La Vie Boheme!

Jonathan Larson's iconic Pulitzer Prize-winning musical showcases a year in the life of a group of impoverished, artistic friends living in Manhattan's East Village: Aspiring filmmaker Mark, musician Roger, free-spirited Mimi and Angel, buttoned-up Joanne, and wild-child performance artist Maureen. Their dreams, losses, and loves weave through this bohemian portrait of 1980s New York City, under the shadow of HIV and AIDS.
