New Repertory Theatre presents RENT, the Pulitzer and Tony-winning rock musical by Jonathan Larson, based on Puccini's opera, La Boheme. The musical tells the story of a group of impoverished young artists and musicians struggling to survive, love and create under the shadow of AIDS in New York's Lower East Side in the golden days of bohemian Alphabet City. The timeless story comes to vivid life through the modern rock score, including such favorites as "La Vie Boheme," "What You Own," and "Seasons of Love."

"...New Rep’s “Rent’’ doesn’t really hit its stride, though, until midway through Act 1, with “Tango: Maureen,’’ wherein Mark and Joanne (an excellent Robin Long), Maureen’s new lover, amusingly bewail their shared frustration and bafflement at her erratic and egocentric ways. The subject of their fulminations is barely seen until near the end of Act 1, but Maureen proves worth waiting for: In “Over the Moon,’’ Doherty takes the audience on that very journey. Her parody of performance art is a miniature tour de force of comedic invention."
