Angel Dumott Schunard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Angel is a character in the award-winning rock opera RENT. Wilson Jermaine Heredia won a Tony award for originating this role.
Angel is a drag queen and a street musician. He is also the lover of Collins. Angel, like Collins, has AIDS. Angel is noted for being the member of the Bohemian group that most believes in the mantra of "no day but today." He does his best to give as much as he can to everyone with less than he, and is a compassionate, kind-hearted person. During the second act of RENT, Angel dies from AIDS. His funeral is embodied in the song "I'll Cover You (Reprise)".
Angel dresses up as Pussy Galore for New Years, and used to be a boy-scout and a brownie "until some brat got scared". He is usually played by a Hispanic or Latino actor.
