HIstory of Rent

I was interested to find out that the play RENT has parts based off of the lives of the people that wrote it and created it. It seems like it's a very pivotal musical play because of everything that went into it like the new music, the director, and producer. With out this play many directors might not have started looking more to musical plays instead of normal nothing but acting plays. This play was also a major success it won many awards and has made probably millions of dollars. I think this is a very pivotal Broadway Production.
