RENT Comes To Short North Stage October 6th
Generation-defining musical to open Oct. 6

No day but today! Rent is the landmark, groundbreaking rock musical that defined a generation and Short North Stage is staging an exciting new production for Columbus audiences.
In the East Village of New York City we follow an unlikely group of bohemians as they struggle with gentrification, love, loss and legacies amidst the HIV/AIDS crisis. Winner of the Tony Award® and the Pulitzer Prize, Jonathan Larson's songs like "Seasons of Love," "One Song Glory," and "I'll Cover You," allows the characters and audiences to embrace hope, find strength and survive. You won't want to miss Larson's phenomenon that redefined musical theater and is just as poignant today.
