RENT (Theatre)	comment	A 1994 Rock Opera musical adaptation of Giacomo Puccini's La Bohème, RENT depicts a group of Alphabet City-based impoverished bohemians coping and cooperating in making the most out of whatever life they have left, all under cover of the looming, invisible, inevitable threat that is HIV/AIDS.The cast includes: Mark Cohen: A down-on-his-luck Jewish-American documentarian. He is Maureen's ex-boyfriend and Roger's roommate. Owing to his profession as a filmmaker, Mark serves as a pseudo-narrator at several points of the play, framing scenes and providing explanations before the audience. Roger Davis: A successful-in-a-past-life musician and former drug addict, intent on writing at least one more meaningful piece of music prior to his ever-encroaching death. Prior to the events of the show, he and his girlfriend April were diagnosed with HIV, driving her to commit suicide shortly after. Mimi Marquez: A Hispanic-American exotic dancer and druggie. Like Roger, she's HIV-positive. Trying to pursue a relationship with him, their respective pasts, coupled with their outstanding circumstances, are that which get in the way. She and Angel are best friends. Tom Collins: An HIV-positive philosophy professor described by Mark as a "computer genius, teacher, and vagabond anarchist who ran naked through the Parthenon". A former roommate of Mark and Roger's. He has a sexual relationship with.... Angel Dumott Schunard: A mischievous, HIV-positive street percussionist and Drag Queen who falls in love with Collins. Debate rages over whether Angel is a transgender woman, is just in it for the clothes and persona, or is gender non-binary, even on this very wiki. Maureen Johnson: A free-spirited, flirtatious, high-on-life bisexual performance artist who left Mark for Joanne. Joanne Jefferson: A Harvard-educated lawyer and Maureen's girlfriend. The most straight-laced and straight-faced of the bunch. Benjamin "Benny" Coffin III: Mark, Mimi, and Roger's roommate-turned-landlord, Mimi's ex-boyfriend, and the closest thing to an antagonist this show possesses. He used to be their roommate, until he married a real-estate heiress and "sold out". He has something of a Frenemy relationship with the others, seen as nothing more than yuppie trash and a sell-out.Notable for its revitalization of musical theatre among young people, its ground-breaking portrayal of people with AIDS, and its obsessive fanbase. Also notable for being one of a select number of musicals to win the Pulitzer Prize for drama.Like many stage musicals, RENT would eventually adapted into a feature film. Directed by Chris Columbus, the 2005 adaptation featured most of the original Broadway cast reprising their roles, with the exceptions of Rosario Dawson as Mimi, and Tracie Thoms as Joanne. Unlike the theatre production, it's a period piece, specifically established and set over a year from December 1989 to December 1990, whereas the original musical's time period was intentionally left ambiguous.The original cast would later reunite for a one night 10th Anniversary benefit concert on April 24, 2006.The original Broadway production was a Long Runner, having a healthy twelve-year run from April 29, 1996, to September 7, 2008; the final performance was filmed for home video, and was notable for having Tracie Thoms reprise her film role of Joanne, as well as having Rodney Hicks and Gwen Stewart, two members of the production's original cast at the New York Theatre Workshop, returning to be a part of the closing cast.A live television production, RENT: Live, aired on Fox in January 2019, eleven years since the initial Broadway run ended. Among the cast of this production were Jordan Fisher as Mark, Tinashe as Mimi, Valentina as Angel, Vanessa Hudgens as Maureen, Kiersey Clemons as Joanne, and Keala Settle as the "Seasons of Love" soloist, while some of the original Broadway cast made cameo appearances in the final number. Co-star Brennin Hunt (Roger) broke his ankle during the prior night's dress rehearsal, and there was no understudy prepared to take over from him. Since the show must go on, however, he was still able to perform in modified segments using a wheelchair on the actual night, but the television broadcast consisted mainly of footage from the dress rehearsal until the aforementioned grand finale.The poor reception of the special — including the aforementioned lack of understudies and the resulting lack of live RENT, and how it had to be heavily bowdlerized to make it suitable for broadcast television — resulted in NBC dumping its plans to broadcast a live version of another "mature" musical, Hair, in May, electing to focus more on "family-friendly" works instead.

