You should all be ashamed of yourselves.
"Got in somehow?" What, do you all think I f*cking slept with a cast member? These comments are so shady; from people who know me *way* better than that. Honestly, you all think I would use connections I have, or something to "get in somehow" to a CHARITY event? And then you go on talking about how or what I might have paid?
Get the hell over yourselves. I'm truly shocked at the levels some people will go to to suck the pleasure out of something for someone else.
This bullsh*t -- the accusations, the speculations, the hard feelings; this is why I didn't want people to know that I decided to go.

Well Em, clearly they missed the threads over the past week in which you were seriously contemplating purchasing a ticket...
Idina: Somehow I got myself to the stage, came out at the end of the show, and I had some kind of closure.

Well, I never did until late this afternoon post that I DID decide to go.
And this exactly why.

I'm kicking myself in the ass so hard right now for NOT buying a ticket. Just be happy that you got to see it, and don't let them bring you down

I can't tell if she is being serious. Emcee if you are I really don;t think anyone had any ill will in their postings and if they are then they are just stupid because you are awsome and I'm just glad some real fans got to go and not just snoody rich people.

Emcee,
I hope you had an amazing time. Don't let those comments get to you. I really don't think any of them meant anything negative by them anyway. I am looking forward to hearing your perspective on the evening.

Emcee you are awesome, and I'm glad you got to go. I wish I could have, but at least some people I talk to are there so I can hear all about it.
There's a couple crazy psycho girls who are like 13 and have stalker-like tendencies who are there, and that makes me mad. But I'm glad you are, Emcee. :) You rock.

Emcee writes the best detailed reviews. I can't live vicariously until I read her review.

You know, that's really not what it is. Though I did re-think my choice before I made it, it had very little to do with what people would think OF the choice, unless "people" includes my parents. I do think people going on for a good long while about what I did by my own decision is excessive and uncalled for. Obvioulsy the disclaimer of "I'll live" needs to go here, but this is all kind of absurd. *However* absurdity aside, pre-occupations put on the backburner for a while, nothing was going to ruin this. I said I'm shocked by what people will do, not by what gets to me.
That said, I don't really have a lot to say (in a good way), at least at this point. It was absolutely like a dream; it was simple and perfect, and just... the most beautiful thing. Partial costume, semi-staged, fair amount of choreography, some lyrical flubs, but that kind of energy and love.... this is what Rent is supposed to be. I am so, so glad I went, yes, even on levels outside of the fact that this could be the last time Adam Pascal is on a Broadway stage.

Emcee, I'm not sure which posts you are offended by, but I don't see any that are negatively directed towards you. People were just curious, and no one implied any questionable actions on your part. You're such an important figure on this board and we all know how much RENT means to you, so people were curious whether or not you were going. You definitely deserved to go, and I think people were looking forward to your review if you were there.

A select few of the posts *were* snarky, but whatever, that was bound to happen. I was just put off by the levels of curiousity about what I paid and what I did to get there. It seemed kind of judgemental.

Making jokes about the Special Olympics is like playing Bottom in A Midsummer Night's Dream. You might make people laugh, but you have to turn into an ass to do it.

That's quite an analogy.
I do, to an extent, agree that arguments on a message board are stupid -- but that degree, for me, is when it's with people who, for many intents and purposes, are just screennames on the internet. Not people you actually know -- which is why I'm so put off by what went on here last night. I know a lot of y'all personally.

I decided to skip the lottery and purchased the $500 ticket. Once I got to the Nederlander, I knew that it was important to me that I get to see it. The lottery was just too insane. This will probably be the last time this cast performs together and I didn't want to regret that I missed it. I originally saw the show in 1997 and by that point Daphne was gone. I have been waiting since this time to see her play Mimi and I was so glad I did. She was fantastic. There was so much energy exuding from the stage that I could feel it so strongly even up in the rear mezz. My only hope is that the current cast also felt that energy and is inspired to bring RENT back to what it was 10 years ago.
