Good-bye, Love, Good-Bye, Love

This is my page made to Krysten Cummings, She is leaving the broadway cast of Rent September 5th, 1999. She will be missed greatly. Though I never really liked her singing voice all that much. She was a great actress. I did not have the chance to ever meet her because I only saw her once and she didn't stay to sign autographs. I wish I could've had the chance to see her last peroformance. But I didn't. Hopefully some of my friends will give me permission to put some of their pictures of her last show up here. Below is her Bio from the playbill. Goodluck and Goodbye to Krysten! You will be missed!!!
