The musical is based on Puccini's "La Boheme," a story of the lives and loves of starving artists in 19th-century Paris. To create his Tony- and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical "Rent," Jonathan Larson relocated the action to New York's Alphabet City in the early 1990s, and peopled it with gay, bisexual, lesbian and transgender artists and musicians who struggle for survival during the AIDS epidemic.
