The gutsy little theater on East 4th Street, just in recent seasons, has produced shows like Slave Play, Once , and Hadestown, all of which later traveled uptown to play successfully on Broadway. Its primary impact on the theatrical Zeitgeist, though, struck way back in 1996, with the super-blockbuster Rent , Jonathan Larson’s rock adaptation of Puccini’s La Bohème. To celebrate the show’s silver anniversary, NYTW organized its annual fundraising benefit as a kind of birthday celebration. Between solicitations for donations, it invited current workshop collaborators to talk about Rent ’s impact on their work, Zoomed with old cast and crew members to share their memories of making the show, and presented new interpretations of a few Rent songs by the current crop of Broadway stars. Daphne Rubin-Vega videoed in, looking divine, to reminisce fondly about calling Larson a dork, while Anthony Rapp and Idina Menzel talked about the smash-cut adjustment of going from obscurity (he at Starbucks, she singing at bar mitzvahs) to working on the decade’s buzziest musical. Original cast members Rodney Hicks, Aiko Nakasone, and Fredi Walker-Browne all talked about their abiding love of the material. It was, to put it mildly, an emotional evening.

HIGH: Christopher Jackson’s “One Song Glory” The show started with the usual benefit business — though in pandemic times, this means footage of founding artistic director Jim Nicola walking into his own theater for the first time in a year. There, he chatted with Rent director Michael Greif, and the audience was offered a bit of introductory history, including … [Read more...] about The Highs and Lows of NYTW’s
