A great example that demonstrates on how it incorporate that theme is the first song that they perform, which the name of the song is Seasons of Love- Rent. As soon as the curtains open, they start singing this song and this song mostly talks about the amount of minutes that equal one year. Which are 525,600 minutes, with that being said, throughout the song they state that within those minutes how is one individual going to measure it in love.
