"About the wholle Thelma and Loiuse thing...i think that may be more chris columbus. In the show, there is no refernce to the year, you just asume it's late 80's or early 90's, only in the movie is it given 1989-90. So when Jonathan Larson wrote the show, he could have technically written it taking place in 1991...just a thought "
Did you see the same movie I did???
I'm pretty sure I remember him sayin the year in the opening
Anthony says " december 24 9 PM 1989, from here on in...."
