It’s difficult to overstate the influence of Jonathan Larson’s groundbreaking 1996 musical RENT on our music and theater culture. Larson re-imagined Puccini’s La Bohème, recasting the story with a diverse group of New York City artists struggling through economic hardship and the AIDS crisis. This 20th anniversary tour of the Pulitzer- and Tony-winner is based on Michael Greif’s original direction, and reassembles some of the original creative team. See it and weep.
