Rent tickets were among the hardest to find in the Big Apple for long stretches at a time. This is a musical with substance and heart, and the closing of Rent in NYC couldn't hold for long. Starting in January 2009, a Rent National Tour is scheduled to begin touring the country. Rent will open at the Palace Theatre Columbus in Ohio and will be visiting venues all across the country.

About Rent
Rent is a fantastic musical with a powerful message. In very general terms, it is a modern take on Puccini's opera La Bohème set in the East Village of NYC. The musical (like the opera) focuses on a community of struggling young artists. What makes Rent so powerful and so different from La Bohème is the spotlight it shines on AIDS. Rent accomplishes something powerful and emotional as it brings the audience into the very human, very real sense of how AIDS effects people. According to SiteForRent.com (the Official website for the show), Jonathan Larson toiled for seven years with the show before it was ready for the lights of Broadway. The creator of the show had a very special and pressing reason to make Rent a masterpiece; Jonathan Larson had AIDS himself. The final dress rehearsal for Rent in 1996 was triumphant for Larson, as friends, family, and a reporter for The New York Times told him that his musical was an incredible achievement. Later that same day, Larson was found dead in his apartment at age 35, a victim of AIDS.
Though he never lived to see the opening night of Rent on Broadway, Jonathan Larson would have been proud to know that his show saw an incredibly successful 12 year run in NYC. Rent is the seventh longest-running show ever on Broadway and the Rent National Tour in 2009 is highly anticipated. As previously mentioned, the development of Rent as it is seen today was a seven year long labor, and it began with a playwright named Billy Aronson. It was Aronson who had the idea to update La Bohème for the modern era, addressing the struggling artists of today. When Jon Larson met with Aronson to brainstorm about the production, Larson created the title for the show and wanted to use his own experience as inspiration for the production. In 1991, Jon took control of Rent and began molding the musical into what it is today.
Larson even consulted his mentor about Rent. His mentor happened to be the famous composer Stephen Sondheim who composed lyrics to some of Broadways most beloved shows, including West Side Story, Gypsy, and Sweeney Todd, among many others. It was due to Sondheim that Larson secured the funding for a workshop production of Rent. The workshop allowed all the creative minds involved with the process to tweak the show, and once the initial casting was made, the musical was complete. The interview Larson had with the New York Times just prior to his death was not planned, but it captured a moment in his life that was a pinnacle of triumph.
The death of Jonathan Larson deeply affected the original Broadway cast of Rent. The actors experienced losing someone they cared about to AIDS just prior to performing a musical about that same subject. The first performance of Rent on Broadway was powerful; the intensity of the performers combined with the strong message of the show sparked a phenomenon in New York City. Rent became one of the most popular productions in NYC, with Rent tickets selling out at alarming rates. The musical about AIDS continued to perform sold-out shows for nearly 12 years, before closing on Broadway. The legacy Rent lives on in a very exciting Rent National Tour, which is set to start in January 2009. Among the cast for the touring show are two members of the original Broadway cast, Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp. This is the perfect opportunity for Rent fans to experience the musical with the same intensity as the original cast had, the cast Jon Larson worked with personally. cheap Rent tickets will be elusive in 2009, as there are millions of fans who will want to see this cast perform. Something about hearing "I'll Cover You," "Seasons of Love," and "La Vie Bohème" as a member of the audience at a life performance of Rent is so much more touching than watching the Rent on DVD. Don't miss your chance to see this incredible musical performed on stage, buy your discount Rent tickets today from TicketNetwork.
