The rock musical RENT comes to Ipswich

New Wolsey Theatre Ipswich


6 July 2010 - 10 July 2010
Music and Lyrics by Jonathon Larson
Book by Jonathon Larson
Based on Puccini’s La Boheme


Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty five thousand moments so dear
Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?’…in love?

It is Christmas Eve on the Lower East Side of New York City. A group of artist friends come together and share the night in a special way. Over the next year, as relationships grow and change, they have to struggle with paying the rent, eviction, death, drugs, and living one day at a time. ‘No day but today!’

Rent took Broadway by storm winning the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and 10 Tony Awards.


“Reinventing Broadway… A raw and riveting milestone in musical theater.” Rolling Stone

“Rent is the best show in years, if not decades… makes the musical theatre joyously important again.”
