Set in the East Village of 1990s New York City, Rent is about falling in love, finding your voice and living for today. 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 powerful story that resonates deeply with audiences. Based loosely on Puccini's La Boheme, Jonathan Larson's musical Rent follows a year in the life of a group of impoverished young artists and musicians struggling to survive and create under the shadow of AIDS. These young bohemians follow their dreams and experience deep love, loss and friendship in this groundbreaking musical.
