Jonathan Larson's Pulitzer-prize winning Broadway musical based  
loosely on Puccini's opera La Bohème. It follows a year in the lives  
of seven friends living the disappearing Bohemian lifestyle in New  
York's East Village. AIDS and both its physical and emotional  
complications pervade the lives of Roger, Mimi, Tom, and Angel;  
Maureen deals with her chronic infidelity through performance art; her  
partner, Joanne, wonders if their relationship is worth the trouble;  
Benjamin has sold out his Bohemian ideals in exchange for a hefty  
income and is on the outs with his former friends; and Mark, an  
aspiring filmmaker, feels like an outsider to life in general, always  
behind the camera recording the events but never playing a part.
