Daytona will be hosting a musical treat on Nov. 1 with the arrival of the Broadway musical "Rent" at the Peabody Auditorium. "Rent," a modern version of the opera La Boheme, is set in New York's East Village. It's an emotionally stirring story of a community of young artists struggling to live and celebrate life. "Rent is a musical that totally transformed musicals on Broadway. It combines Rock and Roll with powerful theater and a really moving story," said Jed Resnick who plays the part of Mark in the show. This is Jed's second National and Japanese tour with the show
Now in its 12th anniversary season, "Rent" is the theatrical experience that transformed how a generation feels about musicals, changed Broadway forever and inspired a major motion picture. The show will be traveling all over the United States from Chicago, Texas, Wisconsin and much more. The show will even be making a stop in Tokyo in late December. However, they will be performing only one night in Daytona. Jed, who has been on the road for over a year doing various shows, says that, "traveling on the time can be extremely taxing. Living out of a suite case all the time is no fun, but he would do anything for the show."
Unique to this tour is the addition of Heinz Winkler and Anwar Robinson. Winckler was the winner of the first South African Idol in 2002 and the 4th place finalist in the 2003 inaugural World Idol competition, in which he competed against American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson. Robinson was the seventh place finalist on the fourth season of American Idol.
Tickets for the show usually run from $35 to $50 if you purchase them on ticketmaster before the show. However, if you are feeling lucky or broke, a select number of orchestra seats (usually in the front two rows) will be on sale for
$20 per seat on the day of each performance. There is a limit of two tickets per person, cash only, and tickets are sold two hours before performance time. People usually line up pretty early since these seats are limited.
