Maggie Benjamin (former 'Maureen Johnson') to return to RENT for six weeks while current "Maureen", Cristina Fadale, is out on a two week vacation and four week recovery from tonsilectomy. Maggie will start in mid-July...so buy your tickets for after 7/12 to see Maggie and show her support.

Maggie Benjamin is the wackiest nicest person in the world! She's originally from Florida so at State Competition, she was our Guest Star. She performed Over the Moon. Hilarious.

Then she ALMOST walked into the elevator I was in, but some stupid fan ran up wanting a pic so she didn't get in time. I shouted after her I LOVE YOU MAGGIE! She said that she got kicked out of States for doing "naughty boy" things without permission. Hehe.

I, too, am a huge fan of Maggie. We first met her when she was on tour in Boston. Her Maureen was awesome and she, as a person, is even better. After the show she would spend a while talking to us and she is so nice...and hot!!! Great personality too. She and I take good pics together also. She practically jumped in my arms when I asked for a picture. Maggie Rocks!!!

She played Maureen when I saw Rent, and she gave a very memorable performance. Unfortunately, I never got to meet her. She sounds great.

Let me tell you, the girl is wacky as all get out, and when she REALLY lets loose and belts, that girl can blow the roof right off of the Neder! Good to have her back, even for a short time.

Maggie played Maureen when I first saw RENT. What a memorable experience.

Maggie is THE BEST.
With Matt Caplan going on vacation during part of July, the chances are very good of seeing Maggie and Sebastian Arcelus (filling in as "Mark") on stage together again.

I'd like to see the new Mark cover, Colin Hanlon, take on the role. let's see what he has to offer.
