Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Jonathan Larson’s Rent is the pop cultural phenomenon that has resonated with audiences since it premiered. Set in New York’s Lower East Side, we follow a year in the life of a group of impoverished young artists struggling to survive and create under the shadow of economic displacement and the AIDS crisis. How these young bohemians negotiate their dreams, loves, and conflicts is an exuberant, tragic, and joyous journey in one of the most beloved pop musicals of all time!

Rent: The Musical

Long Beach Playhouse

From award-winning playwright Sarah Ruhl comes this dramatic comedy infused with laughter and magical realism.  Lane has hired Brazilian housekeeper Matilde to clean her house, but Matilde is more interested in coming up with the perfect joke than in house-cleaning.  As Lane’s clean-freak sister Virginia clandestinely takes over Matilde’s cleaning duties, Lane’s husband reveals that he has found his soulmate in Ana, a cancer patient he has treated. As Lane’s life seems to fall apart, humor, pain, and mortality bring the women together in this whimsical and wildly funny play about class, comedy, and the true nature of love.
