I think it's beautiful that Sondheim made a point to listen to everything Larson sent him......even when Larson wasn't famous and had nothing else to offer him. Just shows the power of mentors. It's too bad not all of the people we look up to can do that for us.
Without Jonathan Larson we wouldn't have Hamilton, or The Greatest Showman.
I just looked and Nan died in 2019. Mother and son together again. Rest in peace to them both. Also, thank you Jonathan for rent and thank you Nan, Al, and Julie for continuing the legacy
I remember watching this documentary on the RENT dvd a million times when I bought it as a teenager. Seeing Tick, Tick, Boom coming full circle has been an amazing experience! Andrew & Lin deserve all the awards.
And it was RENT that inspired Lin Manuel Miranda to write musical theater… so like- the cycle of beautiful creative influence goes on.
So wonderful to see this after Tik.. Tik... Boom! What a legend.
Jonathan will never know how much of an impact he had on me and so many others. I still get chills when listening the songs of RENT and feel like in many ways he grabs my heart and allows me to remember my brother and many others who have died of AIDS. Just watching RENT both on Broadway and the movie, I always tear up or cry. RENT is a true gift.
good thing ive watched tick, tick...boom! on netflix which has brought me here. his life and lyrics and loftiness are just insanely inspiring!
When my 18 year old was a baby, the only way she let me comb her hair was if I played Season's of Love on a loop. She is now 18, and Rent is still her favorite musical next Hamilton. She just watched Tick Tick Boom. She just burst in my room screaming and crying..."WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME JONATHAN LARSON DIED".
25 years on from his painful passing and the musical he created is still a huge hit - to this very day. I found this very moving and wonderful to watch. Thank you Jonathan Larson for creating such an inspiring musical.
Those opening bars of “Seasons of Love” never fail to bring tears to my eyes.
Thank you Jonathan Larson. This show is still striking a chord during the COVID pandemic.
It is very ironic how his friend Michael in the show and O Grady in real life, found out he had AIDS at the time he was creating tick tick boom and later on started creating RENT, and how he felt he was probably gonna die soon like many of their friends because of the AIDS epidemic while, in the end, he was the one who died at 35 years old while his friend still lives to this day luckily. Never take a day for granted regardless of your circumstances. Fly high Johnny RIP
Sometimes UA-cam recommendations get it right. Can’t believe I’d never seen this before. Beautiful tribute to Jonathan Larson...Weird to think he’d be older than my parents if he was alive today. I’m sure he would’ve written many, many great shows. What a loss
When I started watching this, I had no idea it was a 2 hour documentary. It was 11pm when I started. But this story is so compelling I was transfixed and watched straight through. Thank you for sharing this, and thank you Jonathan Larson.
I've watched this doc several times over all these years but watching it now and hearing Marin Mazzie talk about her dead friend now when she's dead too is extra heartbreaking
Jonathan Larson… a cisgendered, straight white man who had such respect and compassion for the lgbt community… bless his heart!
When Jesse said when he sang I'll Cover You Reprise it was for Angel but he was singing it to Jonathan I just started bursting into tears :(
I'm too young to have witnessed the cultural craze that Rent spawned in the 90s, however, I remember first stumbling upon rent on HBO. I must have been around 14 or 15, the movie adaptation was on, I was zapping channels and was immediately captivated. The costumes, the choreography, the songs everything was enthralling. I learned all the songs, I desperately wanted to play Mimi and Rent instantly became my favorite musical. All the while I never knew about Jonathan Larson's tragic story or of his passing and for many years after first discovering Rent I'm ashamed to admit I never bothered researching Jonathan or his other work. When I finally learned about what happened I felt incredibly sad but I also knew that it wasn't Jonathan's death that drew me to Rent, the show is brilliant and stands on its own two legs. Had he continued on living the show would have still been the phenomenon it is today. So yes, thank you Jonathan Larson for creating a masterpiece <3
Jonathan was a powerhouse. I almost feel like I know him. He will truly be missed.
