Since taking fourth place behind winner Kelly Clarkson in 2003, Tamyra Gray landed a recurring role on the television series Boston Public, appeared in the Bollywood-inspired musical Bombay Dreams, and wrote the song "I Believe" for fourth-season American Idol winner Fantasia.

Original Rent cast members Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal will return to the show for a limited engagement, July 30 to September 9.
