RENT 20TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR will play at the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center in Appleton from May 11-13. There's no day but today to learn some quick facts about the show.
1. RENT is an innovative show. In its heyday, RENT did a lot of controversial things, like featuring LGBTQ characters and covering topics like AIDS. Plus, RENT is a rock musical that changed the face of Broadway. Lin-Manuel Miranda has even cited it as a source of inspiration for HAMILTON.
2. RENT has won a bevy of awards, including four Tony Awards, six Drama Desk Awards and a Pulitzer Prize.
3. RENT is also popular internationally. It has been performed in 25 languages in about 50 countries.
