Rent: now booking through to 23 Mar 2008


The Broadway musical Rent, winner of the 1996 Tony for Best Musical, is now taking bookings through to 23 Mar 2008 at the Nederlander Theatre.

Rent, written by Jonathan Larson, opened at Broadway�s Nederlander Theatre on 29 Apr 1996 following a sold out, extended limited engagement at off-Broadway�s New York Theatre Workshop.

Rent is the story of Le Boheme retold about poor New Yorkers on Lower East Side with a different ending.

The musical currently features original cast members Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp, who originated the roles of Roger Davis and Mark Cohen, respectively, in the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning musical. The duo, who returned to the show on 30 Jul 2007, are to comtinue with the production through to 7 Oct 2007.

Directed by Michael Greif and choreographed by Marlies Yearby, Rent also features Nicolette Hart (Maureen), Tonya Dixon (Joanne), D'Monroe (Benny), Troy Horne (Collins), Justin Johnston (Angel) and Tamyra Gray (Mimi.)

In a recent review of Rent New York Theatre Guide wrote "It remains fresh for new audiences through its sheer exuberance and its longer running themes of tolerance and understanding."

The show has set design by Paul Clay, costumes by Angela Wendt and lighting by Blake Burba.
