This past Friday Rent opened at Seacoast Rep. Book, Music & Lyrics written by Jonathan Larson and Directed by Brian Swasey, who directed last Septembers smash hit Altar Boyz which I designed.
Jonathan Larson’s ground-breaking work follows a year in the lives of seven friends in New York’s East Village as AIDS and its physical and emotional complications pervade their lives. A powerful musical that touches all generations, “Rent” has, by itself, made musical theater joyously important again.
