“Rent,” the latest production of UMW’s Department of Theatre & Dance, has started a buzz on campus and in the community since its opening last Thursday, Nov. 10. The Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning musical by Jonathan Larson was one of the longest-running Broadway musicals in history. Now, the emotional story has a home at Mary Washington, through Sunday, Nov. 20.
A review in The Free Lance-Star delves into the intensive research and preparation that went into the production, from reading accounts from the late 1980s to meeting with an original cast member of “Rent.”
“The voices were exceptional. Emotions ran high as the cast brought the audience into the streets of New York City,” according to a review in The Bullet.
