I haven't seen this posted so I hope it's not already been posted, but I just wanted to let everyone know that the current US touring cast of RENT is going to be making a Toronto stop after all. It's not being done by Mirvish so I've found it's getting less publicity than normal, but it's going to be in town from May 9th-14th at the Elgin Theatre and tickets are on sale through Ticketmaster (got mine!). I'm really excited as I've yet to see RENT and it's been absolute years since I was at the Elgin theatre. Anyways, I think there are still loads of good seats left so just thought I'd let everyone know.

Word going around some of the Myspace Rent Groups is the run might be cancelled.
I want to go so bad, but I have to work all the days of the run!

I know that was the word going around...but not anymore as far as I know. They were originally supposed to be at the Canon Theatre and that fell through and the buzz was that they wouldn't be coming at all...but the tickets have been on sale since March 25th and the theatre is booked and everything (I know someone who volunteers at the theatre and is working some of the nights) so I think it's a pretty safe bet. Sorry that you can't go though ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png)

I can't remember which one I saw in Feb of 2005. I'm willing to bet it was Non-Equity

IMO, the first time around they were utterly terrible, the second time they were much better but still disappointing. Twas a couple years back so I would hope who they have now is better.

I've heard really good things about this bunch...with the exception of a few negative comments about the person playing Angel and Mimi. Then again, I've also heard they've been improving a lot with each city...and they started in February so by the time they hit Toronto they may be much better. Someone actually sent me an audio of them doing from One Song Glory through to the end of Act 1 and I thought it was pretty good. Apparently the actors playing Collins and Mark are extremely impressive and I've heard some fans say they like them better than the people doing it on Broadway right now.

It basically just means they aren't part of the actor's union yet...so they are basically complete newbies to any sort of professional production (someone feel free to correct me if I'm not explaining that very well).
