The "Rent" is not yet paid

You would think Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal had no other career.

No, forget what you would think. I, me, Evan Henerson think Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal have no career.

And the reason I think this is because of an announcement that the two actors would revisit their roles of Mark Cohen and Roger Davis in a national tour of "Rent" to kick off in 2009.

Revisit roles that they recently took up again on Broadway during the summer of 2007 and in the 2005 Christopher Columbus film.

Revisit roles that they created back in 1996 when Pascal was 26 and Rapp was 25. The musical, for those who live under rocks, is about young bohemians living and loving amidst AIDS and poverty in NYC.

Young bohemians. Not bohemians who are on the back end of 40.

The curtain rings down on the Broadway company of "Rent" in June bringing, yes, an end to an era and eliminating what was apparently an off-and-on steady gig for Messrs. Pascal and Rapp. I suspect the tour will take them through L.A. yet again. Pay the rent. One more (yawn!) time.

Bohemians never really die. They just go on the road.
