Rent Tickets
If there is one single show which can truthfully be credited with bringing a considerably younger generation of audiences to Broadway then it is definitely Jonathan Larson's masterpiece called Rent. Based on Giacomo Puccini's opera La boheme which tells the tale of a group of young, over worked and under paid, malnutrition artists who struggle to survive one of the brutal most living environments in New York City, the Lower East Side and their lives are haunted by AIDS. Have himself lived in the harsh neighborhood, Larson was intrigued by the idea of portraying the lives of these artists in a never seen before light and to present another perspective about the misunderstood artists.
Not many were impressed by Larson's idea of bringing La boheme to Broadway because they saw nothing intriguing about the truthful depiction of struggling artists wasting away their lives. This was the prime reason why it was released on a limited scale in 1994 as an only 3 week Workshop production. It opened at the New York Theater Workshop that very year. But the overwhelming response which met the show brought everybody wrong and the show finally made it to Broadway and then made it big. The show ran for over 12 years and was immensely popular till it shut down in 2008 after a stellar 5000 plus performances and with that making it the 7th longest running show on Broadway ever. It generated total revenue of $280 million which is astounding.
The story begins on Christmas Eve, when a filmmaker Mark Cohen is working in his attic which he shares with Roger Davis who is also his best friend. Roger is a recovering addict and is HIV positive. Mark begins filming and the first tune begins. The performance is only interrupted by a phone call from Mark's mother who inquires about his son's ex-girlfriend Maureen who left him to be with another woman. At this point a friend, Tim Collins arrives but he is too injured and weak but before he enters the attic, Mark receives a call from Benny, who bought their apartment building as well as the one next door since he married into a rich family. He is asking for rent, which is followed up by the Rent performance. The story continues to share the tale of the difficult lives of these struggling artists who are uncertain about their fate.
Rent has been an all out success in every sense of the word. They show has made over 5124 highly successful performances all over the world and received positive reviews from some of the toughest Broadway show critics. The show also made it to West End and toured United Kingdom as well as United States in 1996 and then again in 2009, the US National Tour which is currently underway. Other than that, the show has toured Australia and Buenos Aires.
It has won several awards including the much coveted Pulitzer Prize for Drama and 3 Tony Awards including a Tony Award for Best Musical along with Drama Desk Outstanding Musical Award. And so for all these reasons, get your Rent tickets pronto for a show of your life time!
