We have roughly 2,500 students in medium size city in Wisconsin. Our school is contemplating proposing RENT: TSE for our fall musical. This adaptation has been carefully done, working with the Larson estate to retain the dramatic intent of the groundbreaking rock musical, and consists of minimal changes to language and the removal of one song ("Contact") to make it possible for many schools to perform this piece. Schools will love the freedom and flexibility that this show offers minimal costuming and sets are required. Rent School Edition is exuberant, passionate and joyous. How these young bohemians negotiate their dreams, loves and conflicts provides the narrative thread to this groundbreaking musical.
