Final curtain closes on Broadway’s ‘Rent’
“I thought Jonathan wrote a wonderful musical that was true to its time and I was really happy to get to work on it. I think Jonathan had some inkling on where it could go, there’ve been lots of stories about that. I had a great group and Jonathan was doing wonderful, wonderful work and I was very proud of what we were doing, then other things took over.”
”Rent” director Michael Greif reflecting on the work of Jonathan Larson, creator of the Broadway muscial ”Rent” — a GLBT-inclusive story loosely based on ”La Boheme.” The show which will be making it’s final Broadway performance after 12 years, and it is the 7th longest-running Broadway musical in history.
