The groundbreaking rock musical you love is reimagined at Actor’s Express this summer!

SYNOPSIS

Rent is the groundbreaking musical that makes us all want to live “La Vie Boheme.” Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Actor’s Express presents Jonathan Larson’s explosive adaptation of Puccini’s La Boheme in a pulsing, reimagined new production like nothing you’ve seen before. From “One Song Glory” to the iconic “Seasons of Love, “the music of Rent will transport you back to the East Village, where life is full of possibilities for those who are young, idealistic and unafraid.

“RENT IS THE BEST SHOW IN YEARS, IF NOT DECADES.”

– Variety

"[AN] EXTRAORDINARY SPIRIT OF HOPEFUL DEFIANCE AND HUMANITY.”

– The New York Times

“PASSIONATE, EXUBERANT, UPLIFTING, AND JOYOUS.”
