Anyone know what the order is going to be? I only get an hour for lunch at work and really only want to see the Rent folks...

I saw something this morning about CCBB cast members. I guess they'll just be dancers, from how this sounds.

But YES! FELICIA FINLEY!!! (Oh, and that Pascal guy, too.) SO PYSCHED.

If you go to the Dancers Responding to Aids website (www.dradance.org) they have a flyer advertising it. It doesn't specifically say "this is the order" but it does have some more information.

I wanted to go to see RENT perform last week but I would only be able to go at 1:30 so I called the place up and asked them when RENT would be going on and the lady told me that they don't decide the order until day of. Sorry.

I assume they would hold off and have Rent perform at the end. They won't want people who just go to see them to leave right after they perform, right?

I hope you guys take pictures and video clips for me... and post them soon, because after I had plans to go, my parents officially decided that they wanted to crush my dreams.

"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell plus i proudly share the title of the shortest member over the age of 10 with wickedrentq!

Does anyone have an idea when it generally ends? 12:30-? We can all assume that it will be mobbed and it would be wise to be there early? How does this coincide with the Today Show appearance? Because it's on the last day of my internship... and I won't miss it for the world... even if I do loose my stipend. Though if I have the info...I can hopefully work around it. I am now going to go figure out how the video feature of my camera works.
