Rent to rock your TV
Hey, Rent-heads, it’s time for your next shot of musical-theater adrenaline. That show you love with all your being will be resurrected for another, quite brief, revival, when Fox does the live-musical-on-TV thing with it on Sunday, January 27, 2019. If you’re still unaware about what is Rent, the smash ’90s Tony Award- and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical is based on La Boheme and revolves around a group of artists, many of them queer, in desperate financial, emotional and physical conditions in pre-gentrification New York.
For this version a new young cast has been assembled, and includes Kiersey Clemons (Hearts Beat Loud), Brandon Victor Dixon (Hamilton), Jordan Fisher (The Secret Life of the American Teenager), Vanessa Hudgens (Grease: Live), singers Mario (Empire) and Tinashe (you know, from the song “2 On”), RuPaul’s Drag Race alum Valentina, and Keala Settle, who played the bearded lady in The Greatest Showman. Now that’s a strong cast of voices, and we’re glad we don’t have to wait 525,600 minutes to see them do their thing.
Foster’s spinoff delivers a dose of Good Trouble
We told you a while back that Good Trouble was coming. It’s the spinoff from The Fosters that follows Callie (Maia Mitchell) and Mariana (Cierra Ramirez) as they move to Los Angeles and get into grown-up situations. Well now there’s a debut date: January 8, 2019, on Freeform, so you can arrange your calendar. Crazy Rich Asians director Jon M. Chu directed and executive produced the pilot. The LGBTQ team of Peter Paige (Queer as Folk), Joanna Johnson and Bradley Bredeweg return as co-creators and showrunners.
And yes, to answer your most burning question, pop culture “It Boy” Noah Centineo will resume his role as Jesus. Mostly, though, we’re happy that this adorable fictional family gets to live on in a new show, because we want to grow old with them. If Netflix can bring back Gilmore Girls for however many updates, then the TV gods can make this happen, too.
Romeo San Vicente cant wait for RENT to hit the small screen!
