When Does the Film "Tick, Tick... BOOM!" (2021) Take Place?

"Tick, Tick... BOOM!" is a historical fiction film musical written by Steven Levenson [adapting "Tick, Tick... BOOM!" (2001) by Jonathan Larson] and released November 12th, 2021. 


It takes place in the year: 

1990 AD 


We know this because part of the second half of the musical's first song "30/90" is the line "10 30 1990! BOOM, you're passé!" The song is about turning 30-years-old as an aspirant creative person and the lyrics refer to this happening at the time of the song which comes right at the beginning of the story.
