Karen Mok, the half-Chinese performer who is a recording artist as well as film actress, will join those actors for the tour; she will play Mimi. The tour will star Kushnier as Roger, Ellet as Mark, Parker as Tom Collins, Greaves as Joanne, Senor as Angel and Manuel as Maureen, as well as Daryle C. Brown as Benny. A tour schedule will be announced soon.
With its groundbreaking rock score by Larson and a story that captured the current of its generation, Rent is set in late-90's New York (updated in its film version) in the East Village, where a group of artists love and live La Vie Boheme even under the shadow of poverty, failure, illness and death. The La Boheme-based show, which has been running at the Nederlander Theatre since its opening in 1996, won the Pultizer and the 1996 Tony Award for Best Musical, as well as 3 others. Tragically, Larson died a few months before the show opened. It has since run over 3,900 performances on Broadway.
