Abstract

Rent, by Jonathan Larson, is a groundbreaking rock musical that follows impoverished young artists in New York City's East Village as they navigate love, loss, and the HIV/AIDS epidemic, loosely based on Puccini's La bohème. Larson tragically died the night before its off-Broadway premiere, but the show went on to win a Pulitzer Prize and multiple Tony Awards, redefining musical theater with its contemporary rock score and focus on LGBTQ+ and marginalized communities.
