Summary

Set in the East Village of New York City in the 1990s, Jonathan Larson’s Tony- and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical follows a group of young artists and musicians struggling to survive and create during the AIDS crisis. Relying on each other, they remind us of the power of chosen family, hope and joy in the face of staggering loss and despair. Featuring a rock score and a La Boheme-inspired book that resonates with audiences of all ages, Rent is an iconic musical that shaped a generation of audiences and taught us all to measure our life in love.
