This rockin’ musical production has just closed doors on Broadway and is beginning their national tour this January.
The musical was turned into a Chris Columbus film in 2005 and later saw some of the final shows filmed for a special segment
for the 12 ½ years on stage. The show is still just as magical as when it first premiered on stage years ago, so if
you can’t get enough of the 500 hundred 25 thousand 600 minutes of Rent, pick up some Rent
San Diego tickets today!
Rent’s creator was never able to bask in the glory of his play’s success, as the night before its Off-Broadway
premiere, Jonathan Larson died of an aortic aneurysm. Though it took years to create, since its debut it has won dozens
of awards, including several Tonys, the Pulitzer Prize and The Obie. Over the years Rent has toured across the globe, and
is based on the opera La Boheme. Set in modern day New York City’s East Village, Rent follows the lives of friends
struggling to survive.
