Instead of the original voicemail planned, the scene features Sondheim telling Jonathan Larson (played by Andrew Garfield), “It’s first-rate work and has a future, and so do you. Lin-Manuel said that he wasn't going to turn "down a Sondheim rewrite!" Can I please rewrite what Sondheim says in the voicemail? I’ll record it if you can’t get the actor back.’” ‘I have a feeling you’re going to have a very bright future.’ I would never say that. “But he said, ‘One thing: The last voicemail message to Jon, it sounds a little cliché. “When I screened the movie for Sondheim, he emailed me and said, ‘You treated me very gently and royally, for which I am grateful,’” he recalled. Speaking to The New Yorker, Lin-Manuel said that Sondheim thought the original voicemail written in the script was a little cliché. While Sondheim is portrayed on screen by Bradley Whitford, the real Sondheim did record the voicemail heard in the film. Lin-Manuel Miranda has revealed that Stephen Sondheim actually re-wrote on of the scenes in tick, tick.Boom! that involved him.
