RENT
Music Theatre International praises RENT School Edition as, “exuberant, passionate, and joyous.” Awarded the Tony for Best Musical in 1996, RENT unfolds in the East Village of New York City, loosely based on Puccini's opera, La Boheme. RENT School Edition follows a year in the life of a group of impoverished young artists and musicians struggling to survive in New York's Lower East Side. With the complications of HIV and AIDS as the backdrop, how these young bohemians negotiate their dreams, loves, and conflicts provides the narrative thread to this groundbreaking musical. While the School Edition adaptation softens the content and delivery of adult themes, this production may not be appropriate for younger audiences.
