My whole evening was a disaster on Tuesday night.
1. Ended up going to Rent on my own.
2. Sign up on door of theatre that 3 of the main cast which included the ex-Sugababes and Denise Van Outen were off sick
3. Manager wouldn't exchange tickets for another performance
4. When I collected my tkts from Whats on Stage I noticed it said Row O, but on the email booking it said General Admission which would have been much better as could have chosed seat. After complaining I got put in front row of stalls.
5. Problem with front row is that it is near speakers and music is too loud so I had vibrations and thumping through my legs and body.
6. Denise's understudy didn't have a good voice.
7. They said it would finish at 10.15pm but it finished at 10.30pm
8 I didn't bother staying for Q&A as Denise wasn't in it and would have been too late to travel home.
One thing I didn't get is what were they protesting about as the music was so loud I didn't hear some of the words of the songs.

Which one was Luke? Is he the one that went out with Mimi? If so he was very good.
The guy that played Mark was good but that could also be due to the fact that I thought he was good looking.

Does anyone know if when Jon was in Rent in Frankfurt, if he recorded a Rent soundtrack? I would love to hear how he sounded in that. I'm sure he would have been brill

I personally love the remix - ive not seen it on broadway but had been obsessed with the film but ive seen it twice now and love the new take on it. Oliver's interpretation of Mark is brilliant. Yes it's different, but as i told my friends when we went this last weekend, you have to accept that it's different - it's supposed to be different or you will hate it. I think his "cheeky" version of Mark is great (plus yes...he is hot) Luke has the most incredible voice ive ever heard. His roger had me in tears staright away at "one song glory" and in "Your eyes" i couldn't see through the tears - but then again i seem to cry at everything (including at the end of fantasies in ave q!! my friend just laughed and said "they're puppets for gods sake!!"). Denise is good, it's a shame she's leaving on the 22nd... Another different - but good - i think is Angel, the way he's not a drag queen but still gay i think works well. Because it is more in fitting with today's life style. I understand why people hate it, it's like marmite i guess, but personally i cannot get enough of it!
