Rent, the landmark Broadway musical that melded rock and story and character like no other musical before, is back in Manila! After a five-year absence in Philippine theater, it's creating a big buzz with its upcoming February 2010 run.

Rent is produced by 9 Works Theatrical and directed by theater veteran, Robbie Guevarra. The talented cast includes Gian Magdangal as songwriter Roger Davis, Fred Lo as filmmaker Mark Cohen and Nicole Laurel Asensio as dancer Mimi. Cara Barredo will also perform Mimi in select shows.
The cast will also feature OJ Mariano as Tom Collins, Carla Guevara-Laforteza as Maureen Johnson, Noel Rayos as Benny Coffin, Job Bautista as Angel Schunard and Jenny Villegas as Joanne.
