Nine hundred thirty thousand, one hundred eighty minutes.
That’s how you measure the total running time “Rent” will have played on Broadway when, as the producers said on Tuesday, it closes after its evening performance on June 1, making it the seventh-longest-running Broadway show in history.
Story here.......

Yes..maybe you missed my last post that said "offical word". But then again, it's much more fun to bitch about how no one knows the inside story.
Glad I could break it for ya.

Posted: 1/15/08 at 11:14pmSorry but how are we supposed to trust you? Nothing personal, but there was no link supplied in your thread.
I mean, Denzel Washington? Gun to my head..of course.

Posted: 1/15/08 at 11:15pm...Dammit.
You must think I'm still sixteen.
I dropped out of high school for a reason.
And I don't care if you're pretty. I'm not admitting you are right.
My soul is not a stage.
I won't pretend I'm anything I'm not

Posted: 1/15/08 at 11:15pmDoes anyone think that after ticket sales pick up, it will extend?

Annak...If you spend your life waiting for a "link" to some press release, then you will be behind everyone else.
Les Miz revival...Usher in Chicago...O'Hara in SP...Sheri in LM...some of the things I broke here on BWW. As an industry person, I know what's going on.
Feel free to to believe it or not. Don't really care.
And Phyllis....Since you're an industry insider, why don't you feel free to share with us. Hmmm....

I'm not insulting you, but I do happen to like to have things official before I believe them. Silly me. Being behind everyone else doesn't much bother me. If you don't really care, there was no need to bring it back up.
At any rate, no mo Rent.
I mean, Denzel Washington? Gun to my head..of course.

Posted: 1/15/08 at 11:23pmI kind of figured this was coming when they announced the closing of the "official" online community.

Posted: 1/15/08 at 11:26pmLaugh as you may, I just died a little inside. I've wanted for a large majority of my life to see 'the musical that got me into musicals" on Broadway, and now it's not gonna happen.
