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!

Wow all I can say is..........ticket's seem to be a central point of amateur
performances. I can see the points that have been made and I apologise for the inconvenience, I also would have liked there to be more programs.
However the curtains have closed and the show has ended, therefore nothing else really needs to be said. A review is written to encourage or in some cases discourage people from seeing a show. Now that the show is over and it is quite impossible to see our version ever again, it seems to me that any review that has been posted, has been posted to intentionally bitch about or praise the now passed show.....Enough has been said.
As a cast member, that has not been mentioned in any above posts (Thats right I'm not Mimi or Roger or any of those), I would just like to say thankyou to all those people who came to see the show, Campbelltown is a bit of a trek for most people, and I hope you really enjoyed it - for those who didn't sorry bout that.
To me amateur theatre is about making friends, expressing yourself, having fun, entertaining and learning. I think when reviewing it's important to remember that word amateur....it implies certain things like untrained actors, low budgets etc etc...... and remembering this I really cant see certain 'points of view'.....(Excluding the tickets and programs.)
To all of the cast and band and any and every one somehow and somewhere involved in RENT! I love you and miss you all already... we all worked so hard as a team to make this work and I would say that about 60% or more reviews have only said how much we rocked.
Cast, Crew, Band - After you read all of these reviews look back on the last Friday night and remember that crowd - undoubtbly the best crowd ever - remember them all standing and clapping and dancing, Jen and I think Trevor - remember racing around the theatre clapping - embrace that moment and the feeling of it all - that's what theatre is about.
Viva La Vie Boheme!
