A group of young artists in New York’s East Village struggles to keep creating and stay connected amid poverty and the HIV/AIDS crisis. Over the course of a year, their friendships and romances are tested by illness, ambition, and loss. Jonathan Larson’s rock musical draws inspiration from La bohème.

The friendships felt lived-in, which made the messier parts of the story work. The group numbers had a lovely rough edge. Glad I made time for this one.
Some scenes are more persuasive than others, but the score catches a specific feeling of being young and uncertain. I would be curious to see a different production.
