I agree - it's ridiculous how many people completely ignore the announcements about photos and recording devices not being allowed, and the requests to silence cell phones. I was at a performance of The Little Mermaid back in May with my family, and the woman behind us was taking digital pictures during the whole show. I didn't say anything to her, but I wondered if an usher or anyone would do anything about it. At the end of the show when we were gathering our stuff getting ready to leave th...

Oh, I didn't know I wasn't supposed to post a review about a show I loved here if I just joined! Actually, I've been a frequent lurker here, and I was a member a few years back before my second child was born, but then we moved and got a new computer, and I never rejoined. But I just loved this show so much, and knew there were articles about the casting about this production on this site, so I figured the members of this board might be interested in coming to see this, since it's so close to...

Are you saying I'm a shill for the show? Why? Because I raved about it? I live in E. Northport, and I'm a fan of RENT from seeing it on Bdway 4 times, and I was excited to post my review of it after seeing it last night. I'm just a fan who was VERY impressed with this production because it more than did justice to the Bdway production. I was nervous about it going in, because I couldn't imagine how the Bdway production could be met or equalled, but I was totally surprised and thrilled with wh...

I saw The Odd Couple too - it was terrific. I live in E. Northport, and I'm so pleased to see the caliber of shows they are producing at this theater that is practically in my backyard!! It is very impressive. Go see RENT if you possibly can - you won't be sorry!!! It is something very special - especially if you are a fan of the original Broadway production.

I was sure I saw it on their website, but I couldn't find it just now either. But I googled it, and found an article about the announcement right here on Bdwayworld.com Here is the link - http://broadwayworld.com/article/The_John_W_Engeman_Theater_at_Northport_Announces_Student_Pricing_for_RENT_20090909 I hope that link works - if not, search for the article on this site. Or I'm sure if you call the Engeman box office, they can tell you how it works. I wish I was still a student - I'm a mom o...

Yes, it really was so amazing, wasn't it? I was a little nervous going in, being such a fan of the OBC, that it wouldn't live up to my love of the show, and just be a decent copy. I was so blown away - wow!!! Oh, and if you go to the theater's website, they are doing a student rush ticket system, like they did for the Bdway show. 20 dollar tickets with a student id on a lottery system. Very cool!

I wasn't sure if this was truly considered a Broadway topic since the show isn't on Bdway anymore, and I'm discussing a regional theater, but it didn't seem to fit in off topic either, so I'm putting it here. I went to see RENT at the John Engeman Theater at Northport (in Long Island) last night, and it was FANTASTIC!!! I just wanted to urge any of you RENT fans who live locally to come see this production!!! The cast was fabulous (Mike Backes as Roger, Stanley Bahorek as Mark, Lakisha Anne B...