RENT (Theatre) / int_188668f2	type	Redemption Quest
RENT (Theatre) / int_188668f2	comment	Unfortunately this works against Benny's character. His Redemption Quest scenes in the second act (covering the cost of Angel's funeral and Mimi's stay in rehab, encouraging Roger to get back together with her towards the end of the show) were cut from the film, making him a definitive antagonist, rather than having a complicated relationship with the others while still being their friend. The film arguably suffers for losing this nuance. Though it also removes the bit near the end showing that his wife found out about his infidelity. We also hear that he paid for Mimi's rehab, didn't demand the rent back or cut the power again, and was dialing Mark to ask if they found Mimi.

RENT (Theatre) / int_23473ae7	comment	Adaptation Expansion: Nothing is noted in the musical about how Mark or the others will pay for the post-show party after the one waiter notes that the last time Mark visited, he didn't even have enough to pay for his tea. In the film version, Angel shoves a bunch of money at the waiter, some of what she had left from her hit on Evita. Life Support meets more than once in the movie, whereas in the show they only meet during a single scene. There's even a montage during "Without You" that indicates that several of them have died over the year the movie takes place in. Joanne goes with Mark for his meeting with Buzzline to make sure the terms are fair. She negotiates 3000 per video for him, with a sliding scale bonus. When Mark worries he's selling his soul, Joanne says nonsense, he's getting a living wage.

As a result, Benny and Collins both talk about the Internet somewhat prophetically, since it didn't start becoming mainstream until the mid-'90s. The same is true for Angel referencing Thelma & Louise a year before it was released. Mark's film montage at the end contained a mural painted on a wall for deceased Latin music legend Celia Cruz... more than a decade before her death.

The show's most iconic tune also has almost nothing to do with the narrative outside of the notion of a year of time passing (as it does in Act II). It's mostly a thematic keynote. Some purists were annoyed when it was used as the Act 1 overture for the film instead, but Chris Columbus pointed out — correctly — that its entire point is to set the stage, and that it does so better than any of the show's other songs do.

RENT (Theatre) / int_5679208c	comment	No Bisexuals: Maureen is constantly referred to as a lesbian, though she is actually bisexual, having dated both mend and women and is Mark's ex. Jonathan Larson referred to her as a lesbian in the original script, but he was later corrected by lesbian friends who noted that she wouldn't have dated Mark if she was a lesbian. Most of the characters still refer to her as a lesbian, but that can be chalked up to bisexual identity not being as commonly promoted at the time. Historically, 'lesbian' was often used to refer to women who had relationships with women regardless of whether they also had relations with men.

