My friend came with me the first time we saw it, the first night of previews, and he wore a suit straight from work. He was displeased to say the least. Don't wear nice clothes. It gets very hot and you will get wet.

I was there last night too. The "boys" need to be in the pool every night. It was so hot in there that I wish I got sprayed a little more.

Rent has been good to me. I always felt that I loved this show so much because I needed to hear it's message. It's a lesson I still feel that I'm learning. I'm really saddened and this news couldn't come at a worse time, but I'll survive. I'll see it again before it goes. Very sad.

Maybe I'm daft, but it seems people on this board are so eager to jump on a misspelling to signify the death of something.
Roger is the best Roger?
Daphne in the best Daphne?
What are we achieving with this?
Someone cared enough to post during the intermission of a show that means something to a lot of us. So, let’s insult the 13 year olds and this poster. Do we feel better now? I guess I don’t. Some people have the luxury of sitting here and judging everyone else. Go see

My favorite is Rent, which is what the original question was, but I think the most perfect musical is Sunday.

I'm sure there offering these seats for 20.00 so people who actually live in the heights can afford to go. I live in the heights. We are poor here.
Do you think the overhang in row z will be a problem for this show. I know it was for Tarzan. I saw it from there when Tarzan was in previews and I think I only caught 25 % of what was going on.

Good point, HeyMrmusic, I think the profanity is used to reach youth today. It's not really relevant other than for people to say they use the F--- word. They must be cool.
Yankeefan, I'd love to see/read your modern translation.

I'd say Michael Arden, but his success seems to be, at best, futuristic. He has not had the best luck when chosing projects, but you can't deny the talent there. Maybe you could extend the paper to say that even those who should be successful, aren't. You could talk about how difficult a career it is, even if you have every possible talent. Just a thought.

The play, if uncensored is as relevant today as it was when first written. The musical is not as timeless because of the creative decisions they made. I respect the decisions to a certain extent because they are reaching today's audience, but I don't think it will resonate in the future the way the play has.

I was at Wicked and Saycon Sengbloh was the stand by for Elphaba and she was on.
The man behind me said, "Oh, man, we have the black girl."
I turned and said, "Actually she's green."
I'm sure they thought I was stoned but it had to be said. I think that man might have learned something from the show. I doubt it, but I hope.

I was one of the ones who liked Tarzan, although it was mainly because Andy Pellick danced in it, but I would really like to see this re-imagined, restaged, re-thought out. I think it could be amazing, if done right.

I was a Holiday party this year and Seth asked me why I was drinking alcohol. I think he was channeling my Mother.

I did standing room only once for Rent. They only do it if the show is sold out.

re: What Gifts Have You GivenTo A Favorite Broadway Artist?

I've never really understood giving the casts of shows gifts, although I think people who do put a lot of thought into them. Maybe I'm just not that imaginative. I could see making a card or something if a performer moves you.

I answered this on Broadway space. I'd like to hang out with Andy Pellick. He just seems interesting.

re: Why Not PIPPIN Instead of GODSPELL?
Jan 5
2008, 12:23:43 AM
My first show ever was Pippin. Godspell is a pretty good show. I'd take a revival of either one, but I'd much prefer Pippin. I'd really love to see that re-imagined actually.

I've seen Matt Doyle as Melchior and I think he is better than Groff. I saw Phoebe's Ilse and her voice was weak. I saw Jesse as Georg and it was awful. I can't believe that he would be good as Melchior. I saw Gerard and Georg and it blew me away.
