Hey Guys
i'm doing little shop of horrors at my high school and playing seymour and i guess i was wondering your opinions on whether the whole show is just a big goof or if some parts are sincere and sad at times-certain examples of this seriousness would be the end of the meek will inherit or when seymour feeds Audrey to the plant-are there some parts in a show filled with comedy where there is a sad/touching aspect in it?
Thanks a lot

the deal with rent that is the ending completely completely destroys it, there are flaws throughout, songs that are unnescecary or just plain whiney but overall it is very moving which is why i always enjoy seeing it but a part of me consistently cringes when i hear mimi say, "blah blah blah...I jumped over the moon...i saw angel and she look goooood"
if mimi had died and then roger had made some kind of speech/song about not living life in regrets then it would truly be revolutionary but th

Sweeney Todd is always classic
but falsettos which i finally listened too is really growing on me, i think it is the best and sondheim fits the next 5 best
1. Falsettos/In Trousers
2. Sweeney Todd
3. A Little Night Music
4. Into the Woods
5. Cabaret
those r my tops right now but they ALWAYS change...daily or hourly

Hey, i've seen the sweet charity movie and the revival and i have to say that the ending was the stupidest thing i've seen...oscar falls in love with her despite the fact that shes a dance hall hostess but at the end decides to leave her, and the ending message of hope is even worse,
i heard the original ending was even worse

i think i better way to have done it would be mimi to die then roger to say some deep speech about living and then sing a rendition of glory...i don't know it just seems better

I want to start out by saying that i am a big fan of jonathan larson and all of his work but whenever i leave rent i always felt something was wrong, and i realized that it is because the ending is so out of place
while i kno a musical isn't supposed to be realistic after the intense moments of angel dying and mimi coming close to death, mimi coming back to life and saying, blah blah blah, "i saw angel and she looked goooood" seems so stupid and out of place, i feel that if they stuck to the
