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!

My last thing is to Mr honest critic... if that is your real name. All i have to say to you is this.... *clears throat*....
This whole "i cant believe someone in the cast was giving tickets in costume and mic" (quick the end is a near, we're all gonna die), I was that person you are talking about who also happens to be the owner of the frickin company and i did the tickets because quite frankly i dont trust anyone else with MY money, that's right i said MY money. And when your just starting out a company there are not many people you are going to trust with money in general.
Second of all - your programme complaint. When you are starting a company from scratch and you don't have a huge baudget there is only so much you can pay for. It is not like we didn't get any done they just got sold out because we could not afford to make heaps of them. Coming back to that nice little word i like to call MONEY.
Now if you have directed and performed as you claim to have you will know that every director has their own vision, assuming they are good. And if their vision is to have the audience see the cast before the show starts that is their choice. It doesn't make it unproffessional at all it just makes it a different idea.... Actually i have seen the idea performed before so it wasnt even a new one.
Now everything you said about the SHOW itself i have no boggle with. I am the most critical person you will ever have the pleasure of talking to so your comments in that degree were fine. You did however forget to mention how poor benny's role was and the twit should learn to stand up straight on stage cuase he looks like an ogre walkin round with that hunch.
Lastly (if i dont think of anything else), dont tell me you sore this show with an open mind - if you are as critical as you sound (which is not a bad thing mind you) then you went in to pick it to death, and it's what you did from the moment i gave you your ticket (IN COSTUME MU HA HA... And ill do it again). I'll tell you the people who liked it were the one's who sat back and enjoyed and the one's that didn't were to busy judging and annalyzing it to enjoy it.
My Regards,
THE PRODUCER - and i dont need to know better thank you mr ive done a handful of professional work which was probably saying hi mum as an extra.
Actually if you could give me your name because i would love to see you some time - or perhaps you could prepare a musical piece with a monologue squeezed somewhere between it that i could watch just to see if you do know what your saying or your just..... i dont know (for the noises off people)
and remember - i do thank you for what you had to say about the SHOW - but how bout you leave the other stuff to the big boys.
Here ends the lesson.
