Rent tells the story of a group of impoverished young artists struggling to survive and create a life in Lower Manhattan's East Village in the thriving days of bohemian Alphabet City, under the shadow of HIV/AIDS.

Hair follows a young group of hippies fighting the establishment, dodging the drafts, getting high, living and loving in New York City.

An electric, vibrant celebration of youth and rebellion, Spring Awakening fuses issues of morality, sexuality, and rock and roll into a story that packs a powerful emotional punch. "Don't Do Sadness / Blue Wind" is a hauntingly beautiful song, touching on deep emotions we often don't express.
