Rent made it's way back to the NY stage for the first time in 3 years ( 1,576,800 minutes); Theophilus London played Opening Ceremony's block party; the Timeshare Backyard opened; LMFAO played Pier 39 and more. Last night's parties were their very own party rock anthem!
RENT Opening Night
Where: New World Stages
Other Details: Rent is back on stage in NYC. Reviews seem mixed with the NYT stating, "Maybe they should call it “Sublet," when noting the performers inability to make the production feel at home. The NYDN says "the cast, while uniformly capable, doesn't boast a breakout star," and also has a problem with the new costumes, commenting that one actor is "stuck wearing jeggings-like pants that just look ... off." Jeggings, they ruin everything. [Via]
