Thirty years after it redefined musical theatre, Jonathan Larson's groundbreaking musical RENT bursts back onto the West End in a bold new production directed by Luke Sheppard (& Juliet, Paddington The Musical) and starring Gaten Matarazzo (Stranger Things) as Mark.

Set in New York's East Village, RENT follows a group of young artists, musicians and friends, navigating love, ambition and creativity while trying to build lives on their own terms. Inspired by Puccini's La Bohème, this iconic musical captures the joy, uncertainty and resilience of a generation determined to make every moment count.

Joining Gaten Matarazzo as Mark, will be Travis Ross as Roger, Bella Brown as Mimi, Billy Nevers as Collins, Lazy Violet as Maureen, Danielle Fiamanya as Joanne, Jeevan Braich as Angel and Joaquin Pedro Valdes as Benny. Further casting to be announced soon.

Featuring an unforgettable score and a story that continues to resonate, RENT is a powerful celebration of community, connection and a call to live every minute as if it were your last.

No day but today.

This production contains adult themes including HIV/AIDS, bereavement, addiction, suicide and sexual content, alongside strong language, smoking, haze and strobe effects - recommendation 14+.
