RENT
Book, Music, and Lyrics by Jonathan Larson
Based loosely on Puccini's La Boheme, Jonathan Larson's Rent follows a year in the life of a group of impoverished young artists and musicians struggling to survive and create in New York's Lower East Side. Battling poverty, love, addiction, and loss, this unforgettable show is a powerful tribute to friendship, resilience, and living without regret. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Rent has become a pop cultural phenomenon, with songs that rock and a story that shaped a generation of audiences and taught us all to measure our life in love.
