# Jonathan Larson and the Creation of the Musical Rent, 1995-1996

In a lecture co-presented with the American Musicological Society, Alex Bádue discussed his research on Jonathan Larson's Rent, based on lyric sketches, letters and scripts held in the Library's Jonathan Larson Collection. Bádue focused on the final year of the composition process, from January 1995 to January 1996, and established a timeline that included major events in the making of the musical that have not yet been accounted for in the historiography of Rent and its original production.
