RENT

Jason appeared in the role of Benny in this award winning musical in the record-breaking original UK tour (2001) and in two successful runs in London's West End (2002 & 2003) at the Prince of Wales Theatre.

The hit musical about Manhattan bohemians in the age of drugs and AIDS (drawn loosely from the Puccini opera La Boheme) burst onto the scene in the mid 1990's. Critics and fans embraced the sparse, pulsing, off-Broadway musical.

It won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, moved to Broadway's Nederlander Theatre and won both Best Musical and Best Score Tony Awards, among others.

"Rent" is the story of two struggling artists; Roger, a musician, and Mark, a film maker. Best friends and roommates living in inner-city New York at the end of the millennium, they face the possibility of being evicted by their former friend and roommate, Benny.
