I saw Rent tonight. Will was just perfect. He was so into it, and every moment he was there, raw, and just in the moment. He perfectly encapsulated Roger's feelings. He was mad, and aggressive when he needed to be, but yet knew when to smile to show that Roger CAN be happy. His voice was great. He did his own things with some stuff, aka did not sound like a replica of every other Roger I've heard. His expressions were spot on, even when he wasn't in the spot light. I am so glad I caught him before he left, and I can't wait to find out what he's in next so I can see him perform again.
Oh we missed each other, Fantabulous. My friend and I won lotto and had front row seats. Will was fantastic! He really captured everything that was Roger. He was aggressive and passionate. The voice was just phenomenal. He definetely is up there with Norbert as my favorite Roger to date. Updated On: 1/28/06 at 12:30 AM
Well my friends had "circumstances" this weekend so it looks like I won't be seeing Will in Rent after all.

I chose, and my world was shaken- So what? The choice may have been mistaken,
The choosing was not...

well i won the lotto and u guys got the tix, billboard :) tho u got tix too... we were good renthead samaritans today! too bad em & i were all rented out.
i grew up 13 miles north of bohemia and 31 miles northeast of hicksville.
maybe then it's a good idea to start a "i'm going to try the lotto" today sorta thread for when ppl are going. i saw it last week w/em so me & em just went to help fantabulous & billboard (don't you love these names) get some extra shots in... but since 3 of us won and only 2 wanted to go we wound up giving 2 other pairs away to people in the crowd. but yeah will chase = awesome even if every 13 year old girl and her mother agrees.

Besides the concert, does he have anything else coming up?

Tonight after the show, I felt like I was at the Wicked stage door I didnt even get a chance to congratulate him on a great run and a fantastic show. He does have a nice web site though.
Percy: Sink me! If it isn't Javvurt!
Javert: Zsah-vair, it's pronounced Zsah-vair.
Pecry: But it's spelled J-A-V-E-R-T Javvurt.
Javert: Repeat after me Zsah...Zsah....
Percy: Oh! Zsa-Zsa! Like the Gabor sister! Well I personally have always prefered Eva.
Javert: (Looks for gun)
With every other Roger I've seen, I've missed Adam's voice/take on the character at some point at the other.
With Will, I just soaked up his performance blissfully. At some points ("Goodbye Love", "Another Day") he seemed almost too violent, but he happens to look and sound really great when he's pissy, so it's all good.

It was during Goodbye Love were he was a bit too violent. He nearly attacked Mimi with complete fury there and Benny rushed in to stop him. He was very passionate, thats for sure.
Matt looked like he was about to piss his pants in Goodbye Love. He just stood there while Will was being so physical and even grabbed the back of Matt's head so they were staring right at each other.
