For a quarter of a century, Jonathan Larson's RENT has inspired us to choose love over fear and to live without regret. This Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning phenomenon follows a year in the lives of a diverse group of artists and friends struggling to follow their dreams without selling out. It has become more than a musical – it's a cultural touchstone, a rite of passage and a source of joy and strength for millions. RENT has become a part of us forever. Whether you've never seen RENT or completely lost count, you can't miss it this time around – the 25th Anniversary "Farewell Season of Love" is your FINAL CHANCE to experience this celebrated touring production.
From the moment I sat down into my chair to the first note/ word that the guy playing mark says/ sings I get the chills because Rent is the kind of musical that will give you chills because it’s that good. Best experience I’ve ever had
Not for Rent-alumni from the 90’s. Understand it had to be updated for 2019, but did not travel well. Aside from a performance that (while everyone was incredibly talented!!) didn’t match my expectation—we just live in a different era which you can’t do anything about. The height of the AIDS epidemic was so unique, somber—and just sad. Not the time for levity, unnecessary laughter and audience participation!
Wonderful comtemp musical. A little down at times but overall a wonderful show. See it before its gone!
There was not a weak performer in the bunch. I especially enjoyed Javon King (Angel) & Devinre' Adams (Collins). Another pleasant surprise was Lyndie Moe (Maureen) who's rendition of Over the Moon was fantastic. Very talented engaging company.
This was our 5th time seeing Rent in various venues and 3rd seeing it downtown Chicago. We all felt the show was rushed and that the cast didn't seem to leave time for the audience to interact. We were very disappointed in the show.
This play was absolutely amazing. The acting, singing, dancing, all of it was so great!!!!! I wish I could see it again and again!!!
Great show, cast was well rounded and had fabulous voices. Enjoyed the show very much!
Not the strongest production Music was excellent as always
Just as poignant and emotional as the first time I saw it 20 years ago!
After seeing West Side Story the previous week at the Lyric, Rent was disappointing.
We saw this at the former Oriental Theater in Chicago and were blown away at the beauty of the venue. The performance was very well done. The only two sticking points for us were a stack of speakers that ruined our sightlines of the left side of the stage from the Loge seats that I paid extra for. Also some of the cast were not as strong as others, to a noticable fault at times. But overall a great show and a good time. Would recommend to anyone who hasn't seen it.
My seat was limited view. It was in the Dress Circle section. Thankfully it wasn't full so I could lean over and have a good window to view the stage. The theatre is beautiful! Overall, my experience was amazing and I am so glad we took a chance on getting tickets at the last minute.
Needed a songbook to read along. Must be a problem for everyone as they had a voice promoter. Maybe the microphones don’t pick up sound clearly. The theater is amazing. Staff was top notch. Would go to another show there but not this one
I saw Rent in Chicago many years ago and loved it! I was so happy to see it again last Wednesday and LOVED this performance even more!!! These young actors were amazing, talented, and exuberant in their roles! It was an amazing show!
Excellent! Loved it! Would def go back again to see
The show was fabalous. Was a time of realization how narrow minded the populisation was.Being 78 was very meanful to me
The performers were wonderful. The songs and choreography were incredible. The music was a little to loud and sometimes made it difficult to make out the words of the songs being sung. If I wasn't familiar with the musical that would have been more off putting for me.
Tickets were purchased on Black Friday. I didn't even realize I chose Mother's Day until later. The show was better than expected. Very well done!
I remember seeing this in ny night after night waited for the lottery tickets and made friends. I’ve seen it in ny 436 times and 56 times on tour. This is my all time favorite musical.
Set was too cluttered and so many actors on stage at the same time I didn't know who was speaking.
