Vanessa Hudgens Will Sing Alongside Andrew Garfield in Netflix's Tick, Tick... Boom!

The Under the Silver Lake star is taking on the lead role of Jon, an aspiring theatre composer who waits tables in 1990s NYC while penning what he hopes will be the next great American musical, titled Superbia. While doing so, Jon faces pressure and criticism from both his girlfriend Susan and his best friend Michael, eventually coming to realise the cost of his dreams might not be worth the struggle.

Shipp, who recently played a young Storm in the rebooted X-Men franchise, is playing Jon's girlfriend, Susan. Despite loving him, she finds it difficult to support his career aspirations since they require her to put her own life on hold.

After playing Maureen in Rent Live! earlier this year, as well as her breakout role in the High School Musical franchise, Hudgens has more than proved she has the vocal chops to be in a movie musical.

It's not clear who the Tony nominee is playing in the film, but we'll bet it's Michael, Jon's roommate who's given up on his own creative dreams in favour of taking a high-paying advertising gig in the city.
