"I didn't read page 2 of this thread, so maybe someone mentioned this already (sorry!), but I know sometimes big colleges get special permission to do shows. A friend of mine goes to U of I and mentioned that they might be getting the rights to RENT next year (even though it's still on Broadway, the "real" rights aren't out yet, etc. etc.)"
according to what I read on the MTI site...
CURRENTLY RESTRICTED
when I asked about it, you can get the royalties under different conditions. like how close the tour comes to your area and whatever.
but yeah Rent is open for some areas
