Position:Home>Performing Arts> RENT is closing?!?


Question:I can't believe this. I have been obsessed with RENT since I was thirteen. I've watched the movie over 50 times. I can rehearse it word for word. It was my biggest dream to see it on broadway, and now it's closing?! Will this be for good?

I've seen the show twice and I think it is amazing. I also loved the movie. It lasted a long time on Broadway...eleven years. It won the Tony for best musical in 1996. I personally believed that the show would have stayed a lot longer than it is after the movie was released. The chance of it returning to Broadway is very possible but not for at least five years after its closing. But most likely it will be more than 10 years.

who knows? It may come back after awhile... or it may not. I've never seen the Broadway, but I've listened to the soundtrack from the original cast to the point where I can sing all the songs word for word and I've seen the movie a lot...
I went to see the play with a touring cast and it was quite good, they didn't disappoint me.

Even if it does close on Broadway, you'll still be able to see it... but I really hope it does come back!!!
