After 12 years, 'Rent' will close June 1

I did a search. Hope this isn't a d_b.

I'm glad I got to see it a couple of weeks ago. Amazing, beautiful performance.

Hubby and I honeymooned in New York and had eighth row center seats for Rent in 2000. Loved it.

 

Or not, as it turns out. Very good movie; never saw the play.

 

I'm going in April to see it.

 

I saw it a long time ago, in 1999. It wasn't bad, though at the time, I was just an immature 16-year-old kid, so it didn't have a lot of impact on me. I just remember telling my sister it was "way too fucking long."

My mom and sister adored it, though.

 

I've seen this show several times, both on Broadway and on tour, and have loved every performance. The stage show is so much better than the movie, though I also enjoyed the film. It's sad that it's closing, but not surprising given the dwindling audience and the now-somewhat-dated message.

 

Great show that was originally scheduled to close on Oct. 29, 2006. My niece, who had seen it once, absolutley had to see the final performance so we got tix for Oct. 29 as a birthday gift. By the time the show rolled around, they had announced that it wasn't closing.
I'm sure I'll be hearing from her tomorrow that we NEED to go to the final performance on June 1, especially since her scheduled third time to see it was cancelled by the stagehands strike.
I'd definitely see it again.

 

Haven't seen it or Spamalot. I prolly need to go out and catch them before the curtains go down for good.

 

Those punks Mark and Roger always were pretty tough to evict.
