Minutes tick down as end nears for 'Rent' on Broadway

The minutes are ticking down and “Rent” will play its final performance on Broadway on Sunday.

Ticketmaster still has seats on sale through Saturday ranging from $20 to $110 each. There are also premium tickets for $250.

Jonathan Larson’s musical got its start at the New York Theatre Workshop and had its opening night on Broadway on April 29, 1996, according to The Broadway League’s profile of the musical.

Playbill’s July 2008 list of longest-running shows in Broadway history had “Rent” at No. 7, still about 300 performances behind “Beauty and the Beast,” which closed in 2007.

It plays the Nederlander Theatre, 208 W. 41st St., map.
