I know there's a lot of people on here who saw the latest national RENT tour with Marcus Paul James as Collins and loved him. Well, he recently made the move to Broadway as Mr. Jefferson and went on as Benny not too long ago.

Looks like our Broadway watchers will get a chance to see MPJ as Collins May 6, 7, and 8. Anyone who goes, I hope you enjoy his performance! I know I do (did?).

Congratulations. I'm very happy to hear this. He has an amazing voice, and deserves a lot of praise. Gook luck to him.

I saw him the 6th and 7th, and he was AMAZING! He's such a SWEET Collins. I've never seen the part played with such vulnerability before. He was almost shy with Angel during ICY, and the sheer emotion in the ICY:R floored me. His voice...is pretty.
