Rent is one of the most successful musicals of Broadway, where it has run for twelve years. Its premiere in 1996 at the Nederlander Theatre, was accompanied by a fatal outcome: a week before its author the New Yorker Jonathan Larson died of an aortic aneurysm.
Based on the opera La Bohème of Giacomo Puccini, it recounts a year in the life of a group of young artists trying to survive in New York in the early nineties, all under the shadow of AIDS and characters who, for the first time in a musical, presented themselves openly gay and bisexual. It won four Tony Awards and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1996.
The cast of Rent 2014 is formed by Jose Artero, Ricky Merino, Albert Ferrer, Juan Antonio Cruz, Marian Uribe, Marga Bonnín, Carlota Carballo and Alicia Nilson.
