Featured review
Amazing ideas/poor follow through
I love that Fox wanted to tackle something as complex as RENT.
The set, direction, art and costumes are all phenomenally done.
The band is GREAT.
But the casting of this musical...I just don't understand using "up and comers" who CANNOT sing over established stage vets who could rock the house down.
Collins was amazing. Mark was great. Other than that...it's a hard pass from me on the cast. Valentina was AWFUL. Jesus. I get that she's "hot" right now, but she should not sing on stage. Can we get someone like Todrick? A guy who can pull off drag AND actually sing and dance.
This was a valiant attempt at doing something strong and provoking, but it fell tragically flat
