RENT stars Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp are currently reprising their original Broadway (and film-version) roles in the new 2009 The Broadway Tour of the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning Jonathan Larson musical.Pascal and Rapp originated the roles of Roger Davis and Mark Cohen at the New York Theatre Workshop, on Broadway, and in London, and re-created their roles in the 2005 film-version of the musical. They also returned to RENT on Broadway for a limited engagement in the summer of 2007.
One of the tour's producers Jeffrey Seller stated, "Adam and Anthony didn't just play Roger and Mark. To millions of RENT fans they are Roger and Mark. Adam and Anthony are to RENT what Joel Grey was to CABARET and Zero Mostel was to FIDDLER ON THE ROOF. It's a great time to offer fans all over America the unique chance to see them in their signature roles."
The Broadway production ended its 11-year run on September 7, 2008 at the Nederlander Theatre in New York City.
RENT: The Broadway Tour will be playing The Fillmore at the Jackie Gleason Theater (in Miami Beach, Florida) from December 8 thru 13, 2009.
