AMAZING. It was AMAZING. I really don't think I could've picked a better show to be my first. I really enjoyed the whole show. And I was happy that all of the cast was there. I'll try to condense this review as much as I can, so I don't make this crazy long post.

Rent: Fantastic.

One Song Glory: Cary Shields performed this song beautifully.

Light My Candle: I really liked this song. I wasn't so much a fan of it when I heard it from the OBCR, but I really thought it was good once I heard it live. Karmine Alers was great as Mimi.

Today 4 U: ♥

You'll See: Once again, it was great.

Tango: Maureen : This song was great. They made it funny, and Drew Lachey and Merle Dandridge have great voices.

Life Support: Beautiful.

Out Tonight: Once again, this wasn' tone of my favorite songs from the OBCR, but I really liked it.

Another Day: Beautiful again.

Will I? : This song was sad, but it was beautiful.

Santa Fe: I really enjoyed this song. At first I was like 'Why Santa Fe?' but I got it and I really thought this was a great song.

I'll Cover You: Justin Johnston and Mark Richard Ford both have amazing voices and they were great performing together. Wonderful song.

We're Okay: Great.

Christmas Bells: This one made me laugh. I loved it.

Over the Moon: Hysterical!! Kelly Karbacz was fantastic. She has a great voice and this song was so funny. And then she goes "Moo with me!" and I really wasn't expecting anyone to do it, but everyone did! And then she pointed up to the balcony and was like "You up there, c'mon, moo with me!" Great.

La Vie Boheme/I should Tell You: Fantastic.

Seasons of Love: I've always liked this song, and the cast sang it beautifully. And Frenchie Davis was amazing on ehr solo part.

Happy New Year: I really liked this song.

Take Me Or Leave Me: Fantastic, once again.

Without You: I really liked this song. Karmine Alers has a fantastic voice, and I really like dhow she sang this song. Ditto for Cary Shields.

Contact: I was kind of confused at first, but then I figured it out.

I'll Cover You (Reprise) : So SAD.

Halloween: Good.

Goodbye, Love: Great performance by everyone, kind of a sad song though.

What You Own: I love this song. Drew and Cary were great, again.

Your Eyes/ Finale: AMAZING. I really liked this. (I would've liked it better if it didn't mean the show was over)

Stagedooring afterwards: Met Cary Shields and Kelly Karbacz

To sum up the show: AMAZING. On a scale of 1-10, it broke the scale.

Sorry for babbling!

He actually wasn't that bad. He wasn't fantastic, but he was better than I expected.
