𝚁𝙴𝙽𝚃 The next show that's hitting Sutton Arts Theatre will be our summer musical, which this year will be 𝚁𝙴𝙽𝚃! 'Jonathan Larson’s smash-hit rock musical, Rent follows a group of young artists living in Manhattan’s East Village as they navigate love, loss, and the devastating impact of HIV/AIDS. Rent beautifully captures the ultimate sacrifice of a life of stability for the sake of art. It’s an inspiring story that reminds us of the importance of following our passions and taking risks to pursue our dreams. Featuring iconic numbers including, ‘Seasons of Love’, ‘La Vie Bohème’, ‘Take Me or Leave Me’, ‘One Song Glory’, and title song ‘Rent’. Loosely based on Puccini’s opera, La Bohème, the multi-award-winning musical, including 4 Tony’s and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama is a must-see for anyone who appreciates great music and powerful storytelling.' Directed by the incredible duo of Dexter Armstrong and Emily Armstrong with the book, music and lyrics by the talented Jonathan Larson - this is one NOT TO BE MISSED! 🎟️ Visit www.suttonartstheatre.co.uk for more information, or click the link in our bio. Call our ticket office on 0121 3555355. Tickets will also be available every night on the door - whilst they are still available. Members can take advantage of our SEASON TICKET.
