RENT: DOWNTOWN LA takes place in a warehouse in industrial downtown Los Angeles, where an artistic renaissance is underway in the vein of 1990s Alphabet City.

The musical numbers will be the same, but we're adding our own special West Coast touch to everything else: beverages will be served to the audience in brown paper bags, local L.A. musicians will provide the live score and when you walk into this warehouse, you will be inside and living the RENT experience.

Set in the East Village of New York’s Alphabet City, RENT is about being young and learning to survive, falling in love, finding your voice and living for today. A theatrical experience unlike any other, RENT forever changed the Broadway landscape, and continues to inspire with its powerful ideas, timeless emotions, and captivating rock score.

North Carolina Theatre Frequently Asked Questions FAQ

North Carolina Theatre is at 1 E South St, Raleigh, NC.

The Theatre debuted with the musical Camelot in May of 1984. It starred Terrence Mann as King Arthur and Sharon Lawrence as Guinevere. Mann, a graduate of the UNC School of the Arts, has played Javert in Les Miserables, The Beast in Beauty and the Beast, Chauvelin in Scarlet Pimpernel and Rum Tum Tugger in Cats on Broadway. Lawrence, a University of North Carolina student, found fame as Sylvia Sipowicz on NYPD Blue, Velma Kelly in Chicago and countless other roles on TV, stage and film. The successful formula of producing top quality musicals with top national performers and local talent was inaugurated. Opening with 825 season tickets sold and a total audience of 24,000, Camelot marked the beginning of the Theatre's new direction. With this new direction as inspiration, the name was changed to North Carolina Theatre.
