On July 12th, the hit musical RENT was celebrating, and for three great reasons!
1) "Queer Eye" culture vulture Jai Rodriguez returned to the show as Angel
2) American Idol 2 botee, Frenchie Davis has begun to reprise her minor but excellent role as the Seasons Of Love solist
and the biggest reason to celebrate?????

RENT IS NOW THE 9TH LONGEST RUNNING SHOW IN B'WAY HISTORY!

Congratulations RENT!

Hahaha. It means someone who was kicked off of something. Someone who has been BOOTED off. She was kicked off of AI2.

Ah - perhaps you should have spelled it "Bootee" (then again, perhaps you should have spelled it "runner-up" or "finalist")

"Botee" sounds like a robot

I am not a fan of stunt casting myself but respect where it's due, Frenchie Davis kicks the sh*t out of Seasons Of Love. What a voice!!!

Perhaps it is just me, but I'm pretty sure Rent's actual anniversary was in April.

[popcultureboy]

Posted: 7/16/04 at 2:13pm

Yes, its anniversary was. But becoming the 9th longest running show isn't the same thing.

Oh, my bad. Still sleep deprived :)

Hence the name, insomniak.

I do love RENT. Although Frenchie may have a large "booty", I wouldn't call her a bootee, or a botee. They both just sound...odd. I'd call her an ex-Idol. As in ex-parrot.

Nevermind. Shutting up now.

YEAH RENT! WHAT A GREAT MUSICAL! IT SHOWS HOW DIFFERENT SHOWS BACK THEN ARE FROM THE CRAPPY ONES RIGHT NOW (WICKED OMITTED) COUGH, COUGH AVENUE Q...GO RENT!

Everyone here knows how you feel about AVENUE Q. There is already enough negativity on these boards without you adding to it with each of your posts. Please continue posting if you would like to discuss other shows and your feelings about them, but as I said, we already know how you feel about that particular show.

Itsucks... don't you already have a specific thread for ave Q hating? Or did it get deleted again?

[TheGirlinTheFrock]

Itsucks..different opinions are always welcome, but bashing a show isnt.

Well said, Matt.
