RENT The Musical Celebrates 30 Years with Intimate, Immersive Production Directed by Original Broadway Cast Member



Director Rodney Hicks Reimagines A Radical Love Story That Changed Musical Theater and Sparked a Generation of AIDS Awareness


​Ballyhoo Table & Stage is proud to announce a bold, fresh take on RENT, the Pulitzer Prize– and Tony Award–winning musical, running for a very limited engagement July–August 2026. This production commemorates the 30th anniversary of Jonathan Larson’s groundbreaking work that forever changed musical theater and continues to resonate across generations.

This special anniversary staging is directed by award-winning artist Rodney Hicks, a member of RENT’s original and closing Broadway casts, (also original Broadway casts Come From Away, The Scottsboro Boys, 2000 Broadway revival of Jesus Christ Superstar), bringing unparalleled authenticity and deep personal connection to the material. Choreography by Broadway veteran, Noah Racey (Thoroughly Modern Millie, Curtains, Never Gonna Dance and Follies). Music direction by acclaimed music director and composer David Nehls, (Great American Trailer Park Musical). The production is presented by award-winning Give 5 Productions, (Hedwig and the Angry Inch) with Julia Tobey serving as Executive Producer.​Reimagined as an intimate, immersive theatrical experience, RENT at Ballyhoo will place audiences directly inside the heart of the story, where the characters will be within, in front of, in back of, the audience watching this groundbreaking musical, where love, loss, art, activism, and chosen family will be live, up close, and personal.
