Rent at CIBC Theatre

Around The Town Chicago - Highly Recommended

"...It is a show filled with characters that might make you uncomfortable at first, but as the stories unfold and intertwine, they all meld into a series of love stories that bring all of these odd-balls together. This is a powerful cast with great zest and energy and if you have never seen the show, be prepared to hear lots of applause from those in the audience who have made this a "cult classic". While they are saying this is a farewell Tour, I for one feel that they will come back as long as people want to watch this story. Remember, Larson died before it opened, so other than his other play "Tick Tick Boom", this is the only major work he did ( and a masterpiece it is)."

"...RENT is part of our cultural history, and for that reason alone, should make its way on to the short list of musicals to see, for anyone interested in musical theater. If the opening night crowd was any indicator, it would be more appropriate to call it THE NOSTALGIA TOUR. There didn't seem to be a dance move or high note that most of the crowd didn't know was coming, even though a huge portion of the audience were likely not even born when the show was first performed. One can imagine that some of them will be going to see this Farewell Tour more than once!"
