Theatre UCF Presents “Rent”: Experience the raw energy and emotional depth of Jonathan Larson’s groundbreaking musical, “Rent”, a rock-infused retelling of “La Bohème” set amidst the HIV/AIDS crisis and the fight against gentrification in New York City’s East Village.
Follow a group of bohemian artists as they navigate love, loss, and legacy while grappling with the harsh realities of their time. With iconic songs like “Seasons of Love,” “One Song Glory,” and “Out Tonight,” Rent defies the flashy conventions of musical theatre, offering a thoughtful and nuanced portrayal of the AIDS crisis. Winner of Best Musical at the 1996 Tony Awards, Rent invites audiences to embrace hope, find strength, and cherish friendship and love.
