RENT is more than a show, it’s a phenomenon– a theatrical experience that transformed how a generation feels about musicals, changed Broadway forever, and inspired a major motion picture.
Now, the award-winning musical returns to San Diego March 10 for a 6-night run at the San Diego Civic Theatre.
Original Broadway castmembers Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp joined the tour which kicked off in January in Cleveland and ends in August in upstate New York.
"Rent" played its final, tearful performance in New York on Sept. 7, 2008, after 5,124 performances, the seventh longest running show in Broadway history. It helped launch the careers of Rapp, Pascal and Stewart, as well as Taye Diggs, Idina Menzel and Jesse L. Martin, and netted four Tony Awards. A film, a DVD and CD are all available.
Rapp insists he's not sick of singing the show's songs, including "Today 4 U," "I'll Cover You" and "Life Support."
"This may sound stupid, but it's like spending time with one of my best friends," Rapp told the North County Times. "That's what it feels like to be in this world. It feels familiar and full of love and light and heartbreak ---- all of that I think is encapsulated in this piece."
