This Sunday, Broadway's biggest night takes center stage for the 78th Annual Tony Awards on CBS , celebrating excellence in live theater.

But right now, the spotlight is also shining in Philadelphia, where the Arden Theatre in Old City is presenting its own tribute to Broadway history, Jonathan Larson's groundbreaking musical "Rent."

The rock musical, which won four Tony Awards and a Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1996, continues to resonate with audiences nearly 30 years later.

"The vibration of 'Rent' – what it stood for – I think, is still really, really impactful today," said Gilbert Diego Sanchez, who stars as Angel in the Arden Theatre production.
