WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Rent returns to NYC in a new production directed by Michael Greif who directed the show's original off-Broadway and Broadway productions.
Set in the East Village of New York City, Rent is about being young and learning to survive in NYC. It's about falling in love, finding your voice and living for today. Winner of the Tony Award® for Best Musical and the Pulitzer Prize, Rent has made a lasting mark on Broadway with songs that rock and a story that really resonates.

Not good at all!!

Set in the early 1990s, the musical is inspired by Puccini's La Boheme, and chronicles a year in the life of a group of friends living in the East Village during the height of the AIDS epidemic. Larson's pop-rock score continues to delight, and is mostly sung well by the ensemble cast.
