Headed 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!

Hello

Jonathon Anderson here

"Burdon" is involved in the company on an administration level now, he is no longer working with the direct public, rather one on one with myself. Before you say anything, I do not want to hear any "oh thats a relief" etc etc because Im really quite over it. I am now running the creative director role if you will, so I am still directing the productions and trying to get them on stage and figuring out ways of doing that.

The majority of the RENT cast will return to the stage in July for a production of CABARET with some new additions etc which I am looking forward to. We also hope to stage Calamity Jane as our end of year production.

After Burdon's retirement from the creative side of things and into the administration side of things I have renamed our company FROM A TO B.

However if you would like to work with myself I am directing and co choreographing GREASE for Holroyd Musical and Dramatic Society this year.

So I hope this has answered your question. If you have any further questions feel free to contact me on my email jackhammer004@hotmail.com

As I said before, lets get over this show regardless of what was said and concentrate on other up and coming shows. Seussical by Campbelltown Theatre Group, Chorus Line from Bankstown , West Side Story from Rob Martin Productions - there's so much more to offer out there than our one show.

Thanks all
