serious rent addiction help!

I really think I'm addicted to Rent. I've seen it 4 times, listen to the cd every day, have Rent screen saver, Rent magnet, and basically look forward to the next time I'm going to see Rent as I'm leaving the theater. I've seen Daphne and Adam oerform at Kean and I saw the cast last week at a question and answer session at Kean, saw cast perform at Bryant Park over the summer, I read the message boards every day and only read the Rent threads. Is this normal. This play has touched me so much. Get this, I even called the theater to see if they were hiring in any capacity(concession, etc...) just to be near the show however you have to be in a union. I've taken 3 Rent virgins to see the show and they don't seem really moved and I think that that is really strange. Anyway I would love some feedback. My friend says I need an intervention.

It's not strange. A lot of people are addicted to a show. I was addicted to RENT a few years ago, but then realized there are a lot of shows with potential addiction-ness (Is that a word??) RENT is just one of those shows that people fall in love with. It's not weird to love it so much.

4 times? That's nothing compared to some people!
I don't think there's anything wrong with being passionate about it. Just remember that there's other stuff out there as well that you might be missing, so try to branch out a little bit.

you'll only need help if you start stalking people
for now, you're ok

Check the videos at Bway.com ~ some girl has seen it 100+ times....

It's true.

GET OFF OF HERE.

Yeah...it's not addiction, yet. Join the club. I realized my obsession today during Bio, discussing HIV/AIDS and kept writing lines from the show in my notes.

I've seen the show many a time, and love it. My friends aren't at all theatre fans, and don't really understand my love for it, but that's okay. I don't consider myself one of those 'insane rentheads.' (I consider myselfa renthead, minus the insane part lol). I think it's a healthy addiction...unless you're chasing the castmembers down the street, singing along with the show, going there every weekend and freak out every time someone says the word 'RENT,' then I think you'll be okay lol.

And yay for fans of DRV :).

Trust me, until you start responding to "Chips anyone?" with "You can take the girl outta hicksville..." -- Everything is A OK!

*worries about self*

greenified, Ive pretty much gotten the same response from the guys at the lottery "...but you won yesterday!"

I think it's probably a good thing I don't live in NYC...

I've gone eight times since August and plan on going at least twice more before the year is up...

Ya know what? There are lots of great plays on in the city. You kids need to expand your horizons.
