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!

HI MD!! so sorry you took this to heart so much... i actually thought the band was great prob better than rockdale if i must compare ... was very tight!!!
"oh that was just crap" ??? ok for starters i never wrote that, or ANYTHING LIKE THAT!! i started with the possitives.. ie i thought mimi was great!! and i complimented collins voice i really enjoyed hearing him sing.. i really did think he over acted just a little - thats my opinion - you know you can take that constructively!!! and a ngels voice - beautiful!! just not experienced in the acting side of things!!HE even admitted to that! and i just read the message posted by angels mum - and just so you know i really do understand how much work they have put into this show.. i do!! i wasnt slagging out on the cast just the direction (and roger... didnt do it for me sorry) you could tell the cast worked hard.. its a HUGE show they would have had to to even get it up and running i know!!
back to MD - some constructive critisism or suggestions?? i gave them if you bothered to read my reveiw again with an open mind you might see that!! simple things like tickets... being back stage before the show... not bagging out other shows in front of your paying audience.. it really turned me off! and my comments about some pitch issues, you just agreed to!! so dont just get on here and swear at me and accuse me of being (to quote) "someone who just gets on here bragging to have done stuff" and say the show is "just crap" cause i NEVER said that!! it wasnt CRAP it had a lot of potential as i said but it also had alot of bad things IN MY OPINION!! like direction, casting, attitudes!! and i'll say it again - i know your a musical society not pro - BUT if you had the balls to put down other Societies in they way i heard you do it SURELY you can take a little back and on board!! I will if you like compare productions.. i havnt at all yet as i said it wouldnt be fair having different casts, venues, interpretations and budgets!! But if it will make you happy MD i will write a review about All 3 (Rockdale, Chatswood, and Campbletown) i didnt see penrith sorry so couldnt do that one!!
you shouldnt take it so personal... trust me if a paper of some sort came along and reviewed you show it would have been alot worse!!
