I really wanted to share this will ya'll.
I just watched Rent with my mom and this is the first time she's seen it. She's been listening to the music but I wouldn't let her listen to anything past La Vie Boheme because I didn't want to give away to much of the end.
So we're watching it and when La Vie Boheme comes up and Anthony's singing at the beginning and she says to me: "That boy is adorable. But he's too skinny, he needs to eat more." Count on my mom to be such a, well, mom.
So we come to the funeral, which is where she starts to cry. And she proceeds to cry until the end on the film. At the end I asked her what she thought and (still crying) she says: "I finally understand why this has touched you so much."
She absolutely loved it and finally understands why I'm traveling three hours in April to see the show on stage.
