But this year's "Rent" promises to be "newer, fresher and bolder in approach" under the direction of Robbie Guevara.
Written by Jonathan Larson, "Rent" won a Pulitzer Prize and a Tony Award. It is about a group of starving bohemian artists struggling with life and the deadly disease AIDS. Love and hope are the musical's themes which resonate in songs like the timeless hit "Seasons of Love".
Gian Magdangal reprises his role as the songwriter Roger Davis. His real-life girlfriend Sheree Bautista will play Mimi Marquez again, a dancer from the Cat Scratch Club who gets afflicted with AIDS. Ciara Sotto will alternate with Bautista for the said role.
Also in the cast are Carla Guevara-Laforteza, Fredison Lo, OJ Mariano, Job Bautista, Jenny Villegas, Mian Dimacali, and Lorenz Martinez, among others.
"Rent", presented through special arrangement with New York-based Music Theatre International, will be back onstage in the next 3 weekends: February 18-20, 25-27, and March 4-6.
