RENT Closes in Broadway

RENT, the Pulitzer and Tony award winning musical by Jonathan Larson, which is a modernized version of the Italian opera La Boheme, will be lowering the final curtain on Broadway on June 1st, 2008. As of now, the count is 95,547 minutes 'till the last show :'(. 

The one thing I wanted to do when I get my trip to New York when i graduate was to watch RENT, and the modernized West Side Story. Both are now closed. Urine Town sucks. The Philippine version was great, but as they say, nothing beats Broadway. As was mentioned in the RENT website, "an era is about to end." We must be thankful for 14 years of je ne sais pas. It's more than just a "gay" show. It's about courage, truth, passion, acceptance, friendship, hope, and love. RENT formed a whole generation of Rentheads that will forever keep the music living inside them, and will for as long as they live look at every fleeting moment not as a second in a day, but rather as the experience that co-exists with the time. RENT practices precisely what it preaches. It measures in love. Real time is not measured in seconds. It is measured in experience.  

Thank you RENT for being a part of my life.
