Description: Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical as well as the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1996, this musical is the eighth-longest running Broadway show in history.
An East Village rock version of Puccini’s opera La Bohéme, Larson’s stirring and life-affirming score captures the heart and spirit of a generation of struggling artists, addicts, and impoverished young people living in the shadow of AIDS, battling the coming wave of gentrification. A time capsule of a world where hope crawls out of dark despair, these Bohemians find the salvation of love within each other and prove there can be a better world where art thrives, and everything good is free.
Tickets: $35/adult; $20 senior citizen/student/military; and $15 children/Previews.
