Rent Boys Go on the Road

Attention, Rent-heads: Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal, the original Mark and Roger in the stage and screen versions of Rent, will return once again to their star-making roles for a national tour beginning in January.

In related news, the long-running Broadway run of Rent will come to an end June 1 (though I expect there will be at least one extension of that date). EW.com has posted "an extended oral history" on the creation of the ground-breaking phenomenon known as Rent.

UPDATE: From the "No Big Surprise" department: Rent has extended its closing date to September 7.
