RENT tour thread — Page 7

Oh, I know.

"But plenty of screaming and appreciative "Rent"-heads were happy to pay to attend..."


Ug.

Not "then you" it's "than you!!"

I have only returned so that I can ask you to please not fiercly rape the English language.
That is all.
Buh-bye.

That's true....But....


You cannot stick a pen in everyones eye and you certainly can't punch everyone either.

By doing this about 90% of the audience would be out cold and you lame people would be all that's left maybe 30-50 of you.

Also by punching people and stabbing them with pens that would cause more screaming then ever and YOU would be distracting the people around you. Plus you would waste good money on a ticket and not even see the show.

I'll be there with a case of Bics.

Was that an intended pun?

Good point! (bad pun)

Forgive me for yanking this thread back on-topic

I saw the final performance last night in Cleveland. Believe it or not (and I know this might be blasphemy around here) this was my first exposure to most of the music and show itself.

My reaction? Not bad! I got a bit lost during a few moments, there were some parts that made me go "What the hell?" and some parts just plain annoyed me (I wanted to yell "WE GOT IT THE LAST 65 TIMES YOU TOLD US!!!" whenever I heard "Christmas bells are riiii-nn-ging") :P but overall I found the show very enjoyable. The cast were on FIRE. EVERY member in that cast can belt it out! Lots of energy, too.

And it was a thrill to be in the presence of Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal (I've seen/heard both in other shows and have always liked them).

Now the fun part. The audience was VERY well behaved. My friends who are way more into Rent than I am mentioned this was the first time they've seen the show without the audience screaming or wooing during songs. I did have two "lovebirds" in front of me who felt it necessary to have their heads leaning against one another the entire time. Not good for a short person like me, but I dealt with it.

I also overheard an audience member during intermission state rather matter-of-factly that "They just closed on Broadway and Cleveland is the first city in the world that's seen Rent besides New York." It took all of my self-control to not turn around and say "Uh, no it's NOT!!!" Little things like that amuse me.

I stayed at the stagedoor for about 25 minutes or so but there were no barriers, security, etc, and it didn't seem like anyone was coming out, so I left.

In the end I had fun, some memorable audience encounters, got to hang out with some friends who traveled a few states to see the show, and I can definitely say this tour is in top-form. :)

Did you and carrot top get kicked out, Celery?

Not yet.

I give it 2 weeks.

You're gonna love it! (at least I hope you will)
Either way, have fun!
