Rent Tickets Information
Rent tickets have become responsible for so many life-changing moments, personal epiphanies, and romantic reconciliations that it's no wonder this rock 'n roll masterpiece swept up Drama Critics awards, Outer Critics Circle awards, Obie awards, 4 Tony awards (including "Best Score", "Best Book", and "Best Musical"), and 6 Drama Desk Awards (including "Best Book", "Best Score", "Best Lyrics", and "Best Musical"). And it's no wonder that Rent tickets are celebrating their 11th year in circulation.

After a tragic pre-opening, when the show's creator Jonathan Larson died unexpectedly of a sudden aneurysm, the cast and crew honored him duly by giving Rent tickets holders the performance of a lifetime, and ever since, Rent has rocked the rafters of sold out houses from Broadway to London and beyond.

It's fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled, and jam-packed with more laughter and tears than you ever thought possible in a span of 2 hours 45 minutes. The story your Rent tickets will take you to see is that of a group of young bohemian artists living in the East Village of New York, strug gling to save their home and stave off disillusionment as they find a place for themselves, and a voice to be heard, in a chaotic world increasin gly cut off from itself.

Covering a span of two years in the lives of these restless rejects of the dominant paradigm, the Rent musical confronts issues of homelessness, homosexuality (and bisexuality), AIDS, drug abuse, corporate politics, pop culture, and the overall degradation of society and humanity with compassionate humor, scathing wit, and above all a positive attitude and a hopeful outlook.

And in case we ne glected to mention it yet, the Rent musical is nothing if not a love story too - a trio of love stories at that, each one as true and flawed and noble as the most fabled love stories in history.

With memorable songs like "La Vie Boheme", "I'll Cover You", "One Song Glory", "Today 4 U", "The Tango Maureen", "Santa Fe", "Light My Candle", "Take Me Or Leave Me" and of course the spirited title number as well as the soaring and passionately inspirational "Seasons of Love", the Rent Broadway musical soundtrack is one of those that finds a permanent and prominent home in any music lover's collection.

Besides D'Monroe ("Jesus Christ Superstar", "Saturday Night Fever") as Benny, and Nicole Lewis "Lennon") as Joanne, most of the major characters in the current incarnation of the Rent musical are being played by actors new to the Broadway stage - Justin Johnston, Jaime Lee Kirchner, Destan Owens, Tim Howar, and Christopher J. Hanke adding a freshness, whimsicality, vibrancy, and vitality that can only come from such unfettered youth.

Made later into a Hollywood movie (starring most of the original Broadway cast, as luck would have it), there is still nothing quite like experiencing live the trials and tribulations of the impassioned character in the Rent musical, belting out their sorrow and jubilation right there in the same room with you. Buying Rent tickets is like paying rent for two full years of seasons of love, all packed into a sin gle night.

The Rent musical is playing at the Nederlander Theatre. Rent tickets are currently on sale through March, 2007.
