25 Years of 'Rent'
All Of It - A podcast by WNYC
[REBROADCAST FROM March 1, 2021] The musical, "Rent," was first performed in January of 1996 at the New York Theater Workshop in the East Village. This year marks the production's 25th anniversary and the New York Theatre Workshop is honoring the musical by making it the centerpiece of its annual gala -- 25 Years of Rent: Measured in Love. Original cast members Daphne Rubin-Vega and Adam Pascal and New York Theatre Workshop artistic director, Jim Nicola, join us to talk about the gala as well as the musical's legacy.
