Now for those of you who read my blogs, you know that Rent is my favorite show of all time. In fact I saw it over twenty-five times. What can I say? I'm a fan. Hard to believe that it's been over twenty years since the show first opened on the Great White Way.

That is a lot of cities my friends. I only wish one of those stops included New York City. Oh well. It's only been eight years since the Broadway production closed. I'm sure Rent will return one of these days. By the way for those of you who want tickets to see Rent you are in luck. We sell it. Get your tickets to see Rent on tour at a city near you. Until next time theater fans.
