Spanish = someone from Spain Latino and/or Hispanic = someone from a Spanish speaking country

Yay for Rooms! My husband and I loved it when we saw it in DC this past September. I'm sad about no Natascia Diaz because I loved her in the role. I'm so glad about the production, though. (I'm a huge PSG fan and have been for many years.) I think it will make an excellent Off-Broadway show. . . I hope the economy agrees. *sigh*

This post is great. . . it is like listening to my husband, who is from Spain, and my best friend, who is from Mexico, talk about all the various accents! And don't even get me started about how different Spain Spanish (Castellano) sounds. I was used to the various Latin American accents I hear where I'm from that when I went to Spain for the first time, I thought they were all lisping. In Spain, the ci and ce sounds make a th sound.. as does the letter 'z'. .. so gracias sounds like gra-the-...

"This isn't the last tour, but it's apparently Anthony and Adam's last endeavour into RENT...ever. " I would say yes, this is probably Adam's last RENT hurrah. . . but I think I read somewhere that Anthony wants to bring his "Without You" to New York. While that isn't exactly RENT, it does have a LOT to do with his experiences with the show.

"I always thought the lighting in Rent was somewhat under-appreciated. I'm interested to see the new lighting." I've always, always, always loved the lighting in Rent and I think Blake Burba is a genius. I've seen the show (too) many times and the lighting takes my breath away each and every time.

My month old son is named Oliver, simply because it is my husband's favorite name. Our cat (who was my cat before I got married) is also named Oliver because of the book/musical. Oliver (the cat) was a stray and I thought it was a good name for a stray/orphan.

That is the Playbill Rent had for a long time after the show opened. I just assumed that they switched to the black and white logo after all the OBC left since those then would be pictures of people not in the show anymore.

"there's a lot more to lin-manuel miranda than just 'in the heights'." That excites me although doesn't surprise me. . . I'm not a fan of labeling anyone as a "one trick pony" when they only have "one trick" (if you will) under their belts. Lin-Manuel Miranda is young (woo!) and I cannot wait to see what the future has in store for him.

Awesome! I had these tapes a long, long, LONG time ago and lost them due to moving around too many times... thanks for the link to refresh my memory!

It is non-eq. All of their Broadway Series is non-eq. (Except for JCS coming in the spring, I believe.) And.. really bad non-eq, at that. (I was a subscriber two years ago. Never again.)

It is announced!! http://broadwayworld.com/viewcolumn.cfm?colid=32829 And, according to the article, ALL the cast will be there! I'm pregnant, and.. that is my DUE DATE! Gah. I'd love to be there, though. Heh. Maybe the Little Miss will come early. (I searched high and low for this thread so I wouldn't get "yelled" at for making a new one.. I'm glad I found it.)

They'll never, ever have their 525,600th show!! WAHHH! Oh the humanity of it all!!! *sniff* *shakes hand to the heavens* Damn you!!

Coolkid isn't a real person, right? It must be some kind of theatre spambot sent here to mess with everyone.

Castilian Spanish or Latin American Spanish? Heh. To lisp or not to lisp. . . that is the question. (My husband is from Madrid, I can joke. :P) /thread jack

Have you seen it yet, emmadny? And, in response to the original question, I think if you go in with an open mind, you'll enjoy it. I went in to the show thinking I would HATE it (TLM is one of my favorite movies) and I was pleasently surprised.

Didn't Rapp do it on tour? I saw the recent production and it was... dull. it totally lacked soul and heart. I agree with a lot of the posters here, it should be done in a small theatre... on a small scale.

I'm waiting to form my opinion on this. I honestly enjoyed the first Shrek movie... I mean, it could be really great... especially with the creative team they've got behind it.

He was out sick.

When is RENT ever bad? I've seen it 3 times - all on tour. All 3 were AWESOME! RENT is the most incredible show EVER! No day like today! No day BUT today.
