RENT is a book? I thought it was a musical based on Puccini's La Boheme... and that it had been made into a movie later on.

Sorry. Thatre-geek moment. The first production of RENT was as a musical stage play, and the screen play for the film was written from that a decade or so later. ( The "book" is theater slang for the combined publication of music, lyrics and lines from which the actors learn their parts. I spent some time w/ "the book" in high school, but haven't gotten to see a live production of "the show". ) It is, however, a sort of resetting of La Boheme, hence "Musetta's Waltz" in the score of the show and film, the main character Mimi, etc. _________________ An Infinite Source of Pervy Wisdom. |
