Rent at Millfield Rent, written by the late Jonathan Larson, the cult musical inspired by Puccini's La Bohème, is back - for one night only! On Sunday 1st August, Millfield Arts Centre presents a gala celebration fundraising concert of the hit show Rent. Its musical influences range from rock to blues, gospel, soul and tango. Millfield's production features all the songs from the show. The Arts Centre is extremely fortunate to have been granted the rights to mount this concert. The show will not be seen again in Britain for at least five years. So, RENT-heads everywhere, make for Millfield! With a cast drawn from the recent touring and West End production, Rent - the Concert will capture the experience of seeing the show live. Enfield local girl, actress Debbie Kurup, currently starring in Tonight's the Night in the West End, will recreate the role of Mimi, and Jason Pennycooke, at the moment starring in The Big Life at Theatre Royal, Stratford East, will play Angel. Rent - the Concert is the realisation of a long held dream for Nick Mowat, Millfield's General Manager: "Rent is such a fantastic show musically, that staging a concert performance will hopefully enable us to raise a large sum for the theatre and at the same time give people the chance to hear an incredibly strong company sing a brilliant score." Tickets for this a gala performance of Rent - the Concert are £95. Included in the ticket price is a champagne reception and a Rent goody bag with a free programme and limited edition T-shirt. Tickets are available from the Box Office on 020 8807 6680. Please note that all three Archive indices are very long and will therefore take some time to download.
