Rent: A glorious 30th anniversary staging of the cult Broadway hit

Ostensibly you couldn’t get two more different musicals than Paddington and Jonathan Larson’s cult 1996 Broadway hit, which reimagines Puccini’s La Boheme among a group of starving New York artists, junkies and drag queens, many of them HIV-positive. But both are richly resonant urban stories about loss and finding your community, and both have been triumphantly realised by director Luke Sheppard.
