[Title] => GLOBAL NEWS: 'Rent' to bring down the curtain on Broadway run
[Summary] => NEW YORK (AP) - Broadway prepared to say goodbye Sunday to "Rent," 12 years and 5,124 performances after it first became a rock musical with a message for theatergoers of all ages.
"There's mixed emotions, but it's time," said Allan S. Gordon, one of its producers.
The show, book, music and lyrics by Jonathan Larson, was born off-Broadway in triumph and tragedy. Larson died of an aortic aneurism after its final dress rehearsal in January 1996. He was 35.
"It was the most shocking thing," Gordon recalled. "I still can't believe Jonathan is dead. All you need is one (big hit), and he had that. I don't miss what he didn't write. I feel bad that he isn't here to enjoy what he did."
Larson's tale of free-spirited artists and street people in a gritty drug- and AIDS-plagued East Village of the early 1990s touched several generations.
Rave reviews propelled "Rent" to Broadway where the musical opened the following April at the Nederlander Theatre, a house often shunned by producers because it was on the wrong side of 42nd Street.
The show, inspired by Puccini's "La Boheme," found a ready-made audience in young people. Its fanatical supporters were nicknamed "Rentheads," and many of them saw the show after the musical instituted a same-day, front-row ticket price of $20. The plan proved so popular that it was changed to a lottery format to accommodate the demand.

[Title] => No day but today
[Summary] => 
I remember my very first encounter with Jonathan Larson’s insanely popular musical Rent. It was almost exactly a decade ago when a good friend of mine who knew I enjoyed theater told me to finally give the classics a rest and try listening to a new, fresh, inspiring, and wholly passionate musical about love, friendship, living, and making the most of every single minute of every year of your life.
