RENT in Concert on Tour

A full symphonic concert event performed with live cast celebrating Jonathan Larson’s groundbreaking Tony and Pulitzer Prize Award winning musical.

Featuring standout performers Candice Marie Woods (Ain’t Too Proud, The Book of Mormon, Catch Me If You Can, Hairspray), Alex Lugo (Hadestown on Broadway; RENT 20th Anniversary Tour), Terrance Lamont (RENT at The Muny, The Kennedy Center, and Paper Mill Playhouse), and Ben Cherington (National Tours of Les Misérables and Parade)—along with an exciting ensemble of additional rising and established Broadway talents bringing these beloved songs to life in concert.

Set in the East Village of New York City, RENT is about falling in love, finding your voice, and living for today. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Rent has become a pop cultural phenomenon with songs that rock and a story that resonates with audiences of all ages. 

Based loosely on Puccini’s La Boheme, Jonathan Larson’s RENT follows a year in the life of a group of impoverished young artists and musicians struggling to survive and create in New York’s Lower East Side, under the shadow of HIV/AIDS. The physical and emotional complications of the disease pervade the lives of Roger, Mimi, Tom and Angel. Maureen deals with her chronic infidelity through performance art; her partner, Joanne, wonders if their relationship is worth the trouble. Benny has sold out his Bohemian ideals in exchange for a hefty income and is on the outs with his former friends. Mark, an aspiring filmmaker, feels like an outsider to life in general. How these young bohemians negotiate their dreams, loves and conflicts provides the narrative thread to this groundbreaking musical.
