Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot entirely on a custom-built subway car set in New York, with cast recording vocals live on set rather than studio dubbing.
Based on a stage musical that premiered in 2003—this film adaptation took 16 years, making it a fascinating time capsule of pre-gentrification NYC anxiety.
