RENT Viva La Vie Boheme! The year 2026 will mark the 30th anniversary of Jonathan Larson's iconic Pulitzer Prize-winning musical that shaped a generation of audiences and taught us all to measure our life in love. RENT follows a year in the life of a group of impoverished young artists and musicians struggling to survive and create in New York's Lower East Side in the 1990s. How these young bohemians negotiate their dreams, loves, and conflicts provides the narrative thread to this groundbreaking musical. Rent is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com