RENT (Theatre) / int_5a40d6a	type	Adaptation Distillation
RENT (Theatre) / int_5a40d6a	comment	Adaptation Distillation: The film streamlines the story and cuts down extraneous bits, allowing for more focus on the main characters and their friendship. For example: Instead of breaking up multiple times, Roger/Mimi and Joanne/Maureen only break up once, giving the break-ups much more emotional weight. "Contact" is cut; Angel's illness instead is played alongside "Without You", which also shows the depth of Mimi's depression and disease and how she comes to rely more and more on Benny. There is greater emphasis on the group's friendship, as well as the interpersonal relationships between individual characters (Mimi and Angel's friendship, for example, is given more focus). In the original musical, the first act all takes place on Christmas Eve. In the film, the events are split into three nights. "Today 4 U" through "Will I?" take place on Christmas Day (hence the change in the lyric from "Christmas Day" to "New Year's Day" in "Out Tonight"), while Maureen's performance and "La Vie Boheme" take place the night after Christmas. Unfortunately this works against Benny's character. His Redemption Quest scenes in the second act (covering the cost of Angel's funeral and Mimi's stay in rehab, encouraging Roger to get back together with her towards the end of the show) were cut from the film, making him a definitive antagonist, rather than having a complicated relationship with the others while still being their friend. The film arguably suffers for losing this nuance. Though it also removes the bit near the end showing that his wife found out about his infidelity. We also hear that he paid for Mimi's rehab, didn't demand the rent back or cut the power again, and was dialing Mark to ask if they found Mimi. Cutting "Christmas Bells" in the movie removes the implication that Mimi got her AZT on the black market, making it seem as though an exotic dancer living in squalor could somehow afford a drug priced somewhere in the thousands.note In fact, most of the protests and riots during the AIDS crisis were the result of a potential life-saving drug being made too expensive for the people with the illness, who felt that the Reagan administration were simply waiting while sufferers went extinct rather than help them. Somewhat arguable that that was ever the implication. The drug dealer is shown to have baggies of heroin, and in a later scene does provide Mimi with heroin. AZT is never mentioned in direct connection with said drug dealer. Although, it is referenced in "Christmas Bells". In the flea market, the company shouts "AZT!". This can either be a reference to the characters taking their AZT breaks or the vendors are smuggling it. It's unclear but it's there.

"I Should Tell You" is also echoed briefly in "Your Eyes" and in "Goodbye Love" in the sung-conversation between Mark and Roger, right before he says "I'll call." More Roger / Mark subtext, anyone?

It's the persona she adopts for "Light My Candle" and "Out Tonight," but "I Should Tell You" shows her vulnerability and her desire for a trusting relationship with Roger. Then she makes Roger question her loyalty by reconnecting with Benny and ultimately getting back together with him even though he's still married. It's up to the audience whether Roger has a right to be wary of her or if that's just his excuse not to open up to her.

People are going to change, and you may lose your friendships with them in the process. Benny "changes" after he marries Allison and demands rent from his friends, knowing very well he can't pay. After Angel dies, the original group breaks up while calling each other out for their flaws and ignoring Mark and Benny's pleas to stop.

RENT (Theatre) / int_e303d198	comment	Whole-Plot Reference: To La Bohème, of course: Angel's last is name Schaunard, the name of the character she was modeled after. Collins is Collin, Mark is Marcello, Mimi (just guess), etc. They all have jobs roughly equivalent to their operatic counterparts, Mark being a filmmaker while Marcello was a painter, etc. The use of "Musetta's Waltz" (the song Roger keeps playing on his guitar), referenced in the line from "La Vie Boheme A": "And Roger will attempt to write a bittersweet, evocative song ... (Roger plays) ... that doesn't remind us of Musetta's Waltz." The lines "Every single day, I walk down the street, I hear people say 'Baby's so sweet'" in "Take Me or Leave Me" (a fairly direct, if modernized, translation of the first lines of "Quando m'en vo", or Musetta's Waltz). And of course, the akita, Evita. Part of "Christmas Bells," where various vendors shout out their wares to passerby, echoes a similar scenario in the Act II opening of La Bohème. Mark burning his screenplays for heat and Mimi's game with the candle are taken straight from the opera, and the ending is a virtual recreation, with the ending slightly tweaked. Collins' obsession with his stolen coat in Act 1 is likely because his inspiration in La Boheme spent his only aria bemoaning the loss of his coat.

RENT (Theatre) / int_ebb57e1a	comment	Duet Bonding: Mimi and Roger especially, though there are several examples. All in all, there are six or seven, depending on your exact definition: "Light My Candle", "I Should Tell You", and arguably "Another Day" for Mimi and Roger; "You Okay, Honey?" and "I'll Cover You" for Angel and Collins ("Santa Fe" could be considered one, as it does feature Mark and Roger, but is mainly focused on Angel and Collins); "Tango: Maureen" for Mark and Joanne; and "What You Own" for Mark and Roger.

In the theatre version, Mark notes that April slit her wrists in their bathroom, leaving a note saying only, "We've got AIDS." The film isn't quite that explicit.

