La Vie Boheme! A story of resilience and hope that taught us all to measure our life in love.
Set in the East Village of New York City, Rent – School Edition 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, it 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, Rent School Edition 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. How these young bohemians hope, struggle and triumph provides the narrative thread to this ground-breaking musical, reminding us all to measure our lives in love.
Featuring iconic musical theatre hits such as Seasons of Love, Take Me or Leave Me, and La Vie Bohème, Rent is packed with unforgettable songs that have inspired generations and continue to resonate with audiences today.
This is an amateur production, presented by the Co-op Juniors, as part of the New Wolsey Theatre’s Summer 2025 season.
