  • 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.

  • Live Spectacles, Paratexts, and Ancillary Outlets “Beyond 'The End of the Millennium': RENT, Hamilton, and Digital Transfo
    Live Spectacles, Paratexts, and Ancillary Outlets “Beyond ‘The End of the Millennium’: RENT, Hamilton, and Digital Transformations in Musical Theater Fandom” Jennifer Margret Smith, University of Wisconsin-Madison This past May, Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda released a digital #Ham4Ham in which he sang a song from RENT alongside original RENT cast member Adam Pascal. The video gleefully bridged the gap between two of the biggest modern Broadway hits, both of which were hailed as welcome innovations of the musical form and quickly attracted a young, social justice-minded fanbase as a result of their casting and subject matter. But RENT premiered in 1996, and Hamilton in 2015 – the #Ham4Ham duet, in fact, was a tribute to RENT’s 20th anniversary. Despite their abundant similarities, the temporally-influenced differences in the reception of each of these shows can help us to explore the transformations in online fandom, fan hierarchies, fan-creator interaction, and the significance of liveness to musical theater over the past two decades. RENT was born into the world of Web 1.0. Its official website, siteforrent.com, was one of the first dedicated websites for a Broadway show, and its fandom community was built of hard-to-find mailing lists and message boards with names like “Compulsive Bowlers,” an obscure lyrical reference. Though the show’s immediate success meant that RENT, like Hamilton, was a hard ticket to come by in the early years, the show began offering $20 seats in the first two rows of the theater for every performance on a first-come, first-serve basis.
