RENT

RENT
June 4-20


RENT is one of the most popular musicals in theatre history. With a twelve-year run on Broadway, the show is an update of the Puccini's LA BOHEME, but takes place in late 20th century New York. The gritty subject material and powerful songs of Jonathon Larson combines to make the show a new icon of modern musical theater. Larson set out to transform the tragic opera into a modern day New York setting, complete with rock music. Adding to the legend of the show is the tragic death of Larson at age 35 the day before the show's New York opening.


In 1996, the Broadway community would award Rent four Tony Awards, for Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, Best Original Score, and Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Musical. RENT also received the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, only the seventh musical to do so.

 

The musical was so successful in it's life onstage, that it was made into a movie in 2005 and was an instant hit all over again!

 

This IS America's favorite musical! Now is your chance to experience it live!
