Rent is a groundbreaking musical based loosely on Puccini’s La Bohème, about falling in love, finding your voice, and living for today. Winner of the Tony® for Best Musical – and one of only 10 musicals ever to win the Pulitzer Prize for Drama – Rent has become a cultural phenomenon, with songs that rock and a story that resonates. It follows “525,600 minutes” (one year) in the life of a group of impoverished youths struggling to survive and create in New York’s Lower East Side, under the shadow of AIDS. How they pursue their dreams provides a narrative thread that is at once exuberant, passionate, and joyous.
