The smash hit musical RENT is coming to Melbourne! To be staged at Chapel off Chapel for a strictly limited season. With an inspirational message of joy and hope in the face of fear, this timeless celebration of friendship and creativity is still a relevant story for a modern audience.

The Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize winning musical follows a year in the life of a group of friends struggling to make it in New York’s East Village, whose dreams and heartbreak intertwine in the shadow of HIV and AIDS.

Cameron Steens - Performer - Benjamin “Benny” Coffin III
