Review: RENT at Blackfriars Theatre
Throughout modern Broadway history, there seems to be one musical that defines every era. The 1970s gave us “A Chorus Line”; the 80s brought “The Phantom of the Opera”; “Wicked” and “Book of Mormon” dominated the aughts, and “Hamilton” has reigned supreme since 2015.

It’s currently getting a heartfelt, well-produced rendition at Rochester’s Blackfriars Theatre for the company’s annual summer intensive program.
