Rent's Gone, But Will It Endure Like Its Inspiration?
The smash-hit Broadway production of Rent officially plays its last performance this weekend, but the show, which was based on Puccini's La Boheme, has a chance to live on just as the opera has. "Just as Puccini's opera would fall flat were the music not so impassioned and savvy, Rent would not be so powerful if Mr. Larson's score were not so rich and emotionally honest."
