Set in the Big Apple, RENT is a powerful tale all about falling in love, finding your voice … and living for today. Based on Puccini’s beloved opera La Bohème, RENT traverses the rocky terrain of a year with a group of impoverished, artistic friends living in Manhattan’s East Village. Their dreams, losses, and loves weave through this award-winning musical to paint a stunningly raw and emotional portrait of the gritty bohemian world of New York City in the late 1980s, under the shadow of HIV/AIDS.
