Gwen Stewart, who was part of the original cast of the Pulitzer Prize-winning musical Rent, will return to that long-running production at the Nederlander Theatre.
Stewart, who introduced the solo vocals in the show's anthem, "Seasons of Love," will reprise her original roles beginning July 21. She will stay with the production through its final performance, which is scheduled for Sept. 7.
Gwen Stewart was also seen in the the Tony-nominated revival of Big River (NAACP Best Supporting Actress nomination/Honorary Tony for Excellence in Theatre for the ensemble) as well as in Starmites, Suds, Ain't Misbehavin', The Wiz, Avenue X and Abyssinia.
