Fabulous review! Each description of how the actor played the character gave a really great mental image. I really hope I get to see it someday.
I wanted to get something that an "ex"-junkie like him would really appreciate and cherish....it's a brick of heroin shaped like a heart.

Add me to the loving Manley club! He was in it the first two times I saw it, again not much to compare it to, but I remember really liking him and thinking that he was very pretty as well.
On an additional side note, I unfortunately had a disappointment on Jeremy's last Tuesday. I brought one of my college friends who was a virgin and we got seats dead center. This was my 4th time seeing it(saw Cary the 3rd time) and I was excited seeing Jeremy because I've heard great things about him. He was out
At least on an up note, Drew was out too, and I thought Colin Hanlon was a great Mark. My Roger was the One Life To Live guy, wasn't crazy about him. But totally agree on Collins and Angel, I think I might have liked him best of all Angels I've seen, including Wilson. Ooh, and congrats Emcee, I really should try lotto one day.

Wow, the things that happen while you're seeing Johnny T's last performance...
So! Emcee and I BOTH won the RENT lottery. I know it's really nothing to brag about, but it furthers the fact that I really AM lucky and/or lucky by association, even thought Emcee claimed she would never win anything.
The show:
Drew - I think the robot thing can be attributed to a complete lack of acting skills. He could hit the notes, but his enunciation was DEFINITELY annoying, grating even.
Cary - Excellent. He had a REALLY great voice and some nice, but subtle, riffs thrown in Glory and in a couple of other places. He definitely suprised me a LOT. Not that I was expecting him to be bad, but he really impressed me. There were certain points where I was thinking he wasn't going to be able to sustain a note (the big "Mimiiiiiiii" in "Your Eyes" comes to mind), but he did with no problem, so that was nice.
Karmine - There was a definitely a break, as Emcee pointed out, when she switched from “Ooooo” to “uuuuuut.” Other than that, I have no complaints. Her energy was really up there, and she did a great job of getting sicker and sicker in the second act. Her “Goodbye Love” was really good.
Justin WAS in fact a great Angel. His energy was OUT of control, though he kind of stole focus when he was dying in the background. Not to sound completely uncompassionate, but I was distracted more than once when there was another scene going on.
Kelly was an excellent Maureen. Really crazy. Great voice, it reminded me a lot of Idina. I thoroughly enjoyed. I really liked Merle, too. The two of them really had some excellent belts.
Caren Lyn….sigh. a) HOLY SH*T. SHE IS HOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT. Moving on, she sang the “To dance!” part in La Vie Boheme B (“No way to make a living…”) and it just made me wish I could see her as Maureen or especially as Mimi that much more.
The ensem was good. Squeege Man hit some hot note at the end of one the songs. It was funny to see Colin pushing drugs to everyone after seeing him play quite a different role at Easter Rising.
The “I’ll Cover You” reprise, didn’t really do it for me, but he wasn’t bad.
The end.

Have I mentioned how adorable Colin Hanlon is?
And my friend did in fact see Caren as Maureen last week, and thought she was wonderful. Kelly reminds me so much of Idina, though, and that makes me mucho happy. I think I wrote a lot about how much I loved Merle a while ago, and simply because she played Aida (tour, I think) she's good in my book.
And dude. We are so lucky... sort of. Maybe we couldn't be lucky twice in one day, but I never win stuff! We need to hang out (in Starbucks, perhaps) more often.

Good reviews guys! (My friends and I all won lotto yesterday as well) Agree with most of your reviews. I saw Caren as Maureen a few times, and she's unbelievable.
I love Kelly's Maureen as well, but boy, what a quiet crowd yesterday afternoon.

emcee, good review. You're not the only one who liked Manley. I saw him several times, and when he was *on*, he was one of the best. Cary's great vocally, when he wants to be. Problem with him, though, and it's always been his problem, is that he's inconsistant. He's also kind of a flake, not that that matters onstage but anyway. I had a laugh when you mentioned his nutjob fans in the audience. He has a lot of those.

... and people say I'm crazy.

A penny? *beacon was hoping for a blank check...*

How about the promise that I'll get to get my picture taken with you, etheb and PW when I come to New York. You're on a winning streak there, too, ya know.
*looks directly into spycam* Yes, Patrick...I AM coming to NYC.
