This week we're joined by theater geek and musical theater expert Robin Campbell for long look at the catalyst of every theater kid's grunge phase, 90s musical RENT. You'll hear Part One of our thrilling conversation this week, in which we talk about the origins of the musical and its impact on us as people and artists, before turning our focus on the common pitfalls of portraying HIV/AIDS in popular culture, the intersection of drag and gender, and the real villain of the musical (hint: not Benny.)
