The Story of "Rent"
"Rent" is a powerful and poignant story set in New York City’s East Village during the late
1980s and early 1990s. The musical follows a group of young artists and friends as they navigate the complexities of life, love, and survival. Facing the challenges of poverty, addiction, and the looming threat of HIV/AIDS, these characters find strength and inspiration in their community and their art.
At its core, "Rent" is a celebration of love and resilience. It explores the bonds that form between people in the face of adversity and the courage it takes to live life authentically, despite the obstacles.
