RENT
Sun, 4 Dec 2005, 01:12 pmRent opened last night at the Old Bakery in Northbridge and is running until 14th December. I will leave it to more knowledgeable people to give a detailed review but I just wanted to say .......
Yellow glass theatre have, yet again, exceeded expectations and put on the most fantastic show. The raw energy of the young cast just swept the audience away - the singing is superb and when the whole ensemble sing together it is quite breathtaking.
Many congratulations to Simon Holt (musical director) and Chris Kabay (director) for bringing this show to Perth audiences for the first time. The cast work together extremely well and, while it is unfair to pick out any individuals, special mention should go to Rhoda Lopez who sizzled as Mimi (in spite of a rather awkward costume mishap) and Julia Jenkins as Maureen whose song "Over the Moon" brought the house down.
Do not miss out!

This is the first time I've seen Rent on stage and there are not enough superlatives in the world to describe this production. I shall therefore keep it simple and say it is sublime. I cannot imagine a Broadway or West End version being any better. The Bakery venue was perfect and provided an intimate setting. Vocally it is faultless. The acting is exactly right. All due to solid and heartfelt direction by both Simon and Chris. Truly stunning.
This is an absolute Must See. I want to go again!!
GO AND SUPPORT THIS SHOW!!!!!
Thanks to cast and crew.
Cheers

PS, DON'T wear eye makeup unless it's waterproof. Not unless you want to look like a soggy and traumatised racoon by the end. If my uncontrollable sobbing put anyone on stage off, I apologise unreservedly. Oh, and try and not sit behind a woman with very BIG hair.
