Everything is Rent these days as the world gears up for Rent, live on Fox, tomorrow night. Today, we're taking you back into our archives with this photo from the original production of Rent in 1996
The original production of Rent opened over 20 years ago, and skyrocketed its cast to stardom, kickstarting the careers of some of Broadway's now-biggest names. Today we're taking a look at where they are now...
The groundbreaking, Tony Award- and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical is a re-imagining of Puccini's 'La Boheme,' and set in New York City's gritty East Village. 'Rent' tells the unforgettable story of seven artists struggling to follow their dreams during a time of great social and political turmoil.
Tonight, FOX will air their third live musical production. Following in the footsteps of Grease and A Christmas Story, the network will be presenting Jonathan Larson's Rent, a rock musical that is loosely based on Giacomo Puccini's 1896 opera, La boheme. The story follows a group of impoverished young artists struggling to survive and create a life in New York City's East Village in the thriving days of Bohemian Alphabet City, under the shadow of HIV/AIDS.
There is truly no day but today when it comes to FOX's Rent, which airs tonight at 8pm. Since it premiered off Broadway in 1996, the musical has earned a special place in the hearts of all those who have encountered Jonathan Larson's powerful message- Rentheads and ordinary theatre-goers alike. Below, watch as the company takes a moment to chat about what Rent really means to each of them.
