by If you want instant proof of SuperGenius, listen to the new movie soundtrack version of “Seasons of Love” from Rent. You will know in less than three minutes how much we in the theatre all miss Jonathan Larson’s vision and talent and the life that was shucked from him at the age of 36 because of an undiagnosed aortic aneurysm.
Some believe he died of Marfan Syndrome. We all believe the gifts he left behind are evergreen and not enough.
I can’t wait for it to be released, though I hope it’s not over-done with Hollywood glamour and glitz, and kept true to the stage version.
Excellent comment, A.W.! I, too, hope the movie version is gritty and real.
