I never finished the March 8th review, but whatever.
This time I am just reviewing the actors.
Jed Resnick (Mark): He was very good. Good vocals, good acting.
Heinz Winckler (Roger): Better acting than the last time I saw him. He has definately improved.
Anwar Robinson (Collins): His voice is unique for Collins, but I really enjoyed him. His “When your heart has expired” in I’ll Cover You Reprise was a standout of the evening.
John Watson (Benny): His voice is really good. I found myself watching him during Contact, due to his dancing.
Onyie Nwachukwu (Joanne): Her lisp bothered me more this time. She is a very talented vocalist though, especially during Take Me or Leave Me.
Kristen-Alexzander Griffith (Angel): Not very good. I didn’t particulary enjoy his voice, but he was a good dancer.
Jennifer Colby Talton (Mimi): She was good. Her voice is very clear and she is a good actress.
Christine Dwyer (Maureen): Stand-out! I love her Take Me or Leave Me and Over the Moon!!!
Some other stuff:
*I think the SOList/Mrs. Jefferson was sick. Her voice sounded awful during Seasons of Love last night. She was much better last time I saw her.
*The Richmond audience applauded at everything, which was good.
I’m really bad at writing reviews so I’ll stop now…
ALSO: I have decided to write at least one Broadway-related post every day, so please read and comment!

I really agree with you. Me and my husband just had the pleasure of seeing Rent at the Fox Theater last night – April 26th – and boy was it absolutely amazing. I particular like this cast. I have seen Rent before and this was by far the best version, best cast! We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it! Now I just have to see if I can find out whether a soundtrack of this particular performance is available!!
