Keala Settle will perform the iconic solo from “Seasons

The groundbreaking, Tony Award- and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical
is a re-imagining of Puccini’s “La Bohème,” and set in New York
City’s gritty East Village. “Rent” tells the unforgettable
story of seven artists struggling to follow their dreams during
a time of great social and political turmoil. Winner of four
Tony Awards and the Pulitzer Prize, writer/composer Jonathan
Larson’s tour de force continues to offer an inspiring message
of hope and friendship.
The television adaptation will be broadcast live from the historic
Fox Studios in Los Angeles. Acclaimed film, television and theater
producer Marc Platt (“Mary Poppins Returns,” “Jesus Christ
Superstar Live in Concert,” “Grease: Live,” “La La Land,” “Wicked”),
along with the estate of writer/composer Jonathan Larson,
will executive-produce the event. Tony Award-nominated director
Michael Greif (“Dear Evan Hansen,” “Rent”), who directed
the original New York Theatre Workshop and Broadway productions
of “Rent,” is the director overseeing the stage direction; and
Alex Rudzinski (“Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert,”
“Grease: Live,” “Dancing with the Stars”) will serve as the
live television director.
In addition to Greif, creative team members from the original
Broadway production of “Rent” returning for the television adaptation
include Emmy Award-winning casting director Bernie Telseyand
costume designer Angela Wendt. Additional creative team
members include Obie Award winner Kristoffer Diaz writing
the adaptation for television, Emmy Award winner Al Gurdon
as lighting designer, Tony Award and Grammy Award winner
Stephen Oremus as music director and producer, Jason

Kevin McCollum, Allan S. Gordon and New York Theatre
Workshop.

Platt, Adam Siegel, Julie Larson, Allan
Larson and Revolution Studios’ Vince Totino, Scott
