Re: Gossip -
sorry guys, can't do it - it's SO not fair. It's hard enough to get up on a stage - try to do your best work - have people dog you for it (not everybody's gonna love ya) and then have them DIG INTO YOUR LIFE!!!
I'll volunteer any info about MY life that I see fit... but I can't dish on other people. Especially people I claim to love.
As for who took what - I honestly don't know. But I bet everybody kept something....
Another question: Given your experiences, would you ever allow your children to go into showbusiness?
great question - Of course I would, but not as children. If they really want it when they grow up - who am I to say no?
my kids - 12-4
For everyone's viewing pleasure

What happened at RENT - STAYS at RENT
haha I love it! I just wanted to let you know that Rent reminds me of me and my group of friends so much...they are my surrogate family and mean the world to me, everytime I think of Rent (which is often) I just think about how blessed i am that they are in my life
just thought I'd link it
excellent question Bway Baby

I think that's the largest thread I've seen on here so far. Maybe I'll read it some time when I'm really bored...
For now, this is good enough for me! :)
I completely respect your decision not to get them involved as children. As a music teacher, I have seen too many parents who want to push their kids on stage. However, I wondered, have any of your children showed any interest in performing?
thanks for the answers Fredi, totally agreed about GOSSIP, its not fair and the info shall stay only with you
Oh great..another mega huge thread. I actually read the entire Anthony Rapp thread. It made my whole right arm go numb from moving the mouse..my chair is not very ergonomically positioned I guess.

it is a great question Bway Baby...
*sigh* where to begin...
it's easy to arm-chair direct after the fact isn't it...
and I don't want to take a chance of offending Chris in any way...
but - one thing i know i would have done differently and that's kept it an OPERA - all singing all the time....

Fredi---
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but have you seen RENT on Broadway recently? Do you see it often?

I, too, ended up skimming the Anthony thread- just reading his posts. It still took a really really long time..not sure if I'm ready to do that again, yet.

Fredi- of course we don't REALLY want you to gossip (or, at least, I don't). That would be very unfair to all of your friends. I think we're just happy with anything.
I agree, Fredi. Though I liked what they did with the script, it would've been interesting to see it fully sung.

I would have LOVED that. It was so odd to hear singing lines spoken.

I wish it was fully sung also. That would've prevented some strange transitions into song from happening. *sigh*

awwww the wagon brings back such memories!
(notice how i never actually go to sleep?)
I too have seen kids pushed too far by their parents, in regards to acting and musicals, etc.
I spent several summers at Interlochen, talk about showbiz parents...
I applaud you, Fredi for letting your children make their own decisions (regarding acting), but waiting until they are old enough to make informed decisions.
