I'm going to the April 10th show in Bloomington, Indiana!!!! I about fell out of my chair when I saw he was going to be within a 3 hour radius... no one EVER comes to Indiana! I was sure I wouldn't get tickets tho, because they'd already been on sale for a week and it was only a 500 some seat theater... apparently I overestimated my fellow hoosiers appreciation for this amazing artist. So now I get to drive 3 hours down to bloomington, see the show at 9:00pm, and then wait around for autograp...

I agree, it's one of my favorite songs because the texture is so complex, but it still works... I think it's marvelous writing on Jonathon Larson's part (okay, so when is his stuff not marvelous, but still) to have five completely different parts going on simultaneously and they still all mesh and harmonize... Wilson Jermaine Heredia also said it was his favorite song in the original production... Sadly, i think they cut it because it's long, and it doesn't really move the plot along or say a...

it's coming to my school next wednesday... but I might not be able to see it at least now i know i'm not missing that much. But I wasn't expecting too much, the types of tours that come through here (Ball State University in fabuous Muncie, Indiana) usually aren't top-notch anyways... and you can't really expect them to be. It's not like I'm in a major city or something (unfortunately). But hey, I get a free ticket, and the shows are still very enjoyable, so I'm not going to complain

as soon as I saw this thread, I thought, wow, that would be a GREAT role for him. too bad I never got to see it. Le sigh. Would it be too much to hope that maybe they made a recording I could listen to?

Ooo, I thought up another one (This game is so much more fun than Music History homework) Aida, My Strongest Suit: "From your cradle, via trousseau, to your deathbed, you're on view..." trous·seau n. pl. trous·seaux (-sz, -sz) or trous·seaus The possessions, such as clothing and linens, that a bride assembles for her marriage.

If you're looking for itty bitty refrences, also in RENT, La Vie Boheme, the waiter at the restaurant says "oy, vey", and in Voicemail #3 "...even your father says Mazletov..."

hmm... haven't gotten that far in music history yet... we're still stuck on chants and the Mass (which reminds me, I should be reading my textbook... lol). But in that part, I'm pretty sure it's not minor or tense at all... It's actually, hmm, what would it be called, Doo-wap, mebbe? It's the three girls that narrate the show that are singing this at the opening.

Little Shop of Horrors: "Shang-a-lang, feel the strum and drang in the air..." Strum und Drang: Storm and Stress, movement in German literature that flourished from c.1770 to c.1784. It takes its name from a play by F. M. von Klinger, Wirrwarr; oder, Sturm und Drang (1776). The ideas of Rousseau were a major stimulus of the movement, but it evolved more immediately from the influence of Herder, Lessing, and others. With Sturm und Drang, German authors became cultural leaders of Europe, writin...
