Review: RENT Stays Relevant at BDE Productions
by Greg Kerestan - Oct 2, 2026
It's almost a rite of passage that every theatre kid goes through a loving RENT phase and a hating RENT phase. The memes of 'Benny is a hero, the Bohemians are trash' have circulated for years, and I won't deny there are little grains of truth in there; this IS after all a show where killing rich people's pets is treated as effective praxis and a good prank.

Interview: Michelle Jennings Seizes the Day as Valentina in BOOP! THE MUSICAL at Proctors
by Jared West - Oct 1, 2026
Prior to their stop here at Proctors in Schenectady, I had the opportunity to connect with Michelle Jennings, who plays Valentina in the national tour of BOOP! THE MUSICAL. Based on the Fleischer Studios icon, the show follows Betty Boop's colorful leap from her black-and-white cartoon world into present-day New York, with Jennings' Valentina, an astrophysicist reuniting with Betty's grandfather Grampy after decades apart, anchoring one of the story's most grown-up love stories. In our conversation, we talked about trading opera's young ingenues for musical theater's women with some life behind them, as well as what she'd tell Valentina about taking chances.
