Andy Señor plays one of "Rent"'s

I would play the Angel,

(Gloria speaking)

My mom is having a fit

because I told her that

I may be going
to go put up "Rent" in Cuba.

And she's not
a big fan of that idea.

(Gloria speaking)

Each week,
almost 2,000 Cubans find

they have had enough
of Castro,

so they get out
and come to Miami, Florida.

President John F. Kennedy:
I have watched, and the
American people have watched

with deep sorrow

how your nationalist revolution
was betrayed

and how your fatherland fell
under foreign domination.

Andy:
It was known that my dad

was in favor
of what was going on
with the Cuban government.

Reporter:
This regime is based
on mass mobilization

and thought control.

Andy: Just after
the revolution,
a friend of my dad's

basically told him, listen,
if you don't get on a plane

this afternoon,
they're gonna arrest you.

And so he left,

with five dollars
in his pocket.

(in Spanish)

Andy: My mom had
a more civilized...

(chuckles)
...exit.

They had called my grandfather
saying, you know,

they had to be
at the airport in four hours

with only two changes
of clothes.

And so my mom
and my grandfather

and my sisters had
to pack up and go.

Reporter:
Since last month,

25,000 refugees
from Castro's Cuba

have come to America.

I think you need
to think about it, Andy,

because you need
to think about,

you know,
a lot of things.

Number one, your career
is important.

And you're going
to a communist country,

and you have to really
consider the boundaries

of stepping into
different, uh, waters.

There's no musical theater
that's done,

and this is like,
it's a good initiative

to, to bring over
and to, and to,

and to have them have an
art form that they haven't had.

If we're always talking about,
oh, the Cuban people,
the Cuban people,

like this is, this is

directly for
the Cuban people.

For them. With them.

Jorge: All you're doing
is helping the government.

You're not putting
the power

into the hands
of the people, Andy.

I don't have to change
the government. I could--

If-if I can just affect
a small group of people,

just by bringing a show
and just working with them,

that's my part.
That's enough.

(in Spanish)

Uh-huh.

Andy: If I agree
to go to London,

and if I agree to do it
all over the US,

if I agree to do it in China,

how am I not gonna
go do it in Cuba

where my,
where my ancestors are from,

where my,
where my family's from?

Like the-- if anywhere
there is to go

is to take it to the people
who need it the most.

You're not gonna make
an impact of any kind.

-Andy: Mm-hmm.
-This is gonna come,

the two and a half hours
are gonna finish.

-You're gonna leave Cuba.
-Andy: Yeah. Yeah.

And you're gonna leave Cuba

the same as
when you arrived.

-Perhaps even worse,
you know why?
-Andy: Possibly.

Carmen: Because they got
a taste of it.

Yeah, a little bit
of a taste of a freedom

that they will
never see again.

Carmen: Exactly,
they'll never see again.

I'm scared for you,

I think Jonathan would be
really, really thrilled

about this show
being done in Cuba.

I first got a copy
of the script,

and I got Jonathan singing
a cassette tape

of material sometime in 1993.

And what I loved
about the gig right away was

a lot of the characters
were unusual characters
for a musical.

They were young, and many
of them were struggling

with real issues of poverty.

And I was especially drawn

to then the issues involving,

uh, HIV and AIDS in the play.

HIV infection rates
are growing fastest

among minorities
in inner cities,

where it's taking longer
for the word to get out.

Reporter:
The Bush administration
remains staunchly opposed

to spending any federal money
on condom distribution

or even on research
to find out the best ways

to promote
safe sex practices.

Stop killing us!

Stop killing us!

In the late '80s
and the early '90s,

when Jonathan was working
on the play,

the disease was essentially,
uh, a death warrant.

And that's very much

potential there for a message?

A true sign
of change in Cuba,

the arts staging
a huge comeback tonight.

The Tony-winning
musical "Rent"

opened in Havana
on this Christmas Eve.

It's the first Broadway show
staged in the communist country

in more than 50 years.

Newscaster 2:
Delegations zeroed in
on reopening embassies.

There is great hope
that this will soon become

the US Embassy again.
