No day but today...
Nov. 29th, 2005 12:41 amAnd then there was RENT.
And Maya remembered a part of who she used to be. And who it might be good to be again.
I am so, so blessed to be where I am in life, and to waste so much of my time in worry and fear is a disservice to those who put me here and those who may not have the chance.
On the way home I was contemplating where I found out about RENT.
( Roots )
and also ( Vague family introspection )
Needless to say, I was very pleased with this rendition of the show. While some of it was over the top, it was so powerful and so beautiful that I can't bring myself to be really upset about the little omissions. You have to remember that I first learned the story from the songs alone, with the little notes in the lyric book... so if things were condensed, it wasn't too hard for me to adjust. The costumes and scenery were spectacular.
I'm sorry that Corina had been spoiled for certain parts, and that Jess just seemed generally unhappy toward the end. I hope people are ok, and better and... stuff.
So very much love to all the people I got to see tonight. You all rock, and I miss you guys that are so far away. I send you long-distance hugs!
