The musical RENT, inspired by Puccini's La Boheme, is a joyous, breathtaking and often heartbreaking musical that celebrates a community of young artists in downtown New York looking for love and success and struggling to make their mark on the world. The most honored musical since A Chorus Line in 1976, RENT is only the fifth musical to ever win both the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award for Best Musical. Critics have called RENT “the best thing that has happened to the Broadway musical in a long time!”
RENT captures the heart and spirit of a generation.
Recommended for Mature Audiences – adult themes and language

Reviews:
  • North County Times by Pam Kragen:
    "San Diego actor Shaun Tuazon steps into drag for the second time in three months (he co-starred in Circle Circle dot dot's "Deconstruction of a Drag Queen" in April) as Angel... He's a good singer/dancer and endearingly sweet."
    http://www.nctimes.com/entertainment/arts-and-theatre/theatre/theater-review-rent-rocks-with-young-energetic-cast/article_d0394fdb-ff2c-5119-9fac-c0df0a7a5c93.html 
  • Pat Launer - Center Stage:
    "The one notable and exceptional local is Shaun Tuazon as the angelic drag queen, Angel. This is a high-energy, praiseworthy production, with top-notch singing and a first-rate band. The rented set is outstanding, as is Ron Kellum’s direction."
    http://www.jazz88.org/centerStage.php  
  • Charlene And Brenda In the Blogosphere - Charlene Baldridge:
    "We already know he’s an indefatigable, wondrously strong dancer, able to leap onto tall tables effortlessly. He is possessed as well with an undeniable, sweet appeal perfect for Angel."

  • San Diego Reader:
    "The show had good energy, some good singing, and some great singing."
    http://www.sandiegoreader.com/weblogs/jam-session/2012/jul/02/rent-boheme/  
  • Review by Rob Appel, San Diego Theatre Reviews:
    "Popular, local singer-actor Shaun Tuazon (as a snappy, you-go-girl, Angel) - is remembered recently for his bombastic, coming-out performance in "Deconstruction of a Drag Queen" at the 10th Ave Theatre - now, here in RENT, Shaun Tuazon just continues to get better and better..."
