Cinematical has just received this exclusive clip from Rent: Filmed Live on Broadway, which just ended its 12-year run in New York City earlier this month. And to celebrate the show (which I've personally seen roughly four times in those twelve years), Sony Pictures Releasing's new special programming division THE HOT TICKET is bringing the version of Rent we all know and love to select movie screens across the country.
But this isn't just the taping of some random performance -- oh no, cameras were allowed into the theater to record two special performances (one at the end of August and the final night), and it's a combo of these which will take theaters by storm beginning September 24th. You Rent-heads will only have four days to see it, though, so make sure you clear out some time on the 24th, 25th, 27th and 28th and catch a Broadway show at your local Cineplex. Heck, it's a lot cheaper than visiting New York for the weekend ... trust me on that one. For more -- including images, video, ticket and participating theater info -- head on over to the Hot Ticket official website.

Tickets are $20 at my local multiplex. Ouch. I expected it to cost the regular price.

Wonder if this is eventually coming to DVD and Blu-ray?
I didn't enjoy the film version of Rent (Aside from the music), but I think I'd like the stage version if I got a chance to see it. Wouldn't go to the theater to see this, that'd just be gay, but I'd check out the home version.

Having loved this show for years, I was bitterly disappointed in the film. They changed too much and bringing back the original cast, who were just too old to play their roles, didn't work at all. Some of the reworked music was ok, but mostly it was just lacking.
I think the energy of the show works better when its live rather than on celluloid. I may try seeing this, however.

I have seen RENT more times than I can count in the past twelve years. I love the show! The movie version was a complete disappointment even to die hard RENTHEADS like myself. However, this version, taped at the theater was incredible. I hope someone decides to release this on DVD SOON!!!
BTW aprox 20 dollars for a ticket to a show that normally costs 120 definately isn't too much.

this was crap - extremely bad camerawork, audience misled into thinking this was the final performance.

I just saw a screening of this and it was awesome. I thought the video direction for this taping was well done and can't wait to buy the Blu-ray disc when it comes out.
