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.

So far, the performances have been in the order listed in announcement on BWW.

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?

Yeahhhhhh lets have sweet charity back for a third week!!!!!!

Posted: 7/28/05 at 6:19pm

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.

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.
