Rent is Jonathan Larson's rock musical about a year in the lives of young artists in New York's East Village, living under the shadow of HIV/AIDS and trying to make rent. It is loosely based on Puccini's La Bohème, and its songs include "Seasons of Love," "La Vie Bohème," "One Song Glory" and "Take Me or Leave Me."

Rent opened Off-Broadway at New York Theatre Workshop in February 1996. Jonathan Larson died suddenly on January 25, the day of its first preview, and never saw it play to an audience. The show moved to Broadway's Nederlander Theatre that April, won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Musical, and ran for 12 years, closing in 2008 after 5,123 performances.

In London, Luke Sheppard's revival plays the Tom Stoppard Theatre on St Martin's Lane, the West End house formerly called the Duke of York's, with Gaten Matarazzo as Mark. Evening performances are Monday to Saturday at 7:30 PM, and matinees are usually Friday and Saturday at 2:30 PM, with extra matinees in holiday weeks. San Francisco Playhouse at 450 Post Street, off Union Square, stages its own production directed by Bill English, starting with previews from December 11. La Habra Depot Theatre has Friday and Saturday evenings plus weekend matinees through November 22, and Shea's Smith Theatre at 660 Main Street in Buffalo has ten performances over three weekends.

The Tom Stoppard Theatre seats about 640, so even the upper levels feel close to the stage; center stalls and the front of the dress circle give the most balanced view. San Francisco Playhouse is an intimate house of about 200 seats, where nearly every seat is near the action. The seat map on each listing shows what is available.

Weekend evenings and Saturday matinees usually go first, in London and in San Francisco, and the opening weeks of each run tend to be busiest. Midweek evenings often have the widest choice. Resale prices may be higher or lower than face value, and the total you see at checkout already includes fees. Want help choosing a performance? Call 855-855-6777.

With four productions on sale, every Rent listing names the theater, the city and the curtain time, so a London matinee can't be mistaken for a San Francisco evening. Each order is backed by our 100% ticket guarantee.
