Brennin Hunt<\/strong>, Roger in Fox’s live musical production of the acclaimed musical Rent<\/em>, rolled his ankle during dress rehearsal ahead of the Sunday, Jan. 27 telecast.<\/p>\n

“Last night during a live performance of Fox’s production of Rent<\/em>, one of the actors, Brennin Hunt, was injured.

According to THR<\/a>, portions of the live telecast will be from taped segments to accommodate Hunt’s injury. There is no understudy. Julie Larson<\/strong>, sister to composer and playwright Jonathan Larson<\/strong>, the man behind Rent<\/em>, commented on Hunt’s injury in a statement.

“The experience of putting together this beautiful new production of my brother’s work, while emotional, has been truly joyous for all of us. This new cast has embodied the spirit of the show from day one and they embraced Brennin with positive and uplifting love in his moment of need. Rent<\/em> has always been about resilience and community. I speak from my heart when I say that we have a spectacular show for you tonight. We can’t wait for a new generation to experience Jonathan’s legacy,” Larson, who is also an executive producer on the live production, said in a statement.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
