Rent On GMA

I was looking through my DVR entries and I found the Friday morning performance of the current cast of the “Rent”. The current cast performed along with two of the original cast members, Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal.

It was a great appearance so I wanted to post one of the performances for all to see.



The long-running Broadway hit created by the late Jonathan Larson will be closing on Sunday September 7 and then going on a world-wide tour starting in January 2009. If you haven’t seen “Rent” I would HIGHLY recommend it – it tells the tale of a group of struggling artists in NYC set during a time when poverty and HIV were robbing many people of their lives (it’s sad how little things have changed).

The song featured here is “Seasons of Love” which is one of the most amazing songs written for the musical which won 4 Tonys and the Pulitzer Prize in 1996.

I’m still on the fence if I’m going to try and catch one of the final performances in NYC. Seeing this clip makes me want to head out now.

Enjoy!
