Rent tour; "two significant changes to the production" — Page 6

You sly hoots Danmag, good investigation!!

Yes That. I did post it.

I do scream and cheer but I don't do it for stupid things. Someone cheered for Angel's death and When The guy playing Mark took away the bottle from Mimi on new years who was drinking it and they were TALKING to the characters when they were on stage.


You don't know what happened when I went there. I'd say what they did was far worse.

Never did I speak to a Character.

There were girls in Adam t-shirts and everytime the guy playing roger moved they screamed for Adam....Who was not even there.

So before you attempt to call someone out on something. Know your freaking facts! At least I know who's who and I'm not showing up in a t-shirt with Adams face on it.


Yeah I scream people get caught up in the moment. I know people who are WAY worse then me.

ummmm, ok. Guess I won't be wearing my "I love Adam" t-shirt to the show...

Don't let this brat spoil your good time. You bought the ticket & can wear whatever you want! I'm wearing my Mimi Halloween costume to the show, even though I'm a guy. I don't care if people yell at me.

Wow, I missed the boat on this thread, didn't I?

Ok now I know your not serious about the Adam shirt but heres what I'm saying.

If you wanted to wear one then you could. That's your way of expressing yourself at the show. I see no harm in cheering in a characters entrance or if I song is REALLY good.

Besides people look down on RENTheads anyway. They expect us to act like that even before they arrive.

Now I'm noy saying I'm going to cheer the whole show. I see No Harm in doing it when a character makes an entrance. Same with if I liked a song and the way they performed it.

At least I know who I'm cheering for...I'm not gonna show up in an "I heart Adam" shirt if Adam's not even there. The girls cheered EVERYTIME the guy they thought was Adam moved. I cheer when I like someone or the number they performed and If I like the person playing.

"Maybe they can build "screaming rooms" in theaters like they have crying rooms in churches for babies. Then all the screaming twits could be locked inside and enjoy the show while screaming."

Unfortunately, at my church, parents still decide to let their babies sit in the pews with them. So I have to put up with screaming babies during mass.

This thread is hilarious. I love it.

NO.

On behalf of the rest of the audience who paid to be there..

SHUT UP.


How about you shut up? You don't know me and have never met me. Hopefully we never do meet. You think you can just come in this thread and tell me to shut up? Try again. I don't care who you are nobody tells me what I can and Can't do. It's not like you can come to my house and smash my keyboard.

Life is full of people who are going to annoy you.

DEAL WITH IT

Stop being a bitch and complaining about people and how they act. If you don't like it then just don't go!

I don't care about YOUR theatre experience. I don't let people bother me. If you let everything in the real world bother you then that's just sad. Why do you care what I or anyone else does?

WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD! NOBODY HERE CARES ABOUT ANYONE BUT THEMSELVES!

So, back to what the thread is TRULY about.

I agree that starting the show with Halloween is a great way to set the action in motion. It leaves a lingering sense that things aren't going to work out in the audience's mind.

And I'm too lazy to go back and quote this, but the Angel taking off makeup moment sounds absolutely gorgeous. However, if I was directing (and if I was it'd be fabulous lol) then I would have that during Without You, as opposed to the musical tables blocking that was there on Broadway. I think seeing walls go up in the other two relationships while Angel is taking her wall down would just be stunning.



And my two cents about the screaming and t-shirt wearing:

- I have worn a specific RENT made shirt under another shirt and then taken the other shirt off to stage door.
- I think it is appropriate to 'cheer' (not scream) during the regular applause. After without you? not so much? After Today 4 U? Why not?
- I think cheering in the first few measures of Out Tonight is actually beneficial. The energy is so high at that point and there is not much of a chance to applaud after the song.
- and clapping and light cheering is (i think) ACCEPTABLE when Angel runs out at the end because it heightens the energy for that last NO DAY BUT TODAY!

Anyone ever see that MadTV sketch where they had a bleacherful of overweight, middle-aged, screaming women and they wheeled them around a studio lot to scream for Oprah, and Ellen, and so on?

This thread totally reminded me of that.
