Happy thanksgiving all!
Yeah, even seeing the film w/ the family yesterday was different, as they all love Rent but haven't been living in Rent/broadway world the way I was, and yeah, I made them stay for the Thank You Jonathan Larson, my sisters laughed at me for that, stupid bums.
As far as high school friends, I don't even know how many I can get to see it. Well I have a friend who is a big Rent fan not bway so her I could probably take, but she thinks I'm crazy for seeing the show 7 times and she's like you've got to be one of the most obsessed, craziest fans, and I was like you have no idea...
Working on other friends, but the common reaction from them might be I didn't like the idea that they randomly burst into song...
Well in late Dec. I'm taking one of my b/f who knows like nothing about it but through me has been dying to see the show so I'm anxious to see that, to also finally get a true reaction from someone I'm close w/ who knows nothing about the song.
"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli
