Posted: 3/9/06 at 12:36amPeople mock assless chaps. I agree that for the most part they are ridiculous. On the right man, though. Oh my.

I do, too, Addy. When I did my Wicked birthday spectacular we rewrote the ending.
And that sucks about the pants. Any reason why?

Angel. Assless chaps. Long, blonde curly wig (Dolly Parton circa 197
. Red gingham boustier. Cowboy hat.
Tell me that isn't hot.

Posted: 3/9/06 at 12:39amFrankly, I don't think it's hot. I've never really gotten in to the character of Angel. And it's not because he's a drag queen, cause I love me a good drag queen. Angel was always so bland and sexless, though.

Posted: 3/9/06 at 12:40amGreat, people! Now it's a zombie thread. Sheesh.

Posted: 3/9/06 at 12:40amMuch as I love RENT (and even though I mock it and RENTheads I truly, madly, deeply love this show), it will never compare to La Boheme. End of story.

Posted: 3/9/06 at 12:42amI've always thought it was weak lyrically. I've gotten flack for saying this before, but "With condos on the top, whose reNt keeps open our shop," always makes me cringe.

Not that I don't agree, Kringas, but you've got to admit that most classic opera lyrics, when translated into English, are laughably ridiculous.
Edit: I brought up opera as a comparison.

Posted: 3/9/06 at 12:47amHe's talking about RENT, not La Boheme.

I know. I was just setting up opera in comparison.
Sorry, I should have clarified that.

Posted: 3/9/06 at 12:48amYes, indeedy. I couldn't really tell you much about opera. I've tried to get into it, but it's never been my thing.

Posted: 3/9/06 at 12:49amAll of the "Your Eyes" lyrics make me cringe. The only way it could be worse is if it rhymed "love" and "above." Which it might. I always skip it.

You mean like
"You got to remember love/Love is a gift from up above"?
Shudder.

I've just started getting into opera - I saw La Traviata at the Met a couple of weeks ago, and it was wonderful. Still, I'm constantly poking fun at the storylines.
Because I've probably gotten this thread off-topic - Moo!

Damn double post!
And I agree on "Your Eyes." I like to imagine Mimi sitting up at the end of that one, shooting Roger a death glare, and shouting "It took you a whole year to write THAT piece of sh!t! Maybe death's not so bad after all."

Posted: 3/9/06 at 1:22amYes, dammit, but I meant specifically in "Your Eyes."

...I was just told that Gilles will be the only original cast member who won't be in the show tomorrow night, as his wife is having a baby.
Congrats to him...
