The Rent Welcome Wagon — Page 230

OH! mix CDs! that reminds me! in addition to secret santa, my friends and i are all making mix CDs and exchanging them. i have to do that...


i first heard RENT at sleepaway camp when i was 10... the girl in the cabin who brought the boombox was pretty much in charge of it, and all we listened to was moulin rouge and RENT. as soon as i got home after 8 weeks i immediately bought both.

Fredi, I;m sure we all give thnx to that...

maybe because they are real paople doing all that stuff on stage and not puppets..

Fredi, we are all glad you got the job.. pretty sure it wouldn't have been the same without you.. And can I jsut say about the other person offered the role.. thats sad, if you are in theatre sometimes you do shows that aren't necessarily in line with what your personal life is like..

'i hear another actress was offered JoAnne but turned it down because of religious reasons....
I give thanks to her God everyday '

Haha thats showbiz in a nutshell

(i'd like to add that my list is always changing as to what musicals I like the best...Man of La Mancha used to be where Fiddler is...how sad)

"yeah well - how naughty can you really get with puppets?"
Oh dear
Fredi, as the resident q~tip on these boards I would be HAPPY to tell you ALL about the "naughtiness" of Q in detail

heh, it is why i am majoring in Theatre - backstage stuff...seeing shows is so different when you have learned the backstage stuff...

if you are in theatre sometimes you do shows that aren't necessarily in line with what your personal life is like..

tell me about it cam - I can't even count all the lovely young ladies I was forced to dissappoint..
(how do you spell this stupid word? I HATE double ss's and p's)

I can agree to that...

For example, theatre class, I had to play a role and do things that are quite embarrassing to do in front of people - but I got an A on it, so that made it kind of better...

Fredi,...Mississippi...

LOL s2b...

"q-tip" sounds naughty all by itself...

The most times I've seen a show would probably be Chicago - 12 times. I know CJR, of course, can put me to shame, but I'm pretty damn proud of it :)

I wish I got to see Urinetown live. I listen to the music - it's great. I was walking to AQ with my mom and we walkerd by Hunter Foster - I didn't see him. My mom smiled at him and then turned to me and asked if I saw him.

Oh well, my friend and I saw him in the lobby at the Tonys with his wife - but she (my friend) was too afraid to talk to him...(but I forced her to take a picture after we saw the producers)...
