You are invited to Bloomingdale's for a free in-store performance featuring the cast of RENT.
Thursday, July 17, 2008 5:30 pm Bloomingdale's 59th Street New York City Y.E.S. Contemporary Sportswear, on 2
Following the performance, you can meet the actors and get their autographs!
Also, while you're at Bloomingdale's, be sure to check out the RENT window displays, featuring costumes worn over the past 12 years on Broadway, including the original Mimi lavender lace top worn by DAPHNE RUBIN-VEGA in "Light My Candle," the rust-colored leather coat worn by JESSE L. MARTIN and subsequent actors who played Tom Collins over the last 10 years, and the sweater worn by original "Seasons of Love" soloist GWEN STEWART. The RENT costumes will be on display at Bloomingdale's from July 9th through the 20th.
There's NO DAY BUT TODAY to celebrate RENT one last time.
I hadn't realized that all the Collins wore that same coat. The kimono that Mimi wears in "Out Tonight" is the same one Daphne wore and EVERY single actress since has worn it. Crazy.
Why Bloomingdales of ALL the possible places? I don't get the connection...
