"...A multi-year, 20th anniversary touring production that recreates the direction and most of the creative aspects of the original 1996 Broadway show, and that features a cast who embody the beloved characters of the piece, hit the road in 2016 and is at ASU Gammage for a week-long run. ....Seeing those aspects of the original production so lovingly recreated should make any Rent fan happy, as well as provide a good basis for anyone new to the show with a clear understanding as to why it was such a groundbreaking production in its originality and theatricality....The energy and eagerness that all members of the touring cast bring to their parts makes them all quite effective, and fairly realistic, as these, mostly, young starving artists from the 1990s....While Rent is now more than 20 years old and the topic of living with AIDS is now one with less of a stigma and death sentence attached to it, the themes the show presents of young people struggling to find their place in the world and a family of friends coming together to overcome their issues and celebrate life still resonate. Jonathan Larson's score is still energetic, timeless, raw and fun and this anniversary tour production is a loving testament to how moving and memorable this musical is and results in a highly enjoyable and emotionally effective piece of theatre.
