Rent is currently playing at The Nederlander theatre on Broadway (tickets priced $20-$85) and has recently finished a nationwide UK tour. Hopefully we’ll see it back on the West End soon!

All kinds of stars have come and gone through this show, most not known to the Uk audience but big in america.
With simplistic style yet cntroversial ...
