RENT: The Musical LIVE!
MUSIC & SCRIPT by:
Jonathan Larson
Special Arrangements granted by Musical Theatre International (MTI)
Jonathan Larson's Pulitzer-prize winning Broadway musical based loosely
on Puccini's opera La Bohème. It follows a year in the lives of seven
friends living the disappearing Bohemian lifestyle in New York's East
Village. AIDS and both its physical and emotional complications pervade
the lives of Roger, Mimi, Tom, and Angel; Maureen deals with her
chronic infidelity through performance art; her partner, Joanne,
wonders if their relationship is worth the trouble; Benjamin has sold
out his Bohemian ideals in exchange for a hefty income and is on the
outs with his former friends; and Mark, an aspiring filmmaker, feels
like an outsider to life in general, always behind the camera recording
the events but never playing a part.
