This is finally, an authorized libretto to this modern day classic! "Rent" won the 1996 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, as well as four Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Book, and Best Score for Jonathan Larson. The story of Mark, Roger, Maureen, Tom Collins, Angel, Mimi, JoAnne, and their friends on the Lower East Side of New York City will live on, along with the affirmation that there is 'no day but today.' This title includes 16 color photographs of productions of "Rent" from around the world, plus an introduction ("Rent Is Real") by Victoria Leacock Hoffman.
