Does anyone know a scene from Jonathan Larson's life? Maybe a scene from when they were making rent? It could be funny, sad, anything! Discribe the scene here! Thank you so much!!

I think rice means like an antecdote (sp?) about Jonathan's life.

The "Broadway: The American Musical" DVD had some great Larson segments. Better watched than explained!

EDIT: spelling.

yeah, the DVD of Broadway the American Musical has Jonathan Larson performing a song from TTB.... if that's what you mean?

Look in the RENT bible, too. There's a lot of stuff.

A work of art is an invitation to love.

Yes - the "Sunday" performance from TTB (love it),

but also the RENT segment (in the regular non-bonus programming). There is a whole "roving reporter" type thing following him around the diner on his last day working there because he's leaving to work on RENT...

It's heartwrenching.

yeah, it really is

They should have made their RENT segment longer!
