Every day this December, Playbill will be getting into the spirit of the season with 31 Days of Holiday Cheer—sharing some of our favorite music videos from Broadway stars. Check in daily for classic tunes and new songs about Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Year's. And we even have some surprise new, original Playbill videos to share.
We're a week past December 24, 9 PM, Eastern Standard Time, so that can only mean one thing...it's gonna be a "Happy New Year."
In the video above, the final Broadway cast of Rent performs that song, captured September 7, 2008, on the long-running hit's final performance. The entire film, Rent: Filmed Live on Broadway, is available for purchase on several streaming platforms.
The 2008 cast of the Jonathan Larson Pulitzer-winning musical includes Will Chase as Roger Davis, Renée Elise Goldsberry as Mimi Marquez, Adam Kantor as Mark Cohen, Eden Espinoza as Maureen Johnson, Tracie Thoms as Joanne Jefferson, Michael McElroy as Thomas B. "Tom" Collins, Justin Johnston as Angel Dumott-Schunard, and Rodney Hicks as Benjamin "Benny" Coffin III.
