I just realized that we have yet again totally threadjacked.. We are sooo bad.. **slaps wrists**

Well that was cool of them, I remember when mine got me my keyboard.. It was cool because I got it for Christmas, but as soon as I opened it they told me that if this wasn't the one I wanted we would go get a different one..

---

Ooo I have a keyboard too...and a grand piano...so I really shouldn't be complaining. But still.

And it's not totally threadjacking, cuz it's RENT, so it's semi-relevant. But I shall shut up now.

---

It's because they were a bunch of conservatives who got offended.

Most of them were elderly ladies who had subscriptions to the theater's season and didn't really know the show.

As, I am guessing, were the 30 or so people who walked out of Kean. Not counting the autograph sharks who went out into the lobby halfway through the show cuz they thought...oh, don't even get me started on that. I wanted to hit them all. Except that I got like fourth row seats whereas I had been in the back...

---

Now that is funny.. Maybe they learned to look into what the shows were about after that! Serves them right! hehehe..

Speaking of audiences walking out, we actually had a ton of people walk out of our production of Once Upon a Mattress last season.. They were completely offended. It was the most bizarre thing in the world!

Er...

I hate to rain on the proverbial parade, but shouldn't this conversation be moved to the Random thread or somewhere?

I still say it's not really a threadjack...we're talking about theatre, not just random stuff.

I haven't read it, purely out of fear. The CBers do seem to hate it, though.

*sigh*

"The CBers do seem to hate it, though."

Wow. (thinking about the state of that screenplay)

Have you read through that thread? There's some liking, a lot of lukewarm feelings, and then HATE.

I'll say this much -- and not with much care as to how Anthony Rapp responds to this should he read it, because I think that as a fellow queer, he needs to consider this: Despite a few pleasant touches, the screenplay is an abomination. I doubt the gay community will be particularly pleased with the way that Chris Columbus's Mrs. Doubtfire sensibility figures into his treatment of Angel and Collins. Whew. Maybe he has a big heart as Whiteboy Spice said an earlier post, but it's pretty damn clear from that screenplay that when Columbus saw Rent live, Mimi and Roger's relationship was the ONLY one that he could relate to! Whew. BAD.

I'm switching to the Memoirs of a Geisha film bandwagon.
