Ollie's, Haru, and there a nice little french place that's practically across from the theatre. Ellen's is always a lot of fun especially if you've never been though the food leaves a hell of a lot to be desired.
Seth MacFarlane has said that he has the CD collection of an 80 year old man. I'm not sure if it was FG or the simpsons but some cartoon character once said "If you want to go see a bad show, see RENT" or something to that effect. There was also a Trolley Song reference on American Dad.
I just watched it and I must say I was really dissapointed They cut all my favorite songs (well rupaul does sing jonny don't go during the credits) which I understand because it's a short film. But the acting left a lot to be desired and the choreography was lack luster. Jonny's makeup also bothered me. But this doesn't mean I won't watch it again
You've Got to Be Carefully Taught- South Pacific, it sends these chills through me. It is so simple yet so powerful.

My friends and I go see theatre as much as we can and it's a lot better than spending our time on other activities that a lot of teenagers do. I've seen rent 11 times...
I was just in a production of it with my local theatre group in March. It's a lot of fun and over the top. It's not a show where you can hold anything back.
