Why see Rent?
RENT hits the in , ,
An all-new staging of Jonathan Larson's Rent, featuring a talented cast of young, local performers.
This musical is based on Puccini's opera La Boheme, which portrays a group of poverty-stricken artists living unconventional (or "Bohemian") lives in the attics of 19th-Century Paris; the opera's young lovers are tragically separated when one dies of the ubiquitous Victorian plague, tuberculosis. Rent, on the other hand, is set in late 20th Century New York; its characters are young filmmakers, songwriters, street musicians, and performance artists who live in an industrial loft. They struggle with romantic relationships, creative blocks, rent payments, drug addiction, and with the new plague called AIDS.

Rent
The performance was overall awesome! Mark, Angel, Collins, Maurine, and Joanne were that stars of the show. Mimi was a huge disappointment in every aspect, and roger was a bit over the top with his acting and got a little screamy when he sings. The show its self was just like the movie and the production was breath taking!!!! I have been such a huge fan and that was a huge highlight in my life was being able to see it on broadway! I loved it!!!! ... Read more

GREAT PRODUCTION!
Being a NY native, I was fortunate enough to see this wonderful show on
Broadway, followed by every tour through Denver. When the movie came
out, I felt it raised the bar a bit, with most of the original cast and a
performance off a stage. These wonderful actors had some big shoes to fill.
They succeeded! Cast beautifully, each character bought a slightly different
sound to their role. This was fine, but there were times, I was wanting to
hear the song sung the way I remembered. Of course, I also wanted to sing
the entire show out loud, which would probably have been fine in NY. I
thoroughly enjoyed each performer even though they were not the original
Angel, Maureen, Mark, Joanne, Tom..... I'm not sure if the stage size has
changed, but this set felt cramped. Of course compared to the movie yes,
but this was the only aspect of the performance that I felt hindered the
production. ABSOLUTELY, go see this show! ... Read more

17 years in the making
I have loved Rent ever since I was introduced to it in the early 00’s. I see people complaining about singing, chemistry etc. I have to say I did not see any of those issues. The singing was dynamic, the portrayals were believable. I sang along the whole show but at times became so wrapped up in the performance I forgot to sing. I would recommend seeing this tour to anyone that loves Rent but would also recommend investing in Kleenex when you go. ... Read more
