Rent is now booking to 31 Dec 2007

The Broadway musical Rent, winner of the 1996 Tony for Best Musical, is now taking bookings to 31 Dec 2007 at the Nederlander Theatre.

The show opened at the Nederlander on 29 Apr 1996, following a successful off-Broadway run.

Rent is the story of Le Boheme retold about poor New Yorkers on Lower East Side with a different ending.

The musical, directed Michael Greif and choreographed by Marlies Yearby, features Nicolette Hart (Maureen), Tonya Dixon (Joanne), D'Monroe (Benny), Christopher J. Hanke (Mark), Troy Horne (Collins), Tim Howar (Roger), Justin Johnston (Angel), and Tamyra Gray (Mimi).

In a recent review of the show New York Theatre Guide wrote "It remains fresh for new audiences through its sheer exuberance and its longer running themes of tolerance and understanding."

The show has set design by Paul Clay, costumes by Angela Wendt and lighting by Blake Burba.
