...that a gritty depiction of inner-city poverty, drug addiction, and the ravages of AIDS would have broad appeal. (Maybe it had something to do with the show’s rockin’ soundtrack and attractive cast of multi-cultural twenty-somethings.)But all of this success was bittersweet, as the show’s writer and composer, Jonathan Larson, died suddenly from an aneurysm shortly before its debut.
