RENT comes to Toronto in this epic rock musical that inspired a generation. Set in the East Village of New York City, RENT is about falling in love, finding your voice and living for today. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Rent has become a pop cultural phenomenon. With songs that rock and a story that resonates with audiences of all ages. Based loosely on Puccini's La Boheme, Jonathan Larson's RENT follows a year in the life of a group of impoverished young artists and musicians struggling to survive and create in New York's Lower East Side, under the shadow of HIV/AIDS. How these young bohemians negotiate their dreams, loves and conflicts provides the narrative thread to this ground-breaking musical.

Directed and Choreographed by Saccha Dennis, and musical direction by Shari Porter, this production features dynamic, young performers who come from all four corners of the GTA and beyond. This show promises to be as outstanding as Mainstage Theatre Company’s many previous productions.

You have seen them in huge current musical shows like Come From Away and Dear Evan Hansen or in the past in shows like Kinky Boots and Jersey Boys. Now you have an opportunity to see some of the city's biggest musical theatre stars perform in the intimate setting of the Lula Lounge (Dundas Street W), one night only, on Monday June 24. As Jeff Madden star of Jersey Boys and Come From Away puts it, 'The audience is going to see and hear some of this country's finest singing actors sharing their talent in a more intimate setting than usual. That in of itself makes it worthwhile. You can add the extra joy of knowing that your money will be going towards top-notch musical theatre programming for youth. It's a huge win.'
