The Magic of RENT at Intiman Theatre



These are the oldest photos on my phone, taken on May 5, 2023, at the Intiman Theatre in Stockholm, Sweden. They feature pupils from the Swedish performing arts school, Stockholms musikalartistutbildning, performing the musical RENT. 

Base 23's Stockholms musikalartistutbildning is a premier program dedicated to nurturing the next generation of musical theatre talent. Located in the heart of Stockholm, this program offers an intensive and comprehensive curriculum designed for aspiring performers who aim to excel in the competitive world of musical theatre. Students receive top-tier training in singing, dancing, and acting from highly experienced instructors who are professionals in their respective fields.

The program emphasizes both individual artistry and ensemble work, ensuring that each student develops their unique talents while also learning the importance of collaboration. With state-of-the-art facilities, including fully equipped studios and performance spaces, students are immersed in a professional environment that mirrors the demands of the industry.

One of the standout features of Stockholms musikalartistutbildning is its strong connections to the Swedish and international theatre scenes. Through workshops, masterclasses, and guest lectures, students have the opportunity to learn from and network with industry leaders. This, combined with practical performance experiences and a focus on personal growth, ensures that graduates are well-prepared to pursue successful careers in musical theatre.

At Base 23, the Stockholms musikalartistutbildning is not just about training performers; it's about inspiring artists who will shape the future of musical theatre.

RENT is a groundbreaking rock musical with music, lyrics, and book by Jonathan Larson. Debuting on Broadway in 1996, it quickly became a cultural phenomenon, winning multiple awards including the Tony Award for Best Musical and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The show is set in New York City's East Village and follows a group of young artists and musicians struggling to survive and create under the shadow of poverty, social unrest, and the AIDS epidemic.

The story is a modern adaptation of Giacomo Puccini's opera "La Bohème," and it captures the raw, gritty essence of bohemian life. Central characters include Mark, a filmmaker; Roger, a musician; Mimi, an exotic dancer; Tom Collins, a philosophy professor; Angel, a drag queen and street musician; Maureen, a performance artist; and Joanne, a lawyer. Their intertwined lives depict themes of love, loss, friendship, and the relentless pursuit of one's dreams against daunting odds.

RENT is notable for its diverse cast, edgy score, and its unflinching portrayal of contemporary issues. Songs like "Seasons of Love," "La Vie Bohème," and "Take Me or Leave Me" have become iconic anthems. The musical's message of living for today and embracing love and community continues to resonate with audiences worldwide.
