi/Alamy) The Strand is instantly recognizable to New Yorkers, maybe less-so for others unless you've visited as a tourist. It's a giant independent bookstore located two blocks from Union Square. Prominently featured in "30/90" and visited by Jonathan during the "Sextet Montage" where he tries to sell some of his records.

Teatro LATEA at the Clemente - Susan's dance recital

(from their Instagram) This one was a little harder, because obviously it's just a black box theater and how many of those are there in NYC? What clued me in was 1) the Clemente Soto Velez Cultural and Educational Center, where Teatro LATEA is located, is thanked in the credits and 2) those chairs (a little bit more obvious in this photo). I've seen and worked a fair number of shows in that theater, and as soon as I noticed the very distinctive chairs for Susan's dance recital I was able to look more closely at the scene and immediately could map out the layout of Teatro Latea.

The Delacorte Theater - "Why"

Another easily recognizable location for locals, the Delacorte is the amphitheater where Jonathan sneaks in and sings "Why". It doesn't get named in the film but it does in the stage version.

Hunter College's Thomas Hunter Hall Sixth Floor North Dance Studio - The Superbia workshop

(from Facebook) This was, without question, the hardest location to find. In the film it's identified as being in the Theater District, specifically at Playwrights Horizons (an Untapped Cities article about filming locations even claims this, and uh, basically gets everything wrong). However, if you've ever been to the modern Playwrights Horizons, it looks very different, both on the inside and the outside, and while they do have rehearsal spaces in a slightly less-remodeled building on Lafayette Street, none of the spaces there look like that. The reference to Hunter College in the credits narrowed it down, and then it was just a matter of finding photos of the studios (this gallery of recent restoration work shows the different angles that you will recognize from the movie), discovering an architectural plan of some planned renovations in the building, and then looking out the windows of the building and comparing it to Google Maps street view to figure out which side of the building it was on.

...I have waaaaay too much time on my hands.

I do want to point out, Thomas Hunter Hall is actually located on Lexington Avenue between 68th and 69th, quite a few blocks northeast from the Theater District depicted in the film.

New York Theatre Workshop - The framing scenes

(from a New York Theatre Guide article) The real Jonathan Larson's artistic home, where he performed both Rent and the original version of tick, tick... BOOM! thirty years ago. Both the theater's exterior (at the start of "Louder Than Words") and interior (the tick, tick... BOOM! performance scenes) feature prominently in the movie.

Fun fact: when they were shooting the film in March, they originally planned to film the NYTW scenes inside a recreated set because there was a show playing at the theater at the time (though not referenced in the linked video, I happen to know that the show was Endlings by Celine Song, the writer/director of the recent Oscar contender Past Lives) but when filming restarted the theater was available again because of the shutdown.

Any other locations you recognized that I didn't include? Let me know! Currently trying to figure out where Michael's apartment building (Victory Towers) was located – the scene in the car leading to the arrival at teh building makes me think it's somewhere near Central Park, but that footage could also have been filmed separately.

[ivalice-tifalucis]

I finally bought Rent Filmed Live on Broadway which is the final performance on Nederlander Theatre in 2008 and I understand why many people said this is their favorite. The casts are all top notch. It was well sung, well acted, well improvised. I can see how Michael Greif use this iteration for 2019 Live.

But after watching Tick Tick Boom and got too attached with Jonathan Larson, I can’t accept anyone who said this cast is superior compare to OBC. It’s unfair when the final casts were seasoned actors who some of them have been the understudies and have played their characters multiple times while also excel in other musicals. Moreover, they have been studying and trained for their role like their life depended on it.

Meanwhile, the OBC when they were casted were an ex child actor with dark baggage struggling to get a gig as an adult, a CBGB rock singer who just got his band disbanded, bunch of other struggling theatre school graduates including Jonathan Larson’s co worker in Moondance Diner, cafe and bar mitzvah singer, and a member of comedy group?? Come on!!

Moreover, these are the only cast who met Jonathan Larson in person, invited to his house party, and were told they’re his friends because they’re gonna portray them. The rests are invalid.

