Critics have called Rent “the best thing that has happened to the Broadway musical in a long time,” and have said that Rent “justifies every bit of attention that has been lavished on this phenomenal musical.” “It shimmers with hope for the future of the American musical.” The New York Times.
Set in the East Village of New York City, Rent is about being young and learning to survive, falling in love, finding your voice and living for today. Rent has made a lasting mark on Broadway with songs that rock and a story that really resonates. Whether it's your 1st time or your 100th time, the time is now for Rent!
The show received its world premiere off-Broadway at New York Theatre Workshop on February 13, 1996 to ecstatic reviews. It rapidly became a sold-out hit. The show transferred to Broadway on April 29, 1996 where it continues to play at The Nederlander Theatre. Rent is now the 7th longest running show in Broadway history.
The success of Rent is always tempered by the death of its creator, Jonathan Larson. Larson died unexpectedly of an aortic aneurysm on the morning of January 25, 1996, just hours after Rent’s final dress rehearsal off-Broadway, and ten days before his 36th birthday.
Rent features musical direction by Tim Weil, choreography by Marlies Yearby, set design by Paul Clay, costume design by Angela Wendt and lighting design by Blake Burba.
Tickets for the performance may be purchased at the Juanita K. Hammons Hall box office, Missouri State TIX or by phone at 417.836.7678. Tickets are priced at: $44.00 and $38.00
