Jonathan Larson’s seminal musical Rent celebrated its 25th anniversary earlier this week, having played its first performance at New York Theatre Workshop January 25, 1996.

Larson died early that morning after suffering an aortic dissection, though his legacy lived on as the show transferred to Broadway and earned four Tony Awards (including two posthumous wins for Larson), plus the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
