Posted: 1/14/05 at 2:27amGuys, I promise, the balcony of the Fox is NOT that bad! I could see great. Plus, we were right in the middle. I will pretend I'm not jealous of seats in the first few rows though.

Posted: 1/14/05 at 10:31amJust because I like to be redundant, thank you for stopping by, and you and the rest of the tour have been getting rave revews here and CB. I live in Westchester, so I haven't seen the tour, but I wish I could, not that it counts for much.

Me and five of my dearest friends are going next Saturday, and I can't wait! (You'll probably see/hear us..a bunch of really ridiculous high school seniors singing along..mostly off key..in the front row of the balcony)I saw Rent on Broadway and it was wonderful, and I've heard the touring cast is even better so I'm very excited! And if you're looking for something fun to do while you're in Michigan (umm..there has to be something..) you just give me a call... :) I'm interested to see how it's adapted to the stage at the Masonic Temple, becuase that stage is a little on the small side and Rent has a pretty elaborate set (although not many props..) Anyway, Andy thanks for your post and I'll see you next week!

Posted: 1/14/05 at 12:25pmandy, i just wanted to say you're a stand-up guy, when i saw you guys out in philly on the last matinee of the engagement i really appreciated that you signed for everyone even tho it was raining quite a bit (i was the really tall guy in a tan suede coat, not that it matters)

I'm sorry spider and timote. That really sucks. Though if you can travel to see them, I'd suggest that.. they'd be worth the trip.

Wow, you would drive me nuts...as much as I love the show.
I saw the tour a couple of months before the cast change. It was still a wonderful cast...but I wish I could see your company.
WELCOME ANDY.

Please don't sing along. For the sake of everyone around you. I cannot tell you how many times I've seen shows (specifically Rent, I don't know what it is about that particular show...perhaps the target audience) that makes people want to sing along. I pay money to see the paid actors perform, not to hear a bunch of obnoxious highschoolers ruining the songs.
Thanks!
And to at least contribute something on-topic: Andy, your take on the character is one of the best I've seen. Kudos to you and the rest of the cast. Can't wait to catch you guys again in DC!

Posted: 1/14/05 at 4:51pmLike Emcee, i live 20 minutes outside of the city so i haven't seen the tour. It is awesome though that you are talking to your fans! That was kind of a useless post. Oh well.

As I mentioned earlier in the thread, you guys should try and travel to see them. They're totally worth it. 
I drove 9 hours to St. Louis this last weekend with kaycee to see them.. and I'm planning on going to DC to see them close... so yeah. You get my drift. Ha!

Posted: 1/14/05 at 5:15pmAndy,when I saw you on the Rent tour, you inspired me SO much. Your performance was up there with many other broadway performers I have seen, though all different(Idina Menzel, Harvey Fierstein..etc.) You WERE Mark. You portrayed him so amazingly.

Posted: 1/14/05 at 5:15pmwell i will try. If it is playing in Jersey or connecticut i will try and go. How bout that?

Posted: 1/14/05 at 5:30pmYeah, the tour is totally worth travelling long distances to see...I saw it twice in Philly (and stagedoored two other nights), and I'm driving to Hershey next month and DC in March to see them again.

Hey, Andy!
Thank -you- for all you've done for us in making the RENT tour absolutely amazing --I saw you twice in Philly, and I'm still going on about the experience-- and for being an all-around nice person. I hope that you're having a blast on the road, and I hope that we don't scare you off. It's so great to hear from you!

Hey Andy!
I figured I'd say hi because I'm looking forward to seeing you in February in London. Only 31 days away! I'll be rushing all day, and hope to be able to talk to you after the show. Thanks for posting and reading.

Hey Hey!
So random, because I just heard your name for the first time last week when the girl whose apartment I'm subleasing was showing me pictures from the tour, and now here you are on this board! She was dating Dan from the tour I believe- Anyway, her name is Amber and since I've heard so much about you guys from her, I thought I'd say hiiii! There are some HOT pictures of the other Andy hanging up in here. He is wearing a pretty skirt, and it greets me every time I open the door.
I wish I could see the tour, Amber said it's GREAT so best of luck to you guys!!
