Thanks Jay for going into such detail with your translations! I have no Spanish training whatsoever (I studied Latin through high school and Italian in college) so I've been going by the context of the songs to figure things out, but it's neat to see the logic behind how the words fit together. I appreciate how much effort you're putting into this!

Nononono DON'T go to compulsivebowlers. That site is not what it used to be. Those people don't deserve to call themselves RENTheads (Except for the BWW people, who have proven that they indeed have brain cells and can speak intelligently about a musical). Say one word and they all bite your head off. You can be a RENThead just by saying you are one. If you are truly passionate about the music, the show, the composer, and at some point in time it's performers, then you can call yourself a RENThe

No no you've got it all wrong. The one that plays the Bag Lady is Elphaba, Did you not hear? Idina was demoted to Nessarose ages ago, and she's actually leaving the show tomorrow. Better get tickets fast!

'Hun, you're not nearly as annoying as some of the newer poster on Compulsive Bowlers. Talk about crazed fan girls. Oy. (Do you go on there?)'
I used to. Now it's basically over run with girls saying '_____ is so hot' and 'Wait who is this Jonathan Larson you speak of?' the site crashes every other minute, plus I found BWW I lurk there every once and a while to see if maybe its canged at all but no such luck yet...

'NoDay, you Rent fangirl you. '
 I do what I can...
Haha I really don't think anyone takes my opinions on Rent related issues seriously anymore... I really try not to sound too obsessive/defensive! Really I do! Sorry to anyone whose posts I jumped all over... When it comes to Rent I sort of just say what I'm thinking before realizing how annoying I must sound to other posters... Thanks everyone for putting up with me ![]() re: Rent on the Broadway documentary Oct 22

'I for one am happy to at least know that a good Documentary has been done and there some things in it that a lot of people, who think that Broadway began with RENT, can learn. '
Not sure if I'm included in the mentioned group of people, but I would like to say that I do not think Broadway started with Rent. It didn't even start the string of rock-oriented musicals. For the record, that documentary didn't tell me much about the older musicals that I didn't already know, and I really hat

I think there should have been less about Wicked and more about the older shows. Don't get me wrong I love it but I love other shows too, and they used about twice as much time on wicked as they did with the other shows and it's still so new! Was pleased with the Cabaret section though Would've been cool to see Avenue Q on there, Les Miserables deserved more time, as did a lot of other shows. They should've made a part 3...

After enduring years of vocal technique training and studying etc, when I'm listening to cast recordings I can't help but notice what people are doing wrong. Examples:
Daphne says 'withou.. chew...' instead of 'Without you...'
Anyone else get caught up on tiny details like that? I want to stop but I can't help it!

"Little Known Facts" from YAGMCB also annoys me beyond all reason...

Mark- Geeky and shy, yet somewhat cute and lovable
Roger- To me it would be a plus if the actor is or once was a struggling artist. There are some aspects of Roger that are really hard to convey onstage unless you've 'been there, done that'
Mimi- is overall a better character if sexy/young, and totally comfortable with her body.
Maureen- Major diva. Just totally out there with a huge stage presence.
Angel- Every aspect of the way Angel talks and moves around needs to just screa

Agony- Into the Woods
What You Own- Rent
I'll Cover You- Rent
No More- Tick Tick Boom
Real Life- Tick Tick Boom
Mushnik & Son- Little Shop of Horrors
We Can Do it- The Producers
Where Did We Go Right- The Producers
I've heard some nice adaptation of 'Bring Him Home' from Les Miserables
Not really sure of your voice parts or what kind of song you were looking for so that will have to do
