I'm wondering about information on the December 2001-March 2002 London production of RENT directed by Paul Kerryson. Does anyone know anything about this show? I was amazed that they let a production without the original direction and design out already, let alone in London where it wasn't a hit.

It was 95% the original production with very small teaks- mostly to save money, (no mezz usr).

Debbie Krudup was Mimi, Adam Rickett was Mark, Neil Couperthwaite was Angel.

It was a pale imitation of the original, dumbed down for the regional tour.
