RENT in Concert
Thursday, February 26, 2026
Osterhout Concert Theater
7:30 p.m.
Jonathan Larson鈥檚 groundbreaking Tony and Pulitzer Prize -winning musical RENT returns in a powerful new symphonic concert version.
With a live cast, full band, and symphonic arrangements, RENT in Concert reimagines the beloved rock musical in a bold and moving format. This production brings Larson鈥檚 raw, emotional score to life with a new sonic depth while staying true to its story of community, love, loss, and resilience in the face of the HIV/AIDS crisis.
Fans of the original will find this concert both familiar and fresh; an homage to a show that defined a generation and continues to speak powerfully today.
