RENT Plot Holes Jan 3
2017, 09:38:46 PM
One thing that hasn't been mentioned is the fact that the "final" version of Rent that we're familiar with, the one that was on Broadway, wasn't really finished. As we know, Larson passed away during the Off-Broadway preview period, which is always a tumultuous time in the life of a show. I'd have to think that if Larson had lived, he would've made the necessary changes. Since he didn't, there were some adjustments and cuts made, but much of it remained unchanged. For example:
"It was pretty straightforward to know that what Jonathan would want would be for this show to go on. We all knew this show was unfinished. I feel like the show is still unfinished — the people who worked on it most closely know that most — and it certainly would have been different with Jonathan's continued participation." http://www.playbill.com/article/the-creation-of-rent-how-jonathan-larson-transformed-an-idea-into-a-groundbreaking-musical
Even reviews at the time pointed out that it was incomplete:
“Rent” was unfinished when Larson died. It goes flabby and maddeningly ambivalent toward the end, leaving so many loose ends that Michael Greifs production couldn’t possibly resolve them. http://variety.com/1996/legit/reviews/rent-4-1200444937/

Final If/Then Show Mar 26
2015, 03:10:02 PM
I've been a fan of Idina's for over a decade now, but I haven't seen her at a stage door in years because I have zero interest in being involved in that type of environment. That simply isn't the type of interaction I'm interested in having... being shoved around and getting 3 seconds of face time while she scribbles on my Playbill just isn't worthwhile. When I leave the theatre I'm usually still processing the performance I just saw, and if anything, that atmosphere ruins it. Like someone said

Aladdin Rush Tickets Apr 23
2014, 04:46:58 PM
Book of Mormon, Wicked, and other shows that consistently sell out for years make a commitment to having a certain number of tickets available for a lottery every day. Of course they don't have to, but Aladdin could do the same. It's just a nice thing for the producers to do to allow people of limited means to be able to see Broadway theatre.

Aladdin Rush Tickets Apr 22
2014, 08:29:41 PM
I went to the first lottery today... there were probably 75-100 people there. Yes, it was held on 42nd Street, but there were additional employees besides those running the lottery to herd everyone under the marquee. They used a megaphone. Only about 15 tickets were available, and the last 5 were single seats. Like the rush seats, it seems the number of tickets available per lottery will vary because the employees didn't have an answer to the "how many tickets are there?" question. It sucks that

I sent an email to several people here:
http://www.tonyawards.com/en_US/about/
I don't see how they can go about fixing this now, especially since they don't have the contact information of those who couldn't enter. But, they need to know what happened so that this can be straightened out if there's a lottery next year. Someone needs to be held accountable for what went on.
I think I'm most surprised by how little care went into this whole production when something so valuable, both monetarily and emotionally, was up for grabs. The people who attended this lottery are some of the Tonys' biggest fans, and many left feeling hurt and let down by an institution they trusted. I look at a Tony Awards tweet today and just feel upset, not excited, and that sucks.

I'm also planning on contacting all those in charge of the lottery today. I arrived around 12:15pm, which was well within the 12-12:30pm window they announced for entering the lottery and never got to put my name in because they ran out of slips for the middle of the line. I actually saw them handing out slips to the end of the line and decided to wait calmly for those in charge to come to my section. It turns out, by doing the right thing and acting rationally, I was shut out. I simply wante

the segment was nothing to get excited about. there'll be MUCH better stuff, i'm sure. it was barely 30 seconds, by the time i ran to a tv it was over. the clips were *this* long.

um, i did not ask my friends to call. i actually wasn't expecting a call until the show was over. it was purely their own doing, and they just made me very happy.

i didn't actually get to talk to them, i just listened. but 5 minutes before i started my friend said that the set is completely normal, there's copies of the libretto onstage, and they are going in order, from the phone calls i've pieced together. i just don't know about costumes, but it's safe to say that they're definitely going through the whole show.
