Now in its 30th anniversary year, the musical phenomenon RENT is still celebrated globally for its resonating storyline and iconic songs like “Seasons of Love”. Follow a year in the life of a group of young artists struggling to survive and find joy in New York’s Alphabet City, in this riveting and emotional tale of love, hope, conflict, and community. Viva la vie bohème and join us for a timeless Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning rock opera, with themes as relevant today as when it first electrified Broadway audiences.
