I'm not gonna lie...I'm pretty depressed.
This show has changed my life. Call it cliche, call me stupid, but it's true. i've seen it three times and i plan to see the tour when it stops in philadelphia. Though I've only liked it for only about 3 years, it has become my everything. It is not the best written, best staged, best choreographed, but it SPEAKS. it's poignant and relatable. while many people can say that they don't care for rent, they do care for broadway, and look at all rent has done for broadway. i am proud of the run rent has had and proud of the lives it has touched, mine included. jonathan larson was a rare blessing given to broadway, and his show must live on through the people who care about it the most...the fans, the hundreds of actors who have graced the nederlander stage, anyone who has ever jumped around their bedroom singing la vie boheme into a hairbrush. i am not ready to say goodbye...and i don't think i ever will. however, every show has its time and rent's is, unfortunately, now. so please, let's say goodbye to the end of an era as we remember and celebrate everything rent has taught us. to anyone who has tickets tonight, cherish the performance, and for everyone, always remember...that there is NO DAY BUT TODAY.
Thank you Jonathan Larson.

And when the night has finally gone, and when we see the new day dawn, we wonder how we wandered for so long, so blind. The wasted world we thought we knew, the light will make it look brand new, so let it shine..."
