This One's For You April

Hey all (or just April, who is likely the only one who will ever even look at this)!!

April handed me all the necessary details for getting back on the blog train (drop it like it's hot yo), so here I am. I am pleased to see that April gave Rent a little nod in her blog. I saw the same touring cast she did and it was AMAZING. If you have not seen RENT yet, you truly have not lived fully enough. Especially Roger in that cast. All I can say is this - who else can make horrible purple plaid pants and a baggy green shirt look that HOTT?? I'm not normally one for boys in nail polish but DAMN! So good. Plus he had a fantastic voice and coveyed just the right amount of anger and gentleness to play his part very convincingly. If any of y'all are keeping up with American Idol, you'll know Constantine, who just so happened to play Roger when I saw RENT with my awesome cousin Nate-o. Nate didn't like him so much, I dug, but this year's guy was way better. Too bad his band Sugardust supremely blow. Meh well that boy was made for Broadway anyway. Besides the fact that Roger was jump-worthy, I also completely and totally love the story contained in RENT. It has such a wide variety of characters and situations and the writing is absolutely genius. I think if I could have dinner with 10 people dead or living, Jonathan Larson would be right there with Jesus. RENT definitely has a place in my heart, and with good reason. SEE IT. Just trust me on that one. Oh, and for those of you who think you could 'never be a theatre person' a la Joannne, you'll be happy to know that a movie version is in the works with many of the original cast members. I only hope it doesn't royally suck and that they do this creative masterpiece justice. Ine question April . . . what's wrong with the trecaly ending (or whatever it is you said)? What does trecaly even mean??