2. A wide shot of the Moondance Diner, performers dancing outside in unison as sparking text reading, "Sunday" slowly lowers.

3. Jonathan sitting on a black piano on stage, lights bright in the background. He talks into the mic and then sighs.

4. Jonathan talking to Michael across the counter at the Moondance Diner. Carolyn walks behind him as she carries two plates and Freddy carries a tub as he walks by in the background

5. Jonathan stands, bundled in a brown coat, looking at a wall covered in Silence = Death posters. Each poster is black, with pink triangle and white text on the bottom reading Silence = Death.

6. Susan twirls in front of a bright pink mural as Jonathan waves his hands and then runs up to her, kissing her.

7. A flock of birds fly over a park in the city on a cloudy gloomy day.

8. Susan and Jonathan walk through a library. Jonathan twirls suddenly, stopping with his back to a bookshelf as he sings.

9. A shot of Jonathan on stage from behind. He sits on a stool, his back to us. Roger and Karessa sit behind him, closer to the viewer, their backs to us as well. Lights illuminate their sheet music in front of them.

10. A closeup of Jonathan's face, only really seeing his eyes, as he stares intently at something, then turns towards the viewerm

11. Jonathan stands in a doorway leading to the roof. The interior behind him is illuminated in yellow, while the exterior roof around him is a gloomier grey. He talks and shivers animatedly in the doorway.

12. A panning shot of a busy colorful street, moving down the street as the people move.

13. Jonathan and Michael walk down the sidewalk, looking at each other as they talk.

14. Jonathan sits at his desk, computer on. He slumps back, one foot propped on something and an arm resting on that leg as his hand holds his head.

Jesse Lamont Martin (January 18, 1969) is an actor and singer. He originated the role of Tom Collins on Broadway in the musical Rent and as NYPD Detective Ed Green on Law & Order and Captain Joe West on The Flash. He toured the states with The Acting Company. He appeared in Shakespeare's Rock-in-Roles at the Actors Theatre of Louisville and The Butcher's Daughter at the Cleveland Play House and returned to Manhattan to perform in local theatre, soap operas, and commercials. Finding that auditions, regional theater, and bit parts were no way to support himself, he waited tables at several restaurants around the city. He was serving a pizza when his appearance on Guiding Light aired in the same eatery. He made his Broadway debut in Timon of Athens, and then performed in The Government Inspector. While employed at the Moondance Diner, he met the playwright Jonathan Larson. Larson's musical Rent took the theatre world by storm, with him in the role of gay computer geek/philosophy professor Tom Collins. The update of Bohème earned six Drama Desk Awards, five Obie Awards, four Tony Awards, and the Pulitzer Prize. The West End production of Rent opened with four of the original cast members, including Martin. He played Tad in the concept album of Bright Lights, Big City. He returned to the stage for one of his biggest theater commitments since Law & Order, performing in the productions of The Merchant of Venice and The Winter's Tale as a part of The Public Theater's Shakespeare in the Park. He played the roles of Gratiano and King Polixenes, respectively. The two shows were performed in repertory. The Merchant of Venice later transferred to Broadway to the Broadhurst Theater for a limited engagement, in which he reprised his role as Gratiano. He took part in a one-night-only reading benefit of Romeo and Juliet to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Delacorte Theater in Central Park. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence https://www.instagram.com/p/CnjmxtCLQ8y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Moondance diner in Spider-Man (2002) and Tick, Tick… Boom! (2021)

[fandomnerd9602]

The scene with Quentin Beck saying that Peter Parker is Spiderman but Quentin's brother cutting the signal before he said that because he is in love with Petra Parker

Quentin Beck’s feed is cutting in and out…

Beck: Spider Girl’s name is- (cuts)

Petra stares in pure shock…

Beck: Spider Girl’s name is P-(cuts out)

Petra: oh my gosh that was a close one. Thanks Y/N!

Y/N, Mysterio, offers a salute to Petra and surfs away from the scene on a drone…

Y/N: (thinks) someday I hope you’ll trust me enough. Ah heck…I wish I could take you out for a burger and shake at Moondance Diner
