Rent Live's Brennin Hunt Injured During Dress Rehearsal, Taped Segments Will Be Used

Brennin Hunt, who is playing the role of Roger in tonight’s broadcast of Rent Live, was injured during the dress rehearsal on Saturday (January 26).

According to THR, Brennin rolled his ankle and it appears to be serious. He was taken to a local hospital and his status for the broadcast remains unknown. The musical is supposed to air live, but the show is very physically demanding and Roger is one of the leading roles.

“Last night during a live performance of Fox’s production of Rent, one of the actors, Brennin Hunt, was injured. But in the spirit of Rent, everyone — producers and cast, original and current — is dedicated to ensuring that tonight’s broadcast must, and will, go on,” Fox said in a statement.

THR is also reporting that taped segments from Saturday’s dress rehearsal will be used due to Brennin‘s injury.
