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!

I am thinking about the industry,
*If you wish to befriend an audience thats your doing and your doing alone - if your in the business to only entertain and not socialize - why is that a problem?*
It is a problem, because the audience is your business. I don't get how you don't understand that. If you are going to put on shows then your audience is your client, and you have to do everything to keep your client happy. I know that it costs money to mount a production and as a new company it is difficult. Did you consult other members of the theatre community in Sydney for help with different aspects of the show. I am sure there would have been assistance available to you if you are just starting out. I am not trying to bag you out or anything like that, because i understand what it is like to be passionate about something and from what i gather from your previous posts that you were passionate about "Rent". That is great. But always remember that the impression that is given to a customer on their first introduction to either you or your company is a lasting one. As far as comparing what you do, to what Wesley Snipes and Jim Carey do, well let's just remember that they are the ones with the millions, not us.
Regards.
