RENT

Set in the vibrant, bohemian East Village of New York City, RENT follows a year in the life of a group of impoverished young artists and musicians struggling to survive and create under the shadow of HIV/AIDS.

Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, this iconic rock musical is a powerful, life-affirming story about falling in love, finding your voice, and living for today. Based loosely on Puccini’s La Bohème, Jonathan Larson’s RENT explores the complexities of modern life, friendship, and artistic resilience through an unforgettable, high-energy score.

Whether you are a long-time fan of the show or a newcomer to this pop-culture phenomenon, you will be moved by this production, featuring some of Zurich’s most talented English-speaking performers. Experience an evening of theatre that is, at its heart, exuberant, passionate, and profoundly joyous.

All performances are in English.
