I haven't had a chance to watch it all again but at a few points in the program I remember thinking "HUH?". Are there any errors that anyone noticed?

I remember some of the facts were a little dramatized. I remember they said that the reviews for West Side TSory were mixed. If I recall from my book on Broadway musicals from 1939-1960. they said West Side Story got a few raves and many favorables. Maybe my book is incorrect, which I highly doubt.

It said that the last song Rogers and Hammerstein wrote was "Edelwise" and I thought it was the "16 Going on 17 reprise"

I thought Mr. Larson died of some brain tumor or something- they said heart condition. Maybe i got mixed up....

Brain aneurysm, I think. The Rent-heads will know better than me, though.

It was his heart. It was probably due to the fact that Jon most likely had Marfans Syndrome and was never diagnosed...
