Other than those in Rent, are there any other musicals that have characters that have HIV or AIDS?

"The Life (though it's unsaid)"

Actually it is said. In the beginning when Jojo is describing how the hookers die, I think he says one of them died of AIDS.

Doesn't Boy From Oz have characters with AIDS, too?

Was it mentioned concerning Michael Bennett in A Class Act? I've forgotten.

Quilt: A Musical Celebration deals with the stories behind the patches on the AIDS Quilt. And yes, Boy From Oz, too.

there was also 'AIDS the musical' (it was produced in Santa Monica in 1990)

If you're looking for plays too (aside from the 'big' ones like angels in america, the normal heart, and as is) two books that are useful are 'The way we live now' and 'Sharing the delirium'
