Original RENT stars Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal will reunite in London this October as part of a special RENT 30th Anniversary Celebration at Musical Con 2026.
Taking place at ExCeL London on 17 and 18 October 2026, the world’s largest musical theatre fan convention will welcome the pair across both days of the event.
Rapp and Pascal originated the roles of Mark Cohen and Roger Davis in Jonathan Larson’s RENT when it premiered on Broadway in 1996. They later appeared in the original London production at the Shaftesbury Theatre before reprising their roles for the 2005 film adaptation.
As part of the anniversary celebration, the two performers will appear on stage together to perform live, discuss the enduring legacy of the musical and reflect on their three-decade journey with the show.
Fans will also have the opportunity to meet both stars through dedicated Meet & Greet experiences, available separately to Musical Con day and weekend ticket holders.
The appearance forms part of the fifth anniversary edition of Musical Con, which brings together performers, productions and musical theatre fans for a weekend of live performances, interviews, workshops, exhibitions, competitions and interactive experiences.
Co-founders Shanay Holmes and Chris Steward said: “RENT has an extraordinary legacy and continues to mean so much to audiences around the world. To welcome Anthony and Adam to Musical Con, 30 years after they originated these iconic roles on Broadway, is incredibly special. As we celebrate five years of Musical Con, we couldn’t think of a more exciting way to mark the occasion than bringing the original Mark and Roger together in London to celebrate RENT.”
Further guests and programming for Musical Con 2026 will be announced in the coming weeks.
