LONG BEACH, CA-Just a little over two months after RENT's current Broadway National Tour made a tour stop in nearby Costa Mesa, Musical Theater West debuts the first L.A.-area professional regional production of RENT at the Richard and Karen Carpenter Center for the Performing Arts. Their production of the multiple Tony Award-winning musical, which continues for two weeks until December 20, stars former Queer Eye for the Straight Guy 'culture vulture' Jai Rodriguez in the role of Angel, a role he also stepped into during the latter part of the groundbreaking, Pulitzer prize winning show's 12 year run on Broadway. The material (based loosely on Puccini's La Boheme) is extremely familiar to many of the show's rabid fans. And, as evidenced by the opening night's capacity audience, 'RENT-heads' (as fanatics of the show are lovingly called) come in droves to see and hear this popular musical (even in the pouring rain-a rarity here in Southern California).
