- Both Jonathan Larson and Lin-Manuel Miranda have served as innovators for new, breakthrough styles of musical theatre. However, Jonathan sadly did not live long enough to see his full impact on the world.

The morning that Rent opened for previews, Larson died unexpectedly from an aortic dissection. He did not have the chance to see his masterpiece sell out on Broadway, win three Tony Awards in 1996, and leave a lasting cultural impact.
