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!

Jennifer Hill, that's the one. Should have grabbed a program!

Great job again guys! I'm gonna try bring a heap of us Rent frieks down this weekend to catch the Sat matinee. (As Sydney-siders, it's a shame its all the way out on Campbelltown, but it's without a doubt worth the trip)

Jonathan, let us know what other productions you're doing in the future, if they're as good as Rent - and from what I heard about Copacabana, count me in! Post it on here, I'm always on!

Thanks
Jack
