Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Jonathan Larson’s Rent is the pop cultural phenomenon that has resonated with audiences since it premiered. Set in New York’s Lower East Side, we follow a year in the life of a group of impoverished young artists struggling to survive and create under the shadow of economic displacement and the AIDS crisis. How these young bohemians negotiate their dreams, loves, and conflicts is an exuberant, tragic, and joyous journey in one of the most beloved pop musicals of all time!
