About Rent: Filmed Live on Broadway
Set in New York City's gritty East Village, the revolutionary rock opera RENT tells the story of a group of bohemians struggling to live and pay their rent. "Measuring their lives in love," these starving artists strive for success and acceptance while enduring the obstacles of poverty, illness and the AIDS epidemic.
Directed by Michael John Warren, Rent: Filmed Live on Broadway leans on a strong ensemble — Will Chase, Adam Kantor, Michael McElroy — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2008.
