About the Show
RENT is a rock musical that 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. The story begins on Christmas Eve, 1989, following a year in the life of a group of impoverished young artists and activists dealing with poverty, health issues, and social injustice. As the group of friends move through the year, they encounter the breakups of relationships, illnesses, and death but also love, friendship, and hope.
