well, in case you havn’t heard “Rent” will be shutting down soon.

The award-winning 1996 musical chronicles the struggles of a group of young artists in New York and was groundbreaking in bringing topics such as AIDS into the mainstream.

Rent” was the first Broadway show to start the practice of selling same-day orchestra seats for $20 in a lottery that allowed die-hard fans, dubbed “Rentheads” in the theater world, to come back again and again.

Set in New York’s East Village in the late 1980s and conceived as a modern-day version of Giacomo Puccini’s opera “La Boheme,” “Rent” is a story about relationships between friends living a bohemian life under the shadow of AIDS.

I know you all must be crying about this. So just in case you never saw it. Here is this little song to let you know what it is all about….Enjoy!
