Rent

Seasons of Love

Rent is a rock musical, with music and lyrics by Jonathan Larson loosely based on Giacomo Puccini's opera La bohme. It tells the story of a group of impoverished young artists and musicians struggling to survive and create in New York's Lower East Side in the thriving days of the Bohemian East Village, under the shadow of AIDS. Rent, which won an American Tony Award and a Pulitzer Prize, was one of the first Broadway musicals to feature lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender characters. In addition, its cast was notably ethnically diverse. Rent brought controversial topics to a traditionally conservative medium, and it helped to increase the popularity of musical theater amongst the younger generation. Rent speaks to Generation X the way that the musical Hair spoke to the baby boomers or those who grew up in the 1960s, calling it a rock opera for our time, a Hair for the 90s. It first opened at the New York Theatre Workshop in 1994. On January 26, 1996, Rent opened in New York City off-broadway before moving to Broadway, opening at the Nederlander Theatre on April 29, 1996.The cast album includes both a double-disc complete recording collection with a remixed version of the song Seasons of Love featuring Stevie Wonder land a single-disc best of highlights.Rent has been successful on Broadway, where it had critical acclaim and word-of-mouth popularity. The Original Broadway Cast reunited at the Nederlander Theatre on April 24, 2006, to stage a performance for the rock opera's tenth anniversary. With more than 4,300 performances and still running, it is the seventh-longest-running Broadway show. It became the second-longest-running musical currently on Broadway, eight years behind The Phantom of the Opera, when Beauty and the Beast ended its run on July 29, 2007. On January 16, 2008, it was announced that after a 12 year run, the Broadway production of Rent would be closing on June 1, 2008. In 2005, the rock opera was also adapted into a full-length motion picture, which features most of the original cast members. Certain plot elements were changed slightly and some of the songs were changed to spoken dialogue, so the movie version is more of a musical film than rock opera.
