Nearly Naked Theatre

August 15-September 12, 2009

Avg. Event Rating (4.8 Stars): Add Review/Comment

Nearly Naked Theatre presents RENT; Jonathan Larson's Pulitzer Prize-winning Broadway musical based loosely on Puccini's opera La Boheme. This incredible show follows a year in the lives of seven friends living the disappearing Bohemian lifestyle in New York's East Village. Ravaged by the physical and emotional complications of AIDS and struggling against the soul-destroying apathy and 'emotional disconnection' of many of America's youth, these friends tether to each other as they painfully learn RENT's inescapable and beautiful lessons; Love is the only thing worth living for ... and live life to its fullest ... everyday.

    "Go See This!"

    Local theater can be pretty bad, but when it's good it can be great. This is beyond that - a definite labor of love!

    So good that we will probably see again. My daughter's comment afterwards, "Give that soloist in 525,600 Minutes a recording contract!!" Beautiful ensemble singing, excellent leads.

    "BENNY"

    The guy that plays Benny is so incredibly talented. His voice is a cross between Jesus and Fergie. It doesnt hurt that he is super sexy and not gay.

    I saw this show opening night at Nearly Naked. I have seen a number of shows there and have to say this is one of the best i've seen there. I have also seen this show professionally at least 5 times and let me say, this production does it complete justice and what I was happy for (being a true RENT fan) is that this production did not sway far from the original. There were a few "actors" and costume choices I could've done with out, but I will not mention them here as not to dissuade anyone from seeing this phenomenal production. This is in the top 5 of my favorite musicals to date. If you have the chance and want to see true emotionally raw theatre, this is the show for you. If this is your first time seeing this show (have you been living under a rock?), you won't be disappointed. Nearly Naked needs to keep putting up quality shows like this...When I thought 'Blood Brothers' changed my view on this theatre, then along came 'RENT'...get your tickets before they sell out!!
