Lead Actor Takes Reprieve From RENT
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASENew York, NY -- November 22, 2003Lead Actor Takes Reprieve From RENTActor/singer Ryan Link, who has been playing "Roger Davis" in the Broadway company of the hit rock musical RENT since September, announced today he is taking a medical leave from the show.
Citing vocal health issues, including "recurrent laryngitis, hoarseness and pre-nodular edema", Link has reached an agreement with the production team to "suspend and extend" his contract, and will resume performances on January 4, 2004.
He has not performed since November 10.In a "rock opera" notorious for inflicting vocal strain upon many of its actors, leaves of absence are common, particularly for this role.
"RENT is a tough show to sing 8 times a week, twice a day on weekends," says Link.
"It requires a larynx of steel.
Classical opera singers get triple-cast and have a couple of days to rest between shows -- and they're not rocking out like we are."Link is working with a vocal coach to strengthen his technique, and is confident he will return with renewed vigor and endurance when he concludes his rest period.
He joined the cast of RENT just two months ago; this is his first starring role, as well as his Broadway debut.In his absence, fellow performer Jeremy Kushnier has been called in to substitute.
Kushnier has played "Roger" previously, most recently on the 2nd national tour of RENT, and is also known for originating the role of "Ren" in Footloose on Broadway.
Link recently understudied Kushnier in the role of "Radames" on the national tour of Elton John and Tim Rice's Aida, which closed in August in Milwaukee.Link's contract with the Tony-winning RENT, originally through February 1, will be extended through April 1, 2004, once he returns to work.

Off Broadway Shows
Off Broadway shows refer to offbeat and experimental theatrical shows (musicals, stage shows and plays) in theaters, which are not in Broadway theatrical territory. The classification of a theatre as off-Broadway is determined by the contract terms and conditions lay down by the Actors Equity guild. Usually the off-Broadway theater has a capacity of 100 to 400 seats. The production costs of these shows are usually lower than the Broadway shows.
However, they are more expensive than off-off-Broadway shows.
These shows are also not very aggressively advertised. These offbeat shows offer a stage actor a good platform to showcase his or her talent. Since acting in these shows is challenging, they draw actors from the mainstream as well.
Many off-Broadway shows have been very successful and have come to be readapted and run as Broadway shows. Musicals like Avenue Q, Rent, Hair and Little Shop of Horrors and plays like Doubt and I Am My Own Wife are some of...

Broadway Shows
Broadway shows refer to the most premium form of theatrical performance (both musicals and plays) staged in the theatrical district of Broadway (namely Midtown, and the theaters in and around Times Square). Not all theaters in that area qualify as Broadway theaters. This classification is determined by the terms and conditions of the Actors Equity guild. The 39 large theaters that qualify as Broadway theaters and stage Broadway shows have a capacity of 500 or more seats.
Broadway shows have tremendous mass appeal and are generally produced by professional production houses like Fox, the Walt Disney Company and the Schubert Organization, and theater groups like Manhattan Theatre club.
They are extravagant shows involving expensive production and rely heavily on commercial success; they are mostly performed by stage artists. However, with the huge popularity they command have even movie actors are roped in easily for premium shows.
