Rent at The Hanover Theatre

In 1996, a new rock musical by a little-known composer opened on Broadway ... and became a Hamilton-like sensation, winning both a Pulitzer Prize and the Tony for Best Musical. Now, more than 20 years later, the late Jonathan Larson's gritty re-imagining of Puccini's La Boheme resonates as loudly as ever with its life-affirming message of joy and hope in the face of fear and despair. RENT follows 525,600 minutes in the lives of seven young artists and musicians as they struggle to create and survive under the shadow of HIV/AIDS on New York City's Lower East Side. This timeless romance and its stirring anthem "Seasons of Love" returns to the stage in a vibrant 20th-anniversary touring production, making a stop at the Hanover Theatre in Worcester.
