The term 'Longtime Broadway Hit' can be summarized as the musical 'RENT', which is a four letter word. 'RENT' is a rock musical written by Jonathan Larson, which premiered on Broadway in 1996. It is based on Giacomo Puccini's opera 'La Bohème' and tells the story of a group of impoverished young artists struggling to survive and create a life in New York City's East Village in the thriving days of Bohemian Alphabet City. The musical won the Tony Award for Best Musical and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It has become one of the longest running musicals in Broadway history.
