Eduardo Placer Takes Over as Angel in David Cromer-Helmed Rent
Eduardo Placer takes over the role of Angel in the American Theater Company (ATC) and About Face Theatre co-production of Jonathan Larson’s Rent, currently performing at ATC. He replaces the previously reported Esteban Cruz, who has had to permanently leave the cast for undisclosed personal reasons.
The 1996 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning rock opera is set at the end of the 1980’s, as a group of Bohemian artists struggle to find life, love and art in a brutal economy and the height of the AIDS crisis.
David Cromer has directed the musical, which also features Alex Agard (Tom Collins), Lili-Anne Brown (JoAnne), Grace Gealey (Mimi), Aileen May (Maureen), Tony Santiago (Benjamin Coffin III), Alan Schmuckler (Mark Cohen), and Derrick Trumbly (Roger), along with Karla Beard, Aaron Nelson, Danielle Plisz, Tyler Ravelson, Steve Tomlitz, Anji White and Luke Wygodny.
