Must – see musical: Rent
A musical phenomenon that celebrates ‘life lived to its limits’, RENT is taking centre stage as The Court Theatre’s summer musical.
This uplifting and equally heartbreaking story celebrates love and friendships that are brave in the face of danger.
The ground-breaking production follows a group of struggling artists living in New York City. Fall in love with the complex characters as they chase their dreams, all against a backdrop of poverty, looming gentrification, and the AIDS crisis of the 1990s. Sharing an important message of always choosing love, especially in the face of hate, you will be captivated and inspired.
High-energy musical numbers, including Seasons of Love and La Vie Bohème, will have you grooving along in your seat.
RENT was a late addition to The Court Theatre’s Ryman Healthcare 2022 season.
As Covid-19 affected the theatre’s programming for the third year in a row, The Court decided to add RENT as its summer musical.
Director Lara Macgregor was thrilled with the decision. “Surely there’s no better time in our post-Covid-19 history to celebrate actors, creativity, and lifelong friendships,” she says.
