RENT

Winner of the 1996 Tony Award for Best Musical and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama!

“An exhilarating, landmark rock opera…with a glittering, inventive score.” – The New York Times

“What is unique about RENT is not only the drastically innovative musical score and risk-taking, defiant story…but Jonathan Larson’s message, which is not one of sadness and loss, but of celebration and hope." – WBRU News

The revolutionary pop-rock opera that electrified a whole generation of theatergoers, Rent tells the story of seven friends in the AIDS-ravaged New York City of the 1990s. Three couples—Roger and Mimi, Tom and Angel, Maureen and Joanne—and their friend Mark try to support themselves and celebrate their lives in spite of the crises that confront them, from shifting romantic entanglements to preserving their artistic integrity to the life-and-death struggle with a disease that is threatening almost everyone they know.

Contains mature themes and strong language.
