Facebook comment on the Tony Awards Page:

"Hey Tony's. So sry for being late with the birthday wishes,

I'm so excited for the Tonys this year and I really hope that the cast of RENT makes another appearence and sings b/c RENT is so much more important then the new musicals out now.

"

WOW.

I'm a professional. Whenever something goes wrong on stage, I know how to handle it so no one ever remembers. I flash my %#$&. "Jayne just sat there while Gina flailed around the stage like an idiot."

I love RENT, but that is a little obsessive.

Seriously? I do not understand this obsession with Rent. It's an important work of theatre but beyond that I just don't understand.

I have favorites myself but I don't run around posting that they're better than everything else.

Rent isn't going to get special priveleges.
It is a show...it CLOSED.

Let it rest in peace.

It occurs to no one that that post might be a joke?

I wouldn't post this as a joke.
Go onto the Tony Award's facebook and see for yourself.
It is a few comments down.

Kringy is talking about the comment itself being a joke.

when ducks grow thumbs then maybe my opinion will change.

Of all the comments on Facebook to be taken seriously, this is probably one of the most innocuous. Like BWW, it is a person's opinion. So what?

PS - Tonys. No apostrophe needed unless we're talking about something that belongs to Tony or we're trying to say "Tony is...".

I have no problem admitting that RENT is my personal favorite show of all time (partly because of sentimental reasons). But even I would not go THAT far. At all. haha.

I wish people would realize that it's possible to love and adore a show with all your heart, but still recognize that there are other ones out there that are just as great :)

I don't need a life that's normal. That's way too far away. But something next to normal would be okay. Something next to normal is what I'd like to try. Close enough to normal to get by.

Eh...I can think of several Tony performance I have seen that I would have preferred to see my favorite show perform again. And I can definitely think of many nominated musicals in recent years that were arguably less important than Rent. It doesn't mean I think Rent should be performed every year, but people have preferences and shows have fans. Personally, I think the comment is sort of cute. Silly, but cute.

No. Rent probably ties for my favorite musical, but god that's extreme.
