Curve announces summer production RENT: THE CONCERT

RENT the Concert

A brand new concert production of Rent is to be staged at Curve in Leicester this summer, running from 10-21 August 2021.

Directed by Curve’s Artistic Director Nikolai Foster, Jonathan Larson’s award-winning musical will be staged in-the-round in the venue’s newly configured auditorium.

Curve’s Chief Executive Chris Stafford and Nikolai Foster said: “As we emerge from this pandemic, it feels timely to reflect on the resilience and courage which defined the lives of so many during the 1980s HIV/AIDS pandemic. Jonathan Larson’s astonishing Pulitzer Prize winning musical RENT represents one of musical theatre’s greatest triumphs, defining an entire era through its blazing music and iconic characters. It is simply one of the greats and we are thrilled to present it in a staged concert at Curve, in our epic, in-the-round arena. Celebrating community, the exhilarating joy of music, the power of artists and the sheer life force of young people, we are looking forward to literally raising the roof this summer at Curve.”

The cast and further members of the creative team will be announced shortly.

Tickets for Rent: The Concert will go on sale to Curve Friends on Wednesday 28 April, Supporters on Thursday 29 April and Members on Friday 30 April. Tickets will go on general sale from Tuesday 4 May, all at 12 noon here.
