sorry i even started the thread - thought we could have some fun with the casting. also funny how everybody complains how so many shows don't make it and boo hoo for this show and that show. well, rent has been around for 10+ years and like it or not, it has made a huge impact on the b'way community. for those of you who like to mock the show, did you mock it 7, 8 9 years ago - or have you just recently turned on it?
again, i apologize for trying to start a new thread and not the same old "g/g or sa" chatter.

Welcome to BWW timrobb. Unfortunately, this is what some people are like here. It's what they do. Don't take it personally.

Posted: 7/4/07 at 2:55pmThe 2nd Leg of the Collins tour, minus Constantine. But Jaime Lee Kirchner, Brian Gligor, Jeannette Bayardelle, Aswad, and Marcus Paul James were perfection in their parts when I saw them (in 2003, I think).
