Rent Help

I was visiting the States and was in Boston in May of '97 where I saw a brilliant production of Rent. I cannot remember who played the leads at that time. Can anyone help? Cheers.

Maybe Manley Pope Roger? Christian Anderson Mark? CC Brown Collins?

I may be thinking later Angel Tour cast, but I'm assuming it was the early Angels at that point. Really not sure if Manley was around yet, especially.
