The Canyon Theatre Guild / Santa Clarita Regional Theatre production of Jonathan Larson's musical RENT is... is... oh, you pick your favorite adjective: phenomenal, outstanding, remarkable, amazing. Many people who have heard a little bit about this rock-musical based upon La Boheme have the misconception that RENT is dark and depressing. But when they watch the show, they are amazed to discover how life-affirming the storyline is. Every song is laced with hope and compassion.
Now, I have been a "Rent Head" (a devoted fan of the show) since I first heard the soundtrack. I had the honor of watching the original Broadway cast -- an astounding group of young performers, many of whom have gone on to develop impressive careers. (For example, the original Maureen from RENT went on to play Elphaba in the Broadway production of WICKED.) I am proud to say that our young cast of RENT has achieved a professional level of theatrical excellence. They have raised the bar for future Santa Clarita productions. I am certain that many of the cast members of our regional theatre's RENT will have shining careers in the arts.
See it this weekend!
