On Tuesday 28th August we went to see Look Theatre's Production of Rent in Wantage. They are a young amateur group and it was directed by and starred a fellow teacher from school. Lots of us went that night to cheer on - at least a dozen! I first came into contact with Rent when I was at a Michael Ball show when he and cast sang 'Seasons of Love' and I totally fell in love with it, so I was excited to see the show and here more like it. It is described as a Rock Opera and by far and away Seasons of Love was my favourite song from it. It is certainly an odd gritty story line, not my favourite. The cast were impressive and could tell they had put in a lot of work, but it was also not in the same sort of league as other amateur things we had seen recently. The singing though, was mighty super - and the transvestite character was show stealing in the performance. Well done all!
