I will admit...I am a total RENThead. This was probably my 7th or 8th time seeing the play--saw the movie and it was ok. I thought everyone played their character extremely well. Contrary to the other review, I thought Roger's voice was fantastic. He brought me to tears several times. In some aspects, I liked the filming because the cameras zoomed in on faces that unless you're in the front, you don't see, but there was a downside to that as well because when they're zoomed in on someone, you miss what is going on elsewhere on the stage. Overall, I loved it. The entire cast was phenomenal--specifically Mimi and Maureen whose voices blew me away. Well worth the experience for this RENThead. :-)
