Every member of the cast, even the ones billed as "man with squeegee" or whatever had super voices. It was great. However, the guy who played Rodger, though he of course had a wonderful voice, was a bit too angsty and CAPSLOCKY for me. And, he had the most godawful pants I have EVER seen for the entire first act! Ugh! The girl who played Mimi was incredible! Gorgeous voice, and could she dance! And in pants so tight that I wouldn't have even been able to move! I was incredibly impressed that many of the ladies (and Angel!) could dance like they did--IN HIGH HEELS! Shoot! That's awesome! I've had various songs stuck in my head all day. But, I did have a few complaints. First, I think there was a problem with the sound, and the instruments were too strongly miked, while the people weren't miked well enough. It was difficult to make out the words at some points. Also ( spoiler ). Other than that though, it was really great! I'm glad I went.
