I first saw Rent in Chicago shortly after it won the Tony Award, and so the buzz over this rock opera was extremely high. Sometimes 'buzz' and too much hype are not a good thing. I went in extremely excited to see this Tony Award winning musical, but came out after seeing it a little underwhelmed. But that was not the case last Saturday night when hubby and I went to see the last performance of Rent at Desert Stages Theatre. We both came out totally overwhelmed, and that is a testament to just how great the cast and the production was at Desert Stages. They took my not so favorite musical and turned it into one the BEST musicals I have seen at Desert Stages Theatre. The whole cast was outstanding, and the production phenomenal.
Oh and one more thing...they had a LIVE band playing all the music. That was pretty cool.
