  • 153 Theater, Memory, and the HIV Crisis of the 1990S: an Analysis of the Musical RENT Jessica Grossman in the Second Act Of
    Theater, Memory, and the HIV Crisis of the 1990s: An Analysis of the Musical RENT Jessica Grossman In the second act of RENT, a main character named Mark proclaims, “Why am I the witness?”1 The outburst, although somewhat dramatic, certainly brings forth the question: not only why, but how are we “the witness”? What are we witnessing, and why is it important to remember? These questions, explored throughout both the plot and external events surrounding RENT, allow for a greater understanding of the ways in which memory is a pervasive motif throughout Jonathan Larson’s 1997 musical. Although it is rarely explicitly addressed, the task of remembering, acknowledging, and memorializing people who were previously absent, silenced, and erased drives the plot of RENT forward perhaps more than the musical numbers. However, the story of RENT’s creation is just as unique as the musical itself. Larson had been working on a reboot of Puccini’s opera La Bohème for years, but after all of his work, the playwright never saw his show come to fruition. Larson died the night of the first performance from a sudden aortic dissection. Essentially, the show became Larson’s legacy. His contemporaries claimed that he would “change the American musical theater,”2 and his rock opera certainly did. RENT was the first musical since Hair (1967) to address drug addiction. It arguably was the first musical to address drug addiction honestly, mostly avoiding the typical pitfalls of romanticizing drug abuse. The show, set in Alphabet City during the 1990s, follows a group of friends as they encounter love, death, disease, and addiction.
