Rent, Filmed Live on Broadway

Rent: Filmed Live on Broadway captures the final performance of the original Broadway production of Jonathan Larson's Pulitzer Prize-winning musical Rent on September 7, 2008, after over 5,000 shows. [1][3] This high-definition recording, assembled from that closing night and an earlier August 20 performance, includes a special "Seasons of Love" reprise with original cast members joining the final ensemble. [3][6]

## Production Details
Sony Pictures released it as the first live Broadway show in major North American theaters from September 24-28, 2008, in over 500 venues with digital projection. [3] The DVD and Blu-ray followed on February 3, 2009, under their "Hot Ticket" label, featuring behind-the-scenes extras. [3][6] Directed by Michael John Warren with cinematography by Declan Quinn, it preserves the raw energy of the East Village bohemians facing love, AIDS, poverty, and art. [1][3]

## Cast Highlights
The final cast starred Aaron Tveit as Roger, Nicole Suih as Mimi, Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp reprising their original roles in the finale, Renée Elise Goldsberry as Mimi in highlights, and others like Matt Bogart as Tom Collins. [5][8] Standouts include a young Goldsberry's powerful performance and the ensemble's emotional intensity during live moments like "La Vie Bohème." [5]

## Availability
Stream it on platforms like Apple TV, or find full performances on YouTube (unofficial uploads). [2][7][9] As a queer cinema enthusiast, this version aligns with your interests in LGBTQ+ narratives, echoing Puccini's La Bohème amid 1990s NYC's HIV crisis. [1]
