The 1996 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award Winning Best Musical!
Based loosely on Puccini's La Boheme, this rock opera mega-hit follows a
year in the lives and relationships of eight friends. Set in the mid-90's,
the AIDS epidemic has taken root among these struggling "Bohemian artists"
of New York city's East Village. Yes, it will be the same great songs... and
yes, it will be the same great story and characters... but our production
will not be the "same old RENT". This time we are telling the story... the
Elden Street Players' way.
Parents: Contains mature subject matter and themes. Not
appropriate for young audience members.
