No Day But Today!

30th Anniversary production! You heard that right, RENTheads, after last being seen in the West End in 1999, RENT is returning to London!

Electrifying the musical theatre landscape when it premiered on Broadway back in 1996, Jonathan Larson's Pulitzer and Tony-winning RENT remains an unmissable experience to this day. Bursting with energy and a rocking score, Rent tells the story of a band of young artists living in New York, who are determined to overcome the fear of HIV that hangs over them.

Driven by an energetic pace that never lets up, Rent is overflowing with great songs and characters and ultimately forms an electrifying portrait of life and love flourishing in the face of adversity.

Rent originally opened amidst tragedy, with its author, Jonathan Larson, dying unexpectedly just hours before the show's Off-Broadway premiere. The huge acclaim which greeted his creation ensured his place in theatrical history, though, with Variety calling it "the best show in years, if not decades". Rent was subsequently adapted for the screen in 2005, with many of the original Broadway cast, including Idina Menzel, Taye Diggs, and Anthony Rapp, reprising their roles.

What Is The Story Of Rent?

Like its inspiration, Puccini's La Boheme, Rent follows the lives of a band of bohemians who are struggling to keep their heads above water. In this version, they're living in modern-day New York, and the oppressive spectre of HIV/AIDs, rather than tuberculosis, hangs over them.

The starving artists include film-maker Mark, whose girlfriend Maureen has left him for another woman, and his HIV positive roommate Roger, who is trying to write "the" song before dying. Roger is also caught in the midst of a whirlwind relationship with S&M dancer and heroin addict Mimi.
