Rent

Slow Burn Theatre Company and the City of Aventura present RENT. One of the longest-running musicals on Broadway, RENT was a runaway smash from opening night, garnering a slew of awards over its 12-year run off- and on Broadway, including a Tony Award for Best Musical. A Pulitzer Prize Award for Drama and Tony Awards for Book of a Musical and Original Score were presented posthumously to composer Jonathan Larson. Set in "Alphabet City" in New York City's East Village, RENT, a rock musical, is loosely based on Puccini's La Boehme and follows a year in the life of a small group of impoverished artists struggling to create music and art, and survive love, friendship and life under the shadow of HIV/AIDS. The wildly popular score, including "Seasons of Love," "La Vie Boehme," "Without You" and "Tango Maureen," draws audiences into the young bohemians' emotional struggles, dreams, conflicts and triumphs.
