Rent (1996) - repro

The historic original 1996 Off-Broadway premiere of Jonathan Larson’s 'Rent' exploded onto the stage of the New York Theatre Workshop, running for an astonishing sold-out residency before its immediate, historic transfer to the Nederlander Theatre. Born from an independent workshop, the thundering rock opera completely dismantled traditional golden-era formatting to observe the raw, unvarnished realities of the East Village arts counterculture loop, introducing the pop standard "Seasons of Love." This tracking entry records the initial world debut blueprints starring Anthony Rapp, Adam Pascal, and Daphne Rubin-Vega.
