Those girls in the YouTube video were sitting in the hallway at the Nederlander because they're these psychotic little girls (well, technically, nearly all of them are late teens and more than old enough to know better). They do the Rent lotto 4 times every weekend during the school year and ever more often during the summer. In the two hours between the lotto (which they inevitably win, because the world is out to punish sane people) and the show, they sit in the hallway of the Nederlander by the stagedoor so they can greet the actors as they come in before the show. Nevermind that they will also speak to them at length at the stagedoor AFTER the show. It's this pathetic attempt to have as much "contact" with the actors as possible. Because, saying "Hi Haven" before the show means they're BFF, obviously. One of the girls' got her mom to pay about $5000 to have a "walk-on" role in Rent for the BC/EFA auctions. She gets to sit up on the platform for the whole 3 minutes during Life Support. She's 13.
They probably didn't react to Adam because they had no idea who he was, because clearly, unless someone is in the current cast, they don't matter. No, but really, they just weren't expecting him at all and were in a state of shock and embarrassment (as evidenced by putting their puppets down AFTER he walked by and saw them).
After Chess rehearsal, we watched a Rent video. At 4am and while singing Out Tonight at the top of our lungs, we decided we would see Rent today. Unfortunately, we forgot until we walked up to the theatre for the lotto that the summer schedule doesn't have shows on Sundays. Bleh. I really wanted to see it again. August 15-18 is too far.
