Rent
See this moving and jubilant rock musical before it closes September 7, 2008!

Rent is the ground-breaking musical phenomenon that truly changed Broadway forever and touched millions. Its breathtaking score and inspirational story have defined an entire generation. And now, this musical theater landmark is coming to the end of its journey. After twelve amazing years at Broadway's Nederlander Theatre, Rent—the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning musical phenomenon—will play its final performance September 7th. There's "No Day But Today" to celebrate Rent one last time with someone you love.
Jonathan Larson's rock musical is the joyous, breathtaking and inspiring story of a group of New York | City East Village artists struggling to find their voices and find love in today's tough times. Based on Giacomo Puccini's classic 1896 opera, La Boheme, Rent boasts a talented and hot young cast singing some of Broadway's most powerful songs, broaching controversial themes like homelessness, AIDS and drug addiction with compassion, and thrilling audiences of all ages with its moving tale of hopes and dreams.
The show burst upon the theater scene after its creator, Larson, died suddenly on the eve of the show's first performance off-Broadway at New York Theatre Workshop in January 1996. The show then opened to raves on Broadway, winning that year's Tony Award for Best Musical and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. New York Times critic Ben Brantley raved that Rent "shimmers with hope for the future of the American musical."
