London’s Rent Revival

Previews begin tonight for the much anticipated revival of the hit Broadway musical Rent in London.  The re-configured production will feature actors Denise Can Outen and Siobhan Donaghy and will officially open on October 15 for audiences to enjoy.  This particular revival marks the very first time that a professional staging of the show has been reworked from the original production.  In other words it’s almost like a complete makeover for the revered production that has been playing for years on Broadway and is now an extremely famous musical.

Van Outen plays the role of Maureen in the musical and previously she was known for playing the role of Roxie Hart in “Chicago”  though she was last seen onstage in the Andrew Lloyd Webber production “Tell Me On a Sunday” and she was also a panelist in the BBC’s reality show “Any Dream will Do.”  Her co-star in Rent, Siobhan Donaghy, is a founding member of Sugababes and is a renowned actor.  The musical score is superb for this production and will leave you singing along with all of the cast members on stage.  See what this revival is all about and don’t forget about the original.  Get your Rent tickets at Stubhub.com.
