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

Inspired by Puccini’s La Bohème, this iconic musical captures the joy, uncertainty and resilience of a generation determined to make every moment count.

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.

Further casting to be announced.
