Did Jonathon Larson write the music and the dialogue to the original broadway musical Rent with any help?

Answer 1

The original idea was someone else's - a guy named Billy Aronson, in 1989. He had the idea of updating La Boheme and putting it in NYC. Jonathan Larson was working with him, but he thought up the name of the show and moved the location [within NYC]. In 1991, Larson asked Aronson if he could write the musical on his own. Aronson agreed, and he has since gotten some money from all that Rent has made.

Beyond that, there is one lady that claims she thought up a lot of the ideas, but she went to court [I think] and never got any money.

I suppose other people helped him, but according to Victoria Leacock [Jonathan's best friend and one of the original producers of Rent], Jonathan did it mostly by himself.

Answer 2

stay Broadway shows are literally not recorded for auction of viewing. They do record them for archival purposes. Now that stated there are places you could bypass to work out clips from those who've illegally videotaped shows, i.e slipping in camcorders and such of their coats and hiding them from ushers. You per chance in a position to discover something like that in case you search for the internet
