Con il musical Rent è molto difficile sbagliare tanta è l’emozione che riesce a suscitare ad ogni sua rappresentazione. Rent ha marcato un’epoca, opera quasi unica del compianto Jonathan Larson che perse la vita per un rottura d’aneurisma il giorno della prima generale del suo capolavoro che gli valse due Tony Awards postumi. Il suo universo, stroncato in modo così repentino ha comunque stabilito un punto di rottura tra il musical tradizionale e il musical del “dopo Rent”.

Chance Theater has announced the highly anticipated production of Tick, Tick... Boom!, directed by H. Adam Harris (Boat Show). Running on Cripe Stage from February 1, 2025, through February 23, 2025, with previews beginning January 24, 2025.

Let's toast the New Year by looking ahead to some of the most anticipated shows of the next 6 months. We put together 14 shows we're looking forward to seeing next year, that are likely to sell out well in advance.
