Some people just haven't recovered after the hit musical Rent closed last year, ending a run of 5,124 performances. For these people, there will be no more singing "Today 4 U" mournfully in Lower East Side alleyways, longing for Roger and Mimi and company to return - Rent will be revived Off-Broadway next year. It'll feature all new cast members and the original director, Michael Greif, will be returning. Though cast luminaries like Taye Diggs and Idina Menzel will surely be missed, there's nothing wrong with injecting a little youth and vigor into the production.All the die-hard fans with "No Day But Today" tattoos and original Rent t-shirts won't want to miss the new production, scheduled to run at New World Stages next June after the Tony Awards.
