RENT has to be the best musical I have ever seen. An excellent story with a fantastic cast worldwide.
I first saw the show in Australia and found it so compelling that I had to go back for more two days later.
After spending six months continuing my travels and wearing out my soundtrack CD I finally returned to the UK.
Yep you guessed it 1st month home I was on my way to the Shaftsbury Theatre London, where RENT was rumoured to be playing.
3 shows later and I was called by a friend only to be informed that RENT was closing (AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH)!!!
As quick as I could I was on the phone to procure my ticket to that show.
Tickets in hand I made my way to london at 9am. My hope was to queue for a £20 matinee ticket....But alas...Two people to late.
Evening came and the foyer of the Shaftsbury begins to fill with Rentheads. I can see about 30 Marks and goodness knows how many Maureens (stuffed cows in hand). The curtain rises and the biggest cheer I have ever heard goes up.
The atmosphere was incredible, the whole audience singing and dancing. But all good things must come to an end and after 3 reprises of NO DAY BUT TODAY, the curtain fell...............
But it does'nt end there. After a run to the stage door (followed by the whole audience)! The cast start to hang their heads out of the window and begin 1/2 an hour of singing and dancing in the streets.
Since the last Westend show I have since seen RENT twice on UK regional tour and will one day see the Broadway show. (Anyone who wishes to subsidise this trip pleas mail me!)
