Ooh, pretty nail polish!
Don't you love how conversation topics can go from actors to books to nail polish?
Heh, Billboard Girl, I'm also amused by their misspelling of "Boheme." Not that it matters, but I have a beautiful La Boheme poster on my wall (not that it doesn't fall off every other day!); my parents gave it to me on my last birthday. I think they were trying to force a little culture down this Renthead's throat.
*Continues babbling about La Boheme* I have a DVD of it, too, and I honestly enjoy it (thank goodness for subtitles), even though Rodolfo and Mimi were doomed to melodrama from the very beginning. *rolls eyes*
heh..i found the video i was looking for PM me if you want a link...

I saw La Boheme a couple of months ago with a school group (the same group I saw RENT with for the first time), and even though I obviously needed the little subtitle display screen that was in front of my seat to understand everything, it was interesting. The sets were absolutely STUNNING, and it was cool to see what bits of the plot found their way into RENT (the song about Schaunard being paid to play music until a bird died, for example - I thought to myself "ahh, now Today 4 U doesn't seem so random!" )

Since I watched La Boheme - I don't know if I should be admitting this on an Adam Pascal love thread, no matter how off-topic you guys are - I find it hard to take Roger seriously; I think he has an almost pathological obsession with Musetta's Waltz. And whenever it's played (in RENT), all I can think of is Musetta hauling up her skirt, showing her (gasp!) feet and ankles to the world. So I can't help but mock "Your Eyes."
*ducks*
I pmed it to several of you...here is the AH interview (only a couple seconds)

It saw the Baz Luhrman production of La Boheme when it was on Broadway, which was a wonderful experience - La Boheme and Baz Luhrman with it!? I'm a big fan of his. Before seeing it, I read it in English and then there were, or course, sub and supertitles, which helped while watching. It's amazing how similar the two are. There are all these little details that transferred from the opera to the show, like the toy peddlers became drug dealers and the bird became Benny's cat. Now I enjoy listening to the recording sometimes.
