I agree with what has been said here. I could not understand the lyrics, the direction of characters was
chaotic and I left with my husband at intermission. I have never left a show before! I have never seen rent
before and wish I had a better exposure to it. Over acting, too much going on at any given moment and any
poignant moments were lost.

I DONE KNOW WHAT IS SO GREAT ABOUT THIS PLAY..
I understand how important the subjects are but I have no understanding of why it was
done in this way. There is no flow to the musical, the emotional struggle is missed, the
play feels like it was stuck together like a bad scrapbook made by a 5 year old. I have been
to many plays but this was by far the worst. I wish i could get it out of my head. The
theater is great and the seating is set up conformably, the Hanover is a great place.

SNOOZE FEST
This performance was a real snooze fest. Very substandard acting. The staging of the
keyboard player/arranger was terrible. The entire show at the Playhouse we are left
staring at his backside. He sticks out and is almost part of the cast! They should have
tucked EVERYONE in the band out of site. This wouldn't have helped this show, but who
sees the backend of a piano player during a professional stage show?

SHAMEFUL PERFORMANCE OF RENT--

Dear Ms. Vernaci,
I attended RENT in Cleveland last Sunday night March 25th. I was very disappointed. It’s
very rare that I have such strong feelings about a production, but on this occasion I feel
compelled to say something. Last night was the 8th RENT production that I’ve seen. When
I saw the original cast with Daphne Rubin-Vega, Anthony Rapp, and Adam Pascal I was
moved to the bottom of my soul.
Vocally the kids sang fine last night, but their performances were passionless and
uninspiring. They seemed very young, inexperienced, and disconnected from their roles.
They were not even close to bringing to life their characters. I understand comparing to
the original may not be fair, but these kids were average at best. I know what I saw in 1996
was a soul-stirring movement with “the best of the best,” but professional actors should
have no problem recr

HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED
I have seen RENT 5 times including
tonight. What a huge
disappointment! A whole new
generation won’t have the ability to
fall in love with these characters, the
songs, the passion. If you are going to
bring back something as amazing as
RENT, respect it and do it right! There
was zero passion or acting going on.
Many actors were off key or
Unable to hit the notes at all. I felt no
connection or even care for these
characters. More so they ruined RENT
for me. I will never go see another
production of RENT for
Fear I would see this again. The story
was impossible to follow, characters
were soulless and songs were yelled
not sung. The end scene with Roger
and Mimi was ridiculous. This cast
has placed a horrible cloud over
RENT and destroyed it for future
generations. Lastly the whole thing
seemed rushed and glued together.

CRAPPY PERFORMANCE OF RENT
The entire cast was embarrassingly bad.
Allan Licht/ABL RECORDS from Cleveland, Ohio
VERY SUB-STANDARD PERFORMANCE
It lacked heart, connection, and yes, they all sang well-but the acting and character
development was poorly executed. The 2 leads Roger and Mimi had zero chemistry
between one another. Jonathon Larson would not be a happy man.
