RENT is the seventh longest-running show in Broadway history.
RENT, written by Jonathan Larson and directed by Michael Greif, opened at Broadway's Nederlander Theatre on April 29, 1996 following a history-making, sold out, extended limited engagement at off-Broadway's New York Theatre Workshop.

RENT is the winner of 18 American awards, including the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, 4 Tony Awards®, a New York Drama Critics Circle Award, 6 Drama Desk Awards, 3 Obie Awards and a Drama League Award.RENT launched the careers of an incredible group of young performers, including Taye Diggs, Wilson Jermaine Heredia, Jesse L. Martin, Idina Menzel, Adam Pascal, Anthony Rapp, and Daphne Rubin-Vega.Stars from the world of pop music joined the RENT cast at various times throughout its run, including Joey Fatone of 'N Sync, Drew Lachey of 98 Degrees, Melanie Brown of the Spice Girls, and Frenchie Davis and Tamyra Gray of "American Idol."
