Best staged production of RENT (outside the original)?

Has anyone seen a good production of RENT that has been really good but also different than the original production?
I find most productions I come across are carbon copies of the original.

I rather enjoyed this production. It was different than what I was used to with RENT. "Out tonight" was killer. They had MiMi shooting up during the song, the actress really brought on a addict/dying portrayal. Her vocals were insane, she started with falsetto during the beginning out tonight's, and during "Be my night owl, take my hand we're gonna howl" she just slides right up not using her falsetto. Ugh, it was just an amazing take on the song. Here's a link to some B-Roll montage;

I don't want to toot my own horn, but the amateur production I was in when I was 16 was said by some of our audience members to be the best production outside of the original cast.

Why?

Hahahaha

I was able to connect with the material in a way I hadn't ever before. There were some complaints that it wasn't the best sung Rent that had ever been staged... and that's probably true... but while losing a big it gained quite a bit too.

Working on this production was one of the first shows I worked on in Chicago. I saw it so many times and felt grateful for it. I still have video of Seasons of Love and it's just beautifully haunting.

Yeah it looks like a scene out of Angels In America (Prophet arrives).

Interesting.
