It is true that Rent has ended its long run on Broadway, but the show is far from dead as can be discerned from the fact that Renee Elise Goldsberry has just joined the cast of this show in the role of “Mimi.”

Soap opera fans may know Renee Elise Goldsberry for her four year stint playing the role of Evangeline Wliliamson on “One Life to Live” but Goldsberry created the role of Nettie in “The Color Purple” on Broadway and won accolades for her portrayal of Silvia in “Two Gentlemen of Verona.” You know you aren’t going to want to miss this chance to see her play Mimi through June 15.
