Book, Music and Lyrics by Jonathan Larson
JANUARY 15 TO FEBRUARY 1, 2026
Viva La Vie Boheme! Celebrate the 30th anniversary of Jonathan Larson's iconic Pulitzer Prize-winning musical that shaped a generation of audiences and taught us all to measure our life in love. Rent 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. How these young bohemians negotiate their dreams, loves, and conflicts provides the narrative thread to this groundbreaking musical.
Disclaimer: Rent features adult themes, including sex, drug use, suicide, and profanity.
Rent is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI.
