[instrumental “Seasons of Love”]
I’m Daphne Rubin-Vega. I was the first Mimi in RENT. And now that RENT is closing June 1st, I’m here to say hello,
say goodbye, and thank every RENThead, every fan, everybody that got it because what RENT means to me –
there’s not a day that really passes that I don’t think about or am affected by ways that the show impacted me
and actually changed my life. And I have everyone in the cast and crew and mostly, obviously,
Jonathan Larson and his family to thank for that experience. It was a precious experience.
How do you talk about something that you’ve talked about a million times and said a million times without waxing cliché?
Or “cleesh,” as I like to call it.
I hope that everyone has at least one moment in their life when they really feel their purpose
and they really feel love for who they are and what they do.
We invite you to visit our new section called “Goodbye, Love”
where you’re welcome to post your thoughts on RENT, what it meant to you, whatever you want to say.
And, again, I say thank you. I'm very grateful to be a part of this family. Goodbye, Love.
