 Set in New York City in the ’90s, the smash Broadway musical Rent, is relevant to Portland audiences in almost any decade. And it has returned to the stage with original cast members Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal.
The opening night party was last night, but there’s still plenty of time to catch the show. Check out my write-up from Just Out:
