Celebrate a 20-Year Friendship with RENT's Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp at Ridgefield Playhouse

What does 525,600 minutes x 20 equal? Twenty years of friendship since Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp who created the roles of, respectively, Roger and Mark in the original Broadway production of the Tony-winning musical Rent, joined forces in this iconic, cultural phenomenon. Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp will celebrate the occasion with a special one night only performance at The Ridgefield Playhouse!

Ridgefield Magazine Broadway and Cabaret Series presents "Acoustically Speaking - A 20 Year Friendship" on Sunday, October 16 at 7:30 p.m. with a brand new show featuring the two Broadway giants, coming together to celebrate music, stories and their friendship. An intimate show, Adam & Anthony will deliver solo sets featuring both original tunes and songs that have influenced their lives, capped off by performing a few of the iconic hits from where it all began- meeting at RENT.

Make it a great night out with dinner and a show, visit Bernard's (20 West Lane, Ridgefield) on the day of the show for a great Prix Fixe Menu when you present your tickets to this performance.

RENT, by Jonathan Larson, has gone on to become an international phenomenon from its Off Broadway beginnings. Fans everywhere relate to the theme and stories of RENT and certainly have connected with the characters and the actors who portrayed them. Since their time as members of the original cast, Adam & Anthony have remained close friends while each have gone off to do additional great work in film and on Broadway. These days, Anthony continues on the If/Then national tour, repeating the role he originated on Broadway. Adam returned to Broadway's Nederlander Theater this past winter, starring in Disaster - which has received critical and audience acclaim. Both artists have continued to do their own solo concerts throughout the country.
