Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp—who created the roles of, respectively,
Roger and Mark in the original Broadway production of the Tony-winning
musical Rent—will return to 54 Below next year with a new concert act.
The duo, who previously offered Celebrating Friendship & History and In Resonance at the Manhattan venue, will now turn their talents to classics of the 1980s in a show titled Celebrating 1980s Inspirations and Rent.
Performances at 54 Below are scheduled for January 12–16, 2027. Show time each night is 7 PM.
In an earlier interview with Playbill, Pascal spoke about his long friendship with his Rent co-star, explaining, “I’m so grateful for the relationship that Anthony
and I have, and have had, all of these years. We still love to perform
together, and people seem to want to see us do that. I’m very grateful
for him and for these shows that he and I have been able to do for all
of these years. We’re intimately familiar with each other’s performing
style and how the alchemy of the two of us together works so well.”
Pascal, lately busy directing various productions around the country, has also been seen on Broadway in Pretty Woman: The Musical, Disaster!, Something Rotten!, Memphis, Chicago, and Aida.
Rapp’s Broadway credits also include If/Then; You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown; Six Degrees of Separation; Precious Sons; and The Little Prince and the Aviator.
