From Music Theatre Internationals Site:
"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."

Cast includes: Christina Animashaun, Tyler Beals, Alex Cooke, Scott Gautney, Corey Hennessey, Jaclyn Jones, Tommy Malek, Rachel McIntyre, Patrick Newcomer, Mallorie Ortega, Phil Vannoorbeeck, Krystine Vincent, Susan Wilmes, Rodney Wing, Dan Woolson, and Shannon Ziegler
