RENT at rockdale or penrith?

Hey
I saw the Rockdale RENT yesterday and it was awesome! It really was a lot of fun and most of the cast were very strong vocally.

I was wondering if anyone has seen the Penrith performance. Is it worth seeing? As good as Rockdale?

Thanks!

Jo,

Your review of the show is rather harsh. I was a cast member of the Penrith production as Homeless Person/Pastor/Ensemble and on behalf of the cast I believe we did a bloody sensational job. If I must say so myself.

The review also reeks of jealousy. We worked our backsides off for over three months to put that show together and presented it as our own interpretation.

I personally wouldn't want to see a show if it's a carbon copy of what's been done before.

Also too your review over stepped he boundarys of personal insults. Fair enough you can comment on someone's performance but when you bring someones race into the picture it justs makes you look like a fool.

I think you should take a long hard look at yourself and grow up before casting judgement.

A true RENT geek wouldn't say something like this. You are not a RENT fan
