Jonathan Larson's Pulitizer and Tony Award-winning musical Rent begins previews at off-Broadway's New World Stages.
Written and composed by the late Larson, Rent is the story of friends and artists struggling to make a home in the East Village in the early 1990s. The show transferred from off-Broadway to the Nederlander Theatre where it opened on Broadway on April 29, 1996, winning both the Best Musical Tony Award and the Pulitzer Prize. The original Broadway production closed on September 7, 2008.
