“La Vie Boheme” is coming to living rooms around the world from Manchester, England. Hope Mill Theatre will release a ticketed stream of Jonathan Larson’s Pulitzer Prize and Tony-winning musical Rent in late November and December, filmed during its run at the venue.
Rent will be captured by Umbrella Rooms, and streams Fridays–Sundays November 27–December 20 at 2:30 PM ET (7:30 PM GMT).
Starring in the production are Olivier-nominated Six alums Millie O’Connell as Maureen and Maiya Quansah-Breed as Mimi, Jocasta Almgill as Joanne, Blake Patrick Anderson as Mark, Tom Francis as Roger, Ahmed Hamad as Benny, Dom Hartley-Harris as Collins, and Alex Thomas-Smith as Angel. Rounding out the cast are Allie Daniel, Isaac Hesketh, and Bethany Terry.
The 12 company members will be tested for COVID-19 prior to being quarantined together for the length of the run. Hope Mill will reduce audience capacity by 50 percent in addition to other preventative measures in adherence with government health and safety guidelines.
Luke Sheppard directs; the creative team also includes choreographer Tom Jackson Greaves, musical supervisor Katy Richardson, musical director Chris Poon, set and costume designer David Woodhead, lighting designer Howard Hudson, sound designer Paul Gatehouse, projection designer George Reeve, assistant director Priya Appleby, costume supervisor Ester Mangas, production photographer Dujonna Gift-Simms, and make up and wigs designer Jackie Saundercock. Casting is by Pearson Casting.
NPR's Kenny Malone, composer Kit Goldstein Grant, and actor Sebastian Treviño tell the origin story of the audio musical about the sonic avenger, Micro-Face.
Find out when you can stream the sequel to the 1993 cult favorite, starring starring original cast members Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy.
The Great Performances broadcast features interviews with Tony winners Patti LuPone, Katrina Lenk, Marianne Elliott, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and the late Sondheim.
Produced by New York Public Library's Theatre on Film and Tape, the stream will be the first time the interview has been seen outside of the library walls.
Known for their inventive Off-Broadway revivals of Into the Woods and Merrily We Roll Along, the theatre celebrates the late composer and lyricist with this streamed event.
