I agree w/ Una Rocks, what did they think they were going to see. Particularly embarrassing when we can see multicoloured flags proudly flying all along the Liffey.

Great to see the DCU Drama Society achieving such a high standard. It continues the professional level of shows being staged by other groups such as the Glasnevin Musical Society’s “Jekyll & Hyde” and Navan Musical Society’s “Jane Eyre”. There’s so much talent in musical societies in Ireland. Please continue to support all of their shows.

“the numbers, costumes and talent were something else”

As costume manager for the show, you have made my day, good sir.

“Shame some people in the audience were physically reacting with horror because the musical has gay and lesbian characters.”

- what tools. Did they not know what they were going to see?

I really enjoyed last nights performance. In the first couple of scenes in the apartment at the beginning I thought the acting was incredibly wooden but when the numbers kicked in I really got into it.

My fiance hadnt been to a musical in years so i was looking forward to gaging his reaction. He said it made him want to go to more musicals (but dont tell the lads!).. ha..

9/10!!

I was there last night too….they were really excellent, I couldn’t believe the quality of the singing. And when things did go wrong with one of the microphones, the guy playing Angel didn’t flinch at all. My mate had been to the Shawshank Redemption the night before and reckoned the Rent production was way more professional.

There were a few stupid gasps of horror in front of me at the kissing too. Don’t know exactly what they thought they were going to see in Rent.
