Musical relic of mid-nineties 'Rent' is finally closing. Last performance on June 1, 2008. I know I'll be pissing off legions of "Rentheads" when I say this but good fucking riddance. I'm as big a fan of Mimi and her unlit candle and of creator Jonathan Larson's compelling narrative both onstage and off as anyone else BUT the musical has spawned a whole crusading brigades of annoying musical theatre queens who crowd
Marie's Crisis Cafe and other piano bars to demand the pianist play "La Vie Boheme," They never shut up about how 'Rent' changed their lives. They have 'Rent' sheets and 'Rent' towels and compulsively shout 'Rent' lyrics. These are the same people who are really good at singing and barge in to karaoke and sing 'It's Raining Men' with ample melisma to the annoyance of the general karaoking population who just want to get wasted and sing delightfully inept versions of "Love Will Keep Us Together." But not all is lost, "Rentheads." In other words, don't rend your garments quite yet.According to the
Times, 'Rent' isn't completely dissappearing. It's only vacating New York.
In an interview from his home in Los Angeles, Mr. Larson [Jonathan's father] said the ending of the show’s Broadway run would mean more shows in high schools and small theaters, a development he embraces.
A contagion of 'Rent' in community theaters nationwide! A play about AIDS and drugs and poverty being sung by privileged suburban white kids at their high school! La Vie Boheme lives!
