NEW YORK (Reuters) - The award-winning Broadway musical "Rent" will end its 12-year-run in New York this June, according to an announcement on the production's Web site.

The musical, composed by Jonathan Larson, chronicles the struggles of a group of young artists in New York.

"Rent" won a raft of awards following its April 1996 Broadway debut, including a Pulitzer Prize for Drama, four Tony Awards and the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Musical.

I saw it on broadway a few years ago. Pretty good show plus I had only paid like $10 for tickets.

I'm actually surprised that it's closing. I work close to where it plays, and always see a large group of people waiting to get in for that show.

I was fortunate enough to see it twice on Broadway. Fantastic show. 12 years is impressive, though.
