Hoboken, NJ- Calling all RENTHEADS! There is “No Day But Today” when Jonathan Larson’s Pulitzer-prize winning Broadway musical RENT comes to Hoboken this February. The ground breaking rock musical is loosely based on Puccini's opera "La Bohème”.

So it was no surprise that auditions for the show brought people from all over the Tri-State Area to have the chance to play the characters that changed a generation of theatre goers. The young and talented cast bringing this beautiful show to life include Tamala Baldwin (Joanne), Noah Brendemuehl (Roger), Glen Llanes (Angel), Nicole Nicastro (Maureen), Jake Ottosen (Mark), Reny Rosado (Benny), Antoine L.
