Rent @Campbelltown
Sun, 12 Feb 2006, 04:30 pmHeaded out to Campbelltown fri night as I read they were doing my fave show of all time, RENT!, nervous and excited to see what they had done with Larsen's brilliance... Not only did they far surpass two previous productions of RENT! I have seen recently, but made me laugh, cry and moo! They didn't just play roles, they appeared to be LIVING them... Voices were varied, but beautiful, raw and passionate, relationships unfolded before and I actually believed them - Maureen and Joanne were just perfect, not butch and sterotypical, angel and Collins ripped my heart apart and Roger and Mimi burned me! The ensemble came together tightly, voices meshed in hot harmonies which tingled the spine... all up a fantastic performance! No day but today!

Well after reading all that!! WHERE do I start --
To whoever the viewer is ..... well you sure have a problem with the director/Roger ... don't have to be einsten to work that one out!! what happened?? did you want the part as Roger & got turned down.. Is that what this is all about!!! don't YOU have a problem???!!!
I attended the show & no I am not part of the cast !!! I must admit the only thing I knew of RENT was: that it was a broadway musical about a gay community, drugs sex & alcohol & people dying of Aids-- Now me being a good Christian & over the age of 50 give me a good reason why I should see it & with a title RENT what the......???!!!
Well that was the attitude I had, when I reluctantly went along to it with friends who actually wanted to see it.....the point I'm getting at is this......... You DO NOT have to be an actor or a director or to be in that profession to know how good an actor is ....(or is not... as in your case admirer) Why would? not only myself! but other people around me feel so differently about this show to you!! we loved the show .... it was so moving & the actors were passionate & it did show (hey even if they were flat in some of their songs!! who cares???!!) The important fact was the overall -- they portrayed their characters beautifully!!! The story & everything about it did justice to Larsons brilliance. I am now an instant fan because Campbelltowns rendition of RENT & the band!! ;) well!! if I was young I'll be their groupie for life - they were awesome!!! I take my hat off to you all for such a great show. Congratulations to all - & thank you ......
