"Instead of spending money on theater tickets, dinner out and parking, customers can access an exciting Broadway show from the comfort of their homes," said Janet Barnard, senior vice president and general manager of Cox Communications Northern Virginia. "Fans who didn't have a chance to see the original musical RENT on Broadway, and those that did see it and just want to relive the experience or share it with others, will love this presentation."

Filmed in New York's Nederlander Theatre shortly before the play closed last September and featuring footage from the show's final Broadway performance, this telecast captures the electricity and colorful authenticity of the original stage production that played to sold out audiences. The show, along with extra behind-the-scenes video content, will air via PPV from Feb. 7 to Feb. 17, and will then be available On DEMAND beginning on Feb. 18. For more information or to link to video, go to www.indemand.com.

"Cox's digital services allow our customers access to exciting events they wouldn't normally get to be a part of - including this special presentation of RENT - all with the click of a remote," noted Barnard.
