Fervent fans of
Rent packed the Nederlander Theatre on April 24 for a 10th anniversary performance that reunited the musical's original cast. The semi-staged version doubled as a benefit for the New York Theatre Workshop (the original off-Broadway home of
Rent), Friends in Deed and the Jonathan Larson Performing Arts Foundation, named for musical's late composer. After dozens of current and past cast members took their finale bows, stars and guests moved on to Cipriani's on East 42nd Street for a festive birthday party. For fans of the show, it was a rare opportunity to see multiple Marks, Mimis and Angels in the same room. As always, Broadway.com had a ringside seat.
