Celebrating 30 years since the musical premiered on Broadway, RENT began preview performances at the newly renamed Tom Stoppard Theatre on 26 September 2026. It stars Gaten Matarazzo as Mark, Travis Ross as Roger, Alexa Lopez as Mimi, Billy Nevers as Collins, Lazy Violet as Maureen, Olivier Award nominee Danielle Fiamanya as Joanne, Jeevan Braich as Angel and Joaquin Pedro Valdes as Benny.

RENT follows a group of impoverished young bohemians living in Manhattan's East Village, navigating love and loss, trying to make it as artists while grappling with the realities of poverty, and living with the invisible, inevitable threat of HIV/AIDS.

With a book, music, and lyrics by Jonathan Larson, this highly anticipated revival is directed by WhatsOnStage and Olivier Award winner Luke Sheppard, with choreography by Tom Jackson Greaves, set design by David Woodhead, costume design by Gabriella Slade, lighting design by Howard Hudson, audio production and sound design by Paul Gatehouse, video design and cinematography by George Reeve and Nathan Amzi, make-up and hair design by Jackie Saundercock, and musical supervision and orchestration by Bill Sherman.

RENT is now playing at the Tom Stoppard Theatre until 29 May 2027.
