With music, lyrics, and book by Jonathan Larson, Rent ran on Broadway for 12 years and enjoyed several national tours and an off-Broadway production. The show won four Tony Awards, six Drama Desk Awards, and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1996. In 2005, it was adapted into a major motion picture featuring original cast members Anthony Rapp, Adam Pascal, Jesse L. Martin, Wilson Jermaine Heredia, Idina Menzel, and Taye Diggs.
Seasons of Love is produced under the wing of the concert series Broadway Sings, created by Corey Mach. The one-night-only concert will be music-directed by Joshua Stephen Kartes.
