Rent is a rock musical loosely based on the 1896 opera La Bohème by Giacomo Puccini. It tells the story of a group of impoverished young artists struggling to survive and create a life in Lower Manhattan's East Village, in the thriving days of the bohemian culture of Alphabet City, under the shadow of HIV/AIDS.
Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Rent is about falling in love, finding your voice, and living for today.
