Jonathon Larson

The revolutionary Tony and Pulitzer Prize winning show.

Premièring on Broadway in 1996, Jonathan Larson’s revolutionary rock version of Puccini’s opera La Bohème was a stunning success, winning many prestigious accolades including the Tony Award for Best Musical and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

Larson’s moving score portrays a group of impoverished artists, addicts and lovers maintaining a precarious existence in New York’s East Village, under the ever-present shadow of AIDS. As relevant now as it was then, RENT creates a time capsule of a world in which these young Bohemians find hope and joy in the darkest depths of despair, and strive to find the salvation of love even in the face of tragedy.
