Posted: 11/30/05 at 8:43pmFredi Walker! Wooooot! It's really nice to hear from you :) Please share an anecdote from when you played Joanne in the OBC! Which of the original cast members are you closest with? I've seen the movie a few times already and, though Tracie is a great performer, you are the definitive Joanne Jefferson to me. What is your favorite song in the score? Which was most challenging for you to sing? I love listening to you on my iPod. You really bring down the house in Take Me Or Leave Me. Yeah, you rule.

The Nederlander is going to be a mob scene that night.
NO DOUBT! I was thinking if I couldn't get in for the actual show that I'd hang out afterwards to try and meet the peeps, and then realized if I'm going to do that I might as well stuff myself in a phone booth with 20 people while I'm at it. It's going to be C-R-A-Z-Y that night. --- Seriously, whoever mentioned it, it would have been a damn good idea to have it in a place like MSG, or even Radio City. I know that would take away from the magic of being back at the Nederlander for you OBC though...sigh.

Posted: 11/30/05 at 8:45pmI still love the blog updates. I was worried there wouldn't be updates after the movie came out. Guess I was very wrong, haha.

Posted: 11/30/05 at 8:46pmthe thing i hate about the 1000 dollar tickets... is that what RENT is all about is ... la vie boheme... starving artists... jonathan's struggle to make it... the people who the message really means something to and appreciate the story... and these are exactly the people that could never afford the 1000 dollar tickets. the people who actually care something about seeing the OBC because its the OBC of RENT.. the real deal... and not an important night in theater history are the ones who wont be able to go.

I feel the need to express my love for Anthony:
I love him. And I love Rodney looming the background.

Beka, this "true" Rent fan is planning on going is definitely not stuffy (or paying with rich daddy's credit card). I was just determined to go and I'm making it happening. It was announced last summer, if it meant that much to the "common Rent fan" they would have started saving their money up.
I think considering the circumstances, it's very fair- anyone can get an invite if they want. Usually to get to these events, you have to know someone who knows someone- it's not available to the public. And what other show has done a lottery for an event like this? Yes, chances are slim, but that first row will still be filled with Rentheads.
