Rent Help#0

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.

Manley Pope really rings a bell. Misplaced the Playbill...

Thanks so far!

Wow, D'Monroe has been around a LONG time. On and off, but still. Same with John Eric Parker and Shaun Earl.
