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!

Well,
As you may read later to mr honest critic himself - i would just like you to know that i Benny sold you a raffle ticket because i own the company and trust only my hands to be safe with the money. if it was thousands of your dollars im sure you would like it to be safe to. And if i had of known the can of lemonade would stir you up so much maybe i would have given you that can of diet coke (just 1 callorie you know).
For you not liking the show well thats your business but thank you for your opinion, as any theatre person knows you can not please everyone. So my apologies for this disappointment. All i want to add is you have to have respect for the cast as they only do what they are told. NEVER forget or blame them.
Here ends the lesson.
