Set in the East Village of New York City, <i><span style="font-style:italic">RENT
</span></i>is about falling in love, finding your voice and living for today. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Rent has become a pop cultural phenomenon with songs that rock and a story that resonates with audiences
of all ages.<br>
<br>
Based loosely on Puccini's <i><span style="font-style:italic">La Boheme</span></i>, Jonathan Larson's
<i><span style="font-style:italic">RENT</span></i> follows a year in the life of a group of impoverished young artists and musicians struggling to survive and create in New York's Lower East Side, under the shadow of HIV/AIDS. The physical and emotional complications
of the disease pervade the lives of Roger, Mimi, Tom, and Angel.. How these young bohemians negotiate their dreams, loves, and conflicts provides the narrative thread to this groundbreaking musical.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
