Arrivederci, Rent

Lots of stuff to update about. Probably not going to get to all of it. But lets start with something sad:

Goodbye, Rent.

A bunch of us went and saw the show (really good seats!) on what was supposed to be closing night - before they extended the run to September. The One in Manhattan and I have been friends for a long time, and we've made a lot of other good, solid friends because of this show. IT was better that its been in months, btw, with strong performances all around (save for Collins...).

From screaming out "mooos" to joining in the clapping in "Seasons of Love" to closing our eyes, holding hands, and crying through "I'll Cover You (Reprise)," i doubt the night could have been better.

Heh, i remember seeing the show for the first time...Joey Fatone was Mark. And i dl'ed a few songs, and i remember playing "La Vie Bohem" for The One in Vassar and The One in D.C., back when we all lived in Newport. They liked it...but i don't think they realized how awesome it was till they saw it themselves.

Arrivederci, Rent.

No Day But Today.
