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!

I have read all of the previous reviews, both good and bad, and no, I didn't see the show. But I do just want to comment in response to the last post by ".... Enough has been said" regarding the whole purpose of a review.

I do not believe that the sole purpose of this review forum is to provide feedback to cast members etc whilst the production is still in progress. I believe that the forum is here to provide feedback about a show, irrespective of whether or not it is still in production. This way, everyone else who has seen the show can then offer their OPINION about whether or not they agree with the review, hence opening up a forum for discussion, which is what this whole forum thing is about - discussions and sharing opinions.

Enough said :-)
