THEATER: 'Rent' gets its first extension
Due to insane fans and compulsive ticket buyers, 'Rent' has been extended through September 7. Great news, but you have to wonder—are they going to keep pushing back the final perf date in an effort to get people to run out and urgently buy tix? That's proving the show has fans, so why not just stay open?
This little scare tactic seems to be a favorite of Broadway classics on their way out.
Soon, we'll be seeing signs saying "RENT CLOSING! FINAL PERFORMANCE AUGUST 2012!"
And people will RUN to the box office.
If you were one of the believers that 'Rent' was actually closing on June 1st, you do have the option of exchanging your tickets, so as to catch it in its "final" week(s).
Playbill.com tells you how, and fills you in on the full extension story.
