Book, Music & Lyrics by Jonathan Larson

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.

Rent is an iconic show about the primal concerns of youth—friendship, love, illness, death—the very concerns of an aging population. Theatre 55 celebrates senior artists by allowing them to reinterpret works like Rent in their own authentic voices.
