GREAT PRODUCTION!
Being a NY native, I was fortunate enough to see this wonderful show on Broadway, followed by every tour through Denver. When the movie came out, I felt it raised the bar a bit, with most of the original cast and a performance off a stage. These wonderful actors had some big shoes to fill. They succeeded! Cast beautifully, each character bought a slightly different sound to their role. This was fine, but there were times, I was wanting to hear the song sung the way I remembered. Of course, I also wanted to sing the entire show out loud, which would probably have been fine in NY. I thoroughly enjoyed each performer even though they were not the original Angel, Maureen, Mark, Joanne, Tom..... I'm not sure if the stage size has changed, but this set felt cramped. Of course compared to the movie yes, but this was the only aspect of the performance that I felt hindered the production. ABSOLUTELY, go see this show!
outstanding
We went Thursday night. The cast was truly amazing. Have seen the play several times here and in NYC and i must say the voices of the current cast were as good as any show. What a treat!
Rent
Just saw rent at Stratford last night. Had only seen the movie previously. I found this production very enjoyable and powerful in moments. At the onset Stratford Mark was more engaging than movie Mark and knocked it out of the park with the tango number and everything else. Maureen is tough if not impossible to replicate but I loved Stratford Maureen and Stratford Joanne in all their numbers.. I particularly loved Stratford Mimi...Movie Mimi fell flat for me but Stratford Mimi was vibrant portrayed issues and had a much better singing voice. Stratford Tom Collins was excellent. Just loved this production much more than the movie. Thank you all for your effort.

I have loved Rent ever since I was introduced to it in the early 00’s. I see people complaining about singing, chemistry etc. I have to say I did not see any of those issues. The singing was dynamic, the portrayals were believable. I sang along the whole show but at times became so wrapped up in the performance I forgot to sing. I would recommend seeing this tour to anyone that loves Rent but would also recommend investing in Kleenex when you go.
Fantastic
First time seeing RENT live and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute. The standing ovation was well deserved. I will definitely see this show again!
