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!

Anderson and Burdon's production of RENT is chilling. I can't think of any other word.
I saw it on Saturday night with Jennifer Hill understudying Maureen.
It blew me away. I have seen all other productions of RENT and this is by far the best interpretation ever of the show. The show is creative, poignant, loving, soulful, energetic and when the cast sings you can hear every bit of their hearts pouriing into the audience.
Jonathon Anderson who directed the show plays Roger and he is by far the best Roger ever t have hit the stage. When he hits the notes up in his high register, his emotion and obvouos love for the character rose up over everything else.
Special mentions have to go to Shan Brown as Mimi and James Glynn as Collins. Again, by far the best interpretations of these characters I have ever seen.
Please, please, please everyone go see it. You will hate yourself if you dont. And I agree with Jack - you guys belong in the Lyric Theatre. I would pay $150 a ticket to hear you guys sing again.
Totally brilliant!
