‘Rent’ is ready to close on Broadway

NEW YORK (AP) – “No show runs forever” was one of the more astute observations of Broadway director-choreographer Michael Bennett, the man behind “A Chorus Line,” itself a model of longevity.

“Rent,” which opened in 1996, will close its Broadway run in June.

Bennett’s theater truism was re-enforced this week with the announcement that the pop-rock musical “Rent” will close June 1 after a 12-year run, 5,012 performances and an assortment of prizes and awards, including the Tony and Pulitzer — not to mentions grosses of over $280 million.
