Tim Weil, the original music director of RENT, will be in to sign his new book, "Making Rent".

30 years after Rent, Jonathan Larson’s groundbreaking rock opera, opened on Broadway, you would be hard-pressed to find a musical theater fan who doesn’t know at least some of the show’s iconic tunes by heart. “Take Me or Leave Me,” “La Vie Boheme,” and the ubiquitous “Seasons of Love” revolutionized the kind of music heard on Broadway. Much of the impact comes from the show’s musical style, a singular blend of grunge rock, power pop, gospel, and R&B that was brought to life by the show’s onstage band, headed by the legendary musical director Tim Weil. Tim Weil is a musical director, composer, arranger, and orchestrator who has worked on more than 100 productions in New York City and around the world, including Rent, Shrek the Musical, Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill, and Sally Marr . . . and Her Escorts.
