Rent, written by Jonathan Larson and directed by Michael Greif,
opened at Broadway's Nederlander Theatre, on April 29, 1996 following a
history making, sold out, extended limited engagement at off-Broadway's
New York Theatre Workshop. The musical went on to win every major best
musical award, including the Tony Award, as well as the Pulitzer Prize
for drama. Rent
became the seventh longest running show in Broadway history in 2006,
surpassing Miss Saigon. With its groundbreaking rock score by Larson
and a story that captured the current of its generation, Rent is
set in New York in the East Village, where a group of artists love and
live La Vie Boheme even under the shadow of poverty, failure, illness
and death. The La Boheme-based
show won the Pultizer and the 1996 Tony Award for Best Musical, as well
as 3 others. Tragically, Larson died a few months before the show
opened.
