world. And now, this Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award®-winning masterpiece returns to the stage
in a vibrant 20th anniversary touring production. A re-imagining of Puccini's La Bohème, RENT
follows an unforgettable year in the lives of seven artists struggling to follow their
dreams without selling out. With its inspiring message of joy and hope in the face of fear,

she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular, their initial rivalry turns into the
unlikeliest of friendships...until the world calls one “good,” and the other one “wicked.”