RENT (Theatre) / int_f33ff01c	type	Adaptational Context Change
RENT (Theatre) / int_f33ff01c	comment	Adaptational Context Change: The film either confirms some implications from the stage show or switches things around for dramatic effect. The events of act one take place over several days instead of just on Christmas Eve, meaning several events occur in the daytime instead of at close to midnight. As a result, Life Support has multiple meetings instead of one session, and several of them disappear over the course of the film as they die. "You'll See" and "Today 4 U" are switched compared to the stage show, meaning that Benny makes his deal only to Mark and Roger rather than the whole group and the main conflict with him is introduced a bit earlier than in the show. It also means that by the time Angel meets the two, she and Collins have already been together for a day rather than less than an hour. "Another Day" originally has the support group singing along in the final chorus, but they're clearly in two different locations - the group meeting spot and the loft. In the film, Collins, Angel, and Mark actually join Mimi on the street, turning the final chorus into a confrontation. At the end of "Will I?", Roger leaves the stage to show that he's finally getting out of the loft, and while it's heavily implied that he went to the Life Support meeting, it's never explained where he actually went before he shows back up in "Christmas Bells". The film confirms this implication by having him leave the loft at the beginning of the song instead of the end, and he makes it to the group in time to sing the final verse. The rework of the plot means that "Santa Fe" takes place in the subway instead of on the street, and, because Roger got out of the loft during "Will I?", he joins in on the song. In the stage version of "La vie Boheme B", Joanne tells the group that a riot has broken out at the lot following Maureen's protest. In the film, the riot breaks out while the group is still there, forcing them to flee the scene and regroup at the cafe. This also means that we actually see Mark recording the riot, whereas in the show it's implied that he went back to the scene and recorded it after the group dinner. Additionally, how the riot starts is tweaked; in the show, Benny calls the cops after the protest and it escalates when the homeless refuse to leave, while in the film, the protestors actually instigate the riot by attacking the police present before it spirals out of control. Roger and Mimi re-join the rest of the cast for "La vie Boheme B" rather than just kissing outside - in fact, their re-entrance kicks off the song. "Take Me or Leave Me" originally only has Maureen and Joanne onstage, as it takes place while they're rehearsing Maureen's latest performance. In the film, it takes place during their engagement party, with the rest of the cast present to watch. In the stage show, Angel technically has two death scenes; while we actually witness her degenerate and die during "Without You", she actually exits the show in "Contact", giving her actor one more chance to go out in a blaze of glory. The film removes "Contact", meaning that Angel's death lacks any of the chaotic energy of the orgy scene and is instead an utterly somber affair where she dies in Collins's arms in a hospital bed. Roger and Mark's argument during "Goodbye Love" switches locations, going from Angel's funeral to the loft. This allows their argument to happen while Roger is packing up for Santa Fe, and he leaves immediately after; Mimi is also waiting outside the door instead of just off to the side, making her overhearing the argument without anyone noticing a bit more plausible. Roger and Benny also get to have one last interaction before he goes, as he leaves town as Benny walks in. "What You Own" in the film ends with Roger and Mark singing to each other on the apartment rooftop, whereas the stage script indicates that while they're singing the same lines, they're not actually in each other's presence. Additionally, it's heavily implied that Mark was going to jump off his apartment rooftop before Roger came back. In both versions of "Finale B", Angel gets to come back into the show, but the ways it happens are different. In the stage show, their actor simply comes back onstage during the ending and rejoins the cast, while in the film, it's done by having Mark's film end with a shot of Angel staring directly at the camera. The original draft of the film's ending was very similar to the stage version, with the narrative intercut with shots of the actors on the "Seasons of Love" set and Angel simply stepping back into her spot, but it was ultimately reworked when it confused test audiences.

In the stage version, it's stated that there is no heat or electricity, so they have an illegal wood-burning stove and an extension cord which is stealing power from elsewhere. Benny promised them a rent-free stay, which he then went back on, sticking them with a year of back-rent.
