Fredi...
I apologize if this has already been asked, seeing as there are 451 pages of questions for me to go back and read. (I've gotten through about the first quarter)

But what was your offstage relationship with Idina like when you were in RENT? I mean- I know what it was like onstage- there had to be such chemistry... and I'm sure that if there wasn't, then Joanne and Maureen wouldn't have worked.
and What's your relationship like with her now? Does her becoming so successful and achieving near superstar status impede your relationship (or her relationship with her old [and actually some soon-to-be] castmates in any way?

oh and wow I forgot to mention how much of an inspiration you are... with your desire to share your talents and the things that bring you so much joy (art/artsed) with kids... that's the most important thing a person could do.

yeah I understand- I'm going to keep reading. But from what I am reading, I really think its amazing (your project that is, the one you were just talking about above- artsed school).

Really is the most important thing a person can do

Awwwh no its supposed to be like

Maureen - it's me , Joanne, your substitute production manager, Hey, hey, hey!

man, I'm gonna change that... I don't want people to think I have a fat albert quote on my prof (no offense to Kenan, I think hes a comedic genius - sometimes)

[OneLastRefrain2]

Posted: 1/8/05 at 1:44am

yeah, I've never put that line with Fat Albert either... not when you listen to the RENT soundtrack every day and hear it coming from Joanne- its funny actually, every time I saw that preview for the Fat Albert movie, and i would hear Hey Hey Hey! .. i would think in my head - Did you eat?

Is there anyway that I can just post and reply in this thread without it taking me back to the main board everytime? (sorry I'm a newbie, I have lots to learn)

Okay, so maybe you culturally-knowlegeable will have seen these movies-- any of you seen Tarnation?

Feature it, its great.

Fredi- you still get contacted by fans? I remember the days when those girls had a fan club for you... Erin Laye I think was part of it and then started one for Idina

[OneLastRefrain2]

Posted: 1/8/05 at 2:11am

Wait.. quick before we start that discussion, whose seen the movie Tarnation?

[OneLastRefrain2]

Posted: 1/8/05 at 2:18am

okay, well its a movie... kinda an Indie film, but gotten pretty big (AFI named its release as one of the top 10 events of 2004 (along with big things like the retirement of Brokaw)..

anyway, its about a boy who's documented his real life (though it's getting more like fiction.. haha I crack MYself up) since he was 11... he had a bipolar mother and a very troubled childhood, and finally hes taken this footage and adapted it into a movie.

Anyway, my fist Cousin is a film editor... and he's becoming so successful- so I'm very proud- but yeah so he edited this movie, Tarnation... so I'm trying to promote it for him

(sorry if that was like an Ad)

But, he also edited the movie the Woodsman... which I guess youve probably heard of (Kevin Bacon's new movie)

Any of you seen that?

Posted: 1/8/05 at 2:24am

oooh wow this is cool. I IMDBed my cousin ... and hes done alot more than I knew... like The Laramie Project (The Matthew Sheperd Story), Beavis and Butthead Do America (That's one to be proud of), and Lackawanna Blues (that's George C. Wolfe's'/Halle Berry's project)

I love IMDB... and google.... cause it led Fredi to us!

Naked Cowboy... whoever buys those records will be wasting their money.
People on these boards really did go crazy about the Idina incident...

[OneLastRefrain2]

Posted: 1/8/05 at 10:18pm

Notthatgirl I take it you like Wicked

There are crazy Wicked fans at BWW

[OneLastRefrain2]

Posted: 1/8/05 at 10:21pm

ooh hey Allie!! nice to meet you. I'm new 'round these parts, so bear with me.

Did you people know each other before hand? or have you become vowel twins through these boards

Posted: 1/8/05 at 10:23pm

This may seem very random... but did most of the OBC of RENT smoke? (not the ensemble)

[OneLastRefrain2]

Posted: 1/8/05 at 10:28pm

"OK, i thought i hated the Wicked fans (the teeny bopper ones) but with what's goign on with idina and her last performance - i have a new hatred for them...." -BSoB

AGREED!! What is going on with that?! I respect Idina SO MUCh as an artist, she's amazing. But her fanbase consists almost totally of 12-15 year old girls who are OBSESSED with her.

To me she isn't the kind of person that is so appealing/attractive to "kids".
