VIDEO: How Do You Measure a Cast? Meet the Company of FOX's RENT!

As BroadwayWorld reported earlier today, FOX has just announced casting for Rent, airing January 27, 2019.

The groundbreaking, Tony Award- and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical is a re-imagining of Puccini's "La Boheme," and set in New York City's gritty East Village. "Rent" tells the unforgettable story of seven artists struggling to follow their dreams during a time of great social and political turmoil. Winner of four Tony Awards and the Pulitzer Prize, writer/composer Jonathan Larson's tour de force continues to offer an inspiring message of hope and friendship.

We're getting to know the new company with videos of some of their previous work below!

Kiersey Clemons as JOANNE JEFFERSON, Maureen's girlfriend and an Ivy League- educated lawyer.
