Given it was one of the fastest selling shows at Hayes Theatre Co in the venues history, it was not all that surprising when Highway Run Productions announced a second season of the show back in October. This encore season is to start on March 29, for a strictly limited three-week season.

But as there have been several months since the show last performed, there have been a few cast changes – offering new opportunities for actors to perform in this powerful production. Joining the cast in the roles of Mimi and Joanne are Angelique Cassimatis (Rocky Horror Show, King Kong, Strictly Ballroom) and Chloe Zuel (Les Miserables, Legally Blonde, Hairspray), both who are currently starring in Little Shop of Horrors. They will be joined by Ayeesha Ash (Bell Shakespeare Players) and recent WAAPA graduate Heather Manley, who will be performing in ensemble roles.

But of course, there shall be many familiar faces in the mix. Stephen Madsen reprises his role as Mark, while Linden Furnel is returning as Roger. Laura Bunting, Chris Scalzo, Nana Matapule and Matthew Pearce will reprise their roles of Maureen, Angel, Collins and Benny, respectively. Completing the cast are Denise Devlin, Josh Gardiner, Jack O’Riley and Chloe Wilson.

We knew that we had created something special, but we didn’t expect for the show to be received with such passion and enthusiasm. RENT is a story of love and acceptance and the cast fully embraced this. They formed a beautiful family just like the characters they were playing and we’re excited to welcome four new members into this loved-up group of bohemians.
