Interview: 'An Iconic Role Like This Can Be Daunting': Actor Billy Nevers On The West End Revival of RENT
by Kat Mokrynski - Oct 23, 2026

To celebrate its 30th anniversary, one of the most beloved musicals of all time, RENT, has returned to the West End. Written by Jonathan Larson, the Tony- and Pulitzer Prize-winning show - inspired by Puccini’s La bohème - follows the lives of a group of young people living in New York City in the 1990s. Recently, we had the chance to speak with Billy Nevers, who plays Tom Collins in this production of RENT. We discussed what it has been like to take on such an iconic musical, his favourite songs from the show to perform and listen to and even what it was like to rehearse for this show whilst in Jesus Christ Superstar!

by Aliya Al-Hassan - Oct 8, 2026

It's been a long wait since London last saw Jonathan Larson's semi-autobiographical rock masterpiece that won four Tony Awards and a posthumous Pulitzer. It's unlikely that any of the cast of the 30th anniversary revival of RENT was out of nappies when the show debuted off-Broadway, but the themes of young people struggling with the cost of living, navigating jobs and relationships, as well as living in the aftermath of the pandemic (albeit this one is AIDS), are evergreen.
