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.
Possibly unecessary disclaimer: This article is, in the spirit of Saturday Night Live, a gentle parody of the SNL Adventures, a semi-regular series written about the fun and excitement involved in going to see a taping of the popular television show, from waiting in the standby line to the show itself. I had the idea for this while we were standing in line waiting to get in to see the Broadway musiclal, Rent. I mean this article to be good clean fun, as it were. With that being said, here is the Rent Adventure Story.
