Rent

RENT burst onto the scene in 1996, and Broadway was never the same. The visceral rock adaptation of Puccini's La Boheme changed musical theatre both inside and out and created far more than 525,600 superfans. We'll dive into the show's downtown roots, discuss what Jonathan Larson's tragic death meant for the show's development, and examine what the show's success wrought (namely lawsuits). Won't you light our candles and join us for a little Vie Boheme?
