Rent, landmark Pulitzer Prize-winning rock musical created by composer Jonathan Larson and recognized for raising national awareness of issues related to poverty, addiction, gentrification, and the AIDS epidemic. Inspired by Giacomo Puccini’s La Bohème (1896), a classic opera depicting the tragic romance of bohemian youths in Paris, Rent celebrates the lives of a group of young, racially diverse, LGBTQ artists and activists—in a way that was rare on Broadway at the time—in the Alphabet City neighborhood of New York City’s East Village.
