Rent

Rent is a musical by Jonathan Larson. A Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning rock musical, loosely based on Puccini's opera La Boheme and set in New York's East Village, it opened at the Nederlander Theatre in 1996, with international spin-off productions. A 2005 movie version based on it stars Taye Diggs and many members of the original cast. In South Africa it was first produced by Hazel Feldman and directed by American Amy Hensberry at the refurbished Alexander Theatre and at Artscape in 2007-8. Jill Somers was the choreographer and company manager and musical director was Bryan Schimmel.
