They may have not been nearly as involved as the US, but the British were involved in the Vietnam war, I seem to remember reading a few times that they sent a small number of people and if fact tried very had to end the war though diplomatic channels if I remember correctly. I don't think the show is specific to that war at all and I think, while they might not embrace the show in the same way it is embraced in NY. It will be embraced in a different way and it's message will be just as powerfu

that's in the middle of a run somewhere I think... I doubt he would leave in the middle of playing somewhere.

I had my 'last show' a while back (before i knew it was closing) But going to the last show for me, for me at least, is about saying goodbye with some friends. I've made some great friends because of the show and it'll be a bittersweet moment (even though they can't all be there... haha) (also sad since it'll be my last time in NYC for a loooooong time i think... haha)
but nothing will ever top RENT's last for me... that' was a WHOLE other ball of wax and set of emotions... haha

I didn't follow NY theater much growing up and I don't remember quite how or why I got the recording for christmas in 96 (I think it was a buzz at my dance studio). I fell in love with the show just with the recording (it took me a few years to finally be able to see it on tour). I didn't know 'the history of RENT', or the buzz it had in NY or Jonathan Larson. So while I will admit, the timing and tragedy of his death have followed the show, I will not agree with the fact that it was a major

ditto on taye... haha...
i live outside NYC... so I'm able to admit my love for certain shows without fear of being labeled a fangirl. (i'm a bit older then most fangirls... but I'm afraid of being labeled as such often enough)
but when i talk to people who are fans of theater... i'm almost afraid to admit my affection to some shows/actors... amazingly enough... in this part of my life i'm actually sane... haha...
I really want to remind some people that actors are

re: HELP - Why do YOU like musicals so much?

Because they're hyper reality. It's the same reason I love science fiction *don't hit me* more then theater (it IS tough call though). It's because you don't break into song in real life (most people), same way I'm not able to travel though time or set flight with aliens.
I live in reality... I go to theater, read books, and watch movies that aren't reality. Fluff musical or dramatic musical... it's another world.
I very much want to break into full blown dance numbers in r

This show is a special one to me... but I'm looking at it this way.
It's not a big surprise to anyone is it... sadly we were expecting it a bit...
let's not morn that it's leaving... but remember and celebrate that it lastest while it did and that we got to experience it...
It sucks for everyone involoved (mostly those actually involoved with the show), but that can't be what people dwell on...

Agreed, this show was one of the influences that helped bring me out of a "funk" that was in because I realized that I didn't want to go there. I think it's actually highly hopeful.

"I was about to say "instead of Chucks, shoes", but I think Chucks would be fine. It's 'Rent', not 'La Boheme'. "
Chucks can be very dressy! haha. I do wear them with my suit to work often. I'm wearing my clean ones sunday night at least. ha.

I was going to post somewhere else, but it seems like anytime anyone mentioned RENT people pretty much brought their claws out...
but I'm not going to lie that, no matter what else comes along, RENT will always be my favorite. Not because it's the best show out there or anything, but because it brought me (a non theater person growing up) into theater and spoke to me as a young, shy teen when it came out. People can hate the show, the fans (some of which I agree are very scary) all t
