Opening in Broadway in April 1996, Rent is set in New York’s Bohemian East Village and tells the story of several young “Bohemians” living in the late 1980’s and dealing with AIDS. Following the lives of eight young people over the course of a year, Rent deals with love, death, betrayal, courage, despair, and hope. Sadly, Jonathan Larson did not live to see the success of the musical, dying shortly its off-Broadway debut.
In 2005, Rent was adapted into a motion picture directed by Chris Columbus (of Harry Potter fame) and starred most of the original Broadway cast, including Adam Pascal (Roger), Jesse L. Martin (Collins), and Idina Menzel (Maureen). The movie also starred Rosario Dawson as Mimi.
