Trust me, I've seen plenty of other stuff as well. Just because I like to go back to an old favorite doesn't mean I don't appreciate a lot of other stuff too. Now, 1000 times is a little much, I agree...

Why do we play with fire? Why do we run our fingers through the flame? Why do we leave our hands on the stove, although we know we're in for some pain? -tick...tick...BOOM!

I've seen it 72 times now. The last 4 times were October 4, 5, 7 and 8 on Broadway.

I'm so jealous of everyone having the chance to go to the lottery every day. I think I'd do exactly the same if I lived in NYC and not in stupid Germany where no one understood this great show.

I consider Rent my hobby. I think what a lot of people don't realize is that Broadway shows can be very accessible to people. I've seen every musical currently running, as well as a number of ones that have closed, a handful of plays, and Rent much more than anything else. Not because I don't like or appreciate anything else and don't want to expand my horizons, but because I like Rent a lot. I like seeing it often. I enjoy the music, the story, the message, the characters and the cast. I think that's an okay thing. There is a point where it becomes excessive, but that point is different for everybody. It does have the ability to take over your brain though, so it's not necessarily a bad thing that you are into it as much as you are. It's a great show.

It's ok, man. When something touches you, you want to be part of it. I told my cousin about the Rent movie, and she told me I was obsessed. That was mean, and I was offended. So, I know how you feel.

I love Rent! I'm seeing it for the second time in a two-months, lol. Its my second favorite musical. My first is Les Miserables, and I currently have thirteen tickets to that in my house (three of which are for me... I'm seeing it three times in a two-month period, and I'm dragging all my friends along). I get quite scary. But there's always someone scarier. :P As long as the rest of your life doesn't suffer, then you're fine.

And I'm not expanding my horizons? I try to see every musical (and non-musical) possible! I adore live theatre of all sorts, and I'm always eager to see something new. Rent (and Les Miserables) just happens to be one of my favorites, and I can't get enough of it. I see it every chance I get, but I also see new stuff every chance I get. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

But now we have come almost to the end. One last step. And then, when I take power, they will be pulled down and ground into dirt for what they did to you. And what they did in so contemptuously underestimating me.

I see nothing wrong in loving a musical. I also love rent and have seen it 6 times. It helps that the tickets are somewhat affordable but if you love a show see it how many times you want. Just my opinion and letting you know that you are not alone in being "addicted" to Rent!

"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell plus i proudly share the title of the shortest member over the age of 10 with wickedrentq!

I am glad I am not the only one. I've had the CD forever and it's the only soundtrack I can listen to over and over and over again...

I FINALLY saw the show on Saturday (seen it twice touring) and can't wait to see it again. The show runs through my head, I've been searching the net for anything I can find on it since Saturday. I was surprised that I enjoyed Jeremy and Drew since I absolutely adore Adam.

Rest assured, you are not alone in the Rent obsession.

Did you see the Broadway show this past Saturday?

If so, I was there. :)

And you get a very big 'yay' from this gal.

Yes, Saturday was a Rent consumed day... started with buying my tix @ TKTS. Then went to Virgin to use the potty and found Adam's new CD. Then saw RENT and *sigh* amazing!!!!

It was a VERY good Saturday!

Matinee or evening? Where'd you sit? Did you love Kelly? *cough*

A girl has to know these things!
