In honor of the 25th anniversary of the musical that defined a generation—and forever changed musical theater—"RENT" is touring the country, once again bringing Jonathan Larson's message of love, acceptance, empathy, and individuality from coast to coast. Sadly, however, this tour is allegedly the "farewell tour." Let's just hope that Cher and "RENT" share the same definition of "farewell." This is about as close as it gets to essential viewing, both for those who have never seen "RENT" before and also for those, like Jonathan Larson's sister, Julie, who have seen it so many times they've lost count. The tragedy of "RENT" has always been that Jonathan never got to see how the world responded to his masterpiece: he died of an aneurysm on the day that "RENT" began previews off-Broadway. An Emmy-nominated producer in her own right, Julie Larson has always been "RENT's" biggest fan, and she has worked tirelessly to keep it and Jonathan's light in the world. EDGE chats with Julie about all things "RENT," plus the upcoming film "tick...tick...BOOM!," based on Larsen's 2001 off-Broadway musical from 2001, that premieres on Netflix this November.
