Nicole Scherzinger is RENTing

Fresh off her win on this season's Dancing With the Stars, Nicole Scherzinger is headed to a production of the Broadway musical RENT. The show which is being produced by Neil Patrick Harris will be performed August 6 - 8, this summer at the Hollywood Bowl and Nicole will lend her talents to the role of "Maureen".

The Pussycat Dolls' frontwoman joins previously casted Vannessa Hudgens.

RENT ended on Broadway in 2008.

Rent Says Goodbye to Tony

Anyone who knows me knows that I am an absolute Renthead. They would also know that I am desperately hoping that someone gives me a plane ticket and a show ticket to see the final performance of the play September 7, 2008. (not seeing that happen however)

This past weekend at the Tony Awards, there was a tribute to Rent where the current cast, including American Idol alum Tamyra Gray, as well as the original cast, performed two numbers from the show.

Rent has previously won the following:

• Tony Award for Best Musical
• Tony Award for Best Book of a Musical: Jonathan Larson
• Tony Award for Best Original Score: Jonathan Larson
• Tony Award for Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Musical: Wilson Jermaine Heredia

It brought tears to my eyes so I wanted to share.

Enjoy!!!
