‘Rent’ will be directed by Broadway veteran Thom Allison, a source close to the production told the Star.
“Rent,” the Pulitzer Prize-winning rock musical that changed the face of Broadway when it premiered more than a quarter century ago, will be part of the Stratford Festival’s 2023 season, the Star has learned.
“We are planning to produce ‘Rent’ and ‘Spamalot.’ However, we are still negotiating with the rights holders and the creative teams,” Ann Swerdfager, the festival’s publicity director, confirmed in a statement to the Star. The Stratford Festival production will be directed by Broadway veteran Thom Allison, a source close to the production told the Star. The 2023 production is a homecoming of sorts for Allison, who was a member of the original Canadian company of “Rent” that premiered in Toronto in 1997, before touring to Ottawa and Vancouver. He also starred in a 2010 regional production of the musical in Winnipeg.
