Don't ya just love that side profile?
Ooo Chloe I thought I was the only one who hadn't seen Rent yet! I'll be so excited if I can see it soon before Cary Shields leaves. Maybe I'll bring one of my best friends who is really starting to love Adam. Yay for converting friends to Adamites!

Posted: 2/2/05 at 7:43pmYou wonder how shows that are that bad get so far. But I should talk, having worked on any number of pretty bad movies - you just become blind to it after a while. It's so hard to create something good, so easy to do something bad.

Posted: 2/2/05 at 7:45pmwow QM congrats on sitting through GV! You will never catch me in that theater! I HATE the beach boys!

Posted: 2/2/05 at 7:48pmI think the Beach Boys did some really great things, and if the songs are done well, it would compensate for some of the rest. But I guess not.

That's what I thought, Chloe. How can anyone even want to put Good Vibrations on Broadway? Don't they see it? Don't they realize that they're going to be torn to pieces and lose a lot of money?
I didn't think a lot of Mamma Mia either and now thinking back and seeing that it opened a lot of doors for these types of shows makes me like it even less. But at least Mamma Mia had a story and the songs fitted into the show, unlike GV.
I wonder what you're going to think of Rent. I assume you're so familiar with the OBC recording. I keep my fingers crossed that the current cast has more passion for the show.
ETA: I got comps for GV. I thought I should give it a try.

Posted: 2/2/05 at 8:01pmI do have the Rent CD, but got it fairly recently, so I'm familiar with the music but haven't worn it out yet. (Also I tend to listen a lot more to Adam's songs, I must admit.) Anyway, if the guys at the Nederlander don't come through, I may attempt to see the tour cast when they're in New Jersey. I do want to have the wonderful experience with it that so many of you have.

I think the main problem is that once you have seen the OBC live no one else can compare. I'm not saying that because I'm a fan of Adam, I'm saying that because these guys were special and absolutely amazing together. They had this journey and Rent meant something completely different to them.
I have only seen the Original London Cast (so had three people of the main OBC missing) but I got the 'hint'.
I'm surprised you only just got Rent recently. Have you only just discovered Adam?

"Have you only just discovered Adam?"
Yes, when I finally saw Aida last August. I wasn't instantly so taken with him - the poison worked into me gradually after I got the Aida CD, then the Rent one, and then his solo albums. Coming across this thread didn't help either!
Once I'm interested in something or somebody I have to find out all about it and become obsessive.
ETA: If you don't believe me, just ask me ANYTHING about Elton John.

Chloe, I am the exact same way! Maybe this is somehow connected to our love of Google. I discovered RENT in the fall, thanks to a friend who has a choral CD featuring Seasons of Love. I was actually first drawn to Anthony, or I guess the character of Mark (I love the geekier ones) but Adam was a close--a very close--second. Now, it's switched.

Posted: 2/2/05 at 8:26pmIt certainly makes sense that obsessiveness and loving to research go hand in hand. I've always been a sucker for the loner/bad boy/brooding artist type myself, so Mark has never appealed to me.

In September, I saw this gorgeous man who was one of the tutors in my course. He's kind of small and geeky, but well-dressed, with the glasses and everything. I fell promptly in love with him. Too bad he's quite a bit older, and married. 
Anyway, I've been admiring from afar, and that's fine. He makes me fangirly and giggly, and my friends think it's cute. Then I discovered RENT. ONe day, while I was looking for pictures of the OBC, I came across a group shot, in which Anthony Rapp looks almost exactly like this tutor. I nearly fell over, I couldn't believe it! The tutor could SO be the most perfect Mark.
That's the picture, by the way.

Wow, I had no idea. It always amazes me how people can just discover him when he and his voice have been around for some time.I don't mean that in a bad way... it's great that he manages to attract new people 
Ok, I'm off now...
Haven't seen Amasis here in a little while and I seem to keep missing Nia

Sorry to leave also, but I have to get off for a while.

Yeah, I can't believe all that time Adam was around and I didn't know, but I was younger then. I guess I remember hearing about Rent, but I never realized Adam was from Rent until the first time I saw him in Aida, November 13, 2002
And of course I became OBSESSED. My OCD has been channeled to the greatest extent for Adam.

Posted: 2/2/05 at 9:15pmOoh..he's so hot. Yeah, I'd better just put an end to this right now and get my homework done. "My schoolwork resembles a mountain!" hehe from an "Even Stevens" song but I just really like the line *looks around* Btw, I met Christy Carlson Romano and think she is an amazing singer/actress in Beauty, though ALOT of people would disagree. She sounds EXACTLY like Belle!

I've been emailing all evening. Catching up with people and telling them my RENT experience! I saved it in Word, so I just have to copy and paste it. 
I'm a geek.
#17949where are the founders?
Posted: 2/3/05 at 12:25amI so do that. Like... that day I had to PM a billion people some random Adam story, I just copy/pasted!
