A few weeks ago I went to The Old Rep to see producer Neri’s production of Rent.
The production has been created completely in Birmingham, with Neri making it his goal to cast local singers and actors from across the region.
This was partly why I chose to buy tickets - I’d never see Rent in any form before, but was intrigued with how someone could make one of the most relevant musicals of today’s society feel as though it was part of the midlands.
