In the late 1980s a young composer by the name of Jonathan Larson began a collaboration on what would become one of the greatest musicals of all time.
While waiting tables to support himself, Larson was hard at work on a musical—a rock opera—he would title Rent. Inspired by Giacomo Puccini’s 1896 opera La Boheme, Larson took motivation from his own surroundings setting the story in New York City’s East Village—Alphabet City.
