A passionate, musically-driven rock opera about bohemian artists confronting love, loss, and mortality in the shadow of the AIDS crisis, balancing raw emotional vulnerability with defiant joy.

Set in New York City's gritty East Village, the revolutionary rock opera RENT tells the story of a group of bohemians struggling to live and pay their rent. "Measuring their lives in love," these starving artists strive for success and acceptance while enduring the obstacles of poverty, illness and the AIDS epidemic.
