This week’s UH News Image of the Week is from UH Mānoa’s Christine Lamborn.
Lamborn shared: “Jonathan Larson’s extraordinary rock musical RENT will be live on the UH Mānoa Kennedy Theatre Mainstage from February 28 to March 9, 2025. Directed by Joshua ‘Baba’ Tavares, this heartfelt musical, loosely inspired by Puccini’s La Bohème, RENT reimagines the classic opera’s themes of love and sacrifice through the lens of struggling young artists in the Lower East Side of Manhattan during the height of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Since its groundbreaking Broadway debut in 1996, RENT has touched the lives of millions around the globe, becoming a cultural phenomenon with its timeless themes of love, resilience, hope, community, and identity. It earned the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and multiple Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Original Score, and Best Book of a Musical. Its iconic songs, including ‘Seasons of Love,’ continue to resonate with audiences worldwide, cementing the show’s legacy as a transformative work of musical theatre. ”
Tickets range $5–$25. Link to purchase tickets online and more info can be found at: manoa.hawaii.edu/liveonstage/rent
