I have sound again. Yay!
I have sound again. Yay! What am I listening to? Rent, of course.
A few assorted notes about the show that didn't make the journal entry:
- The guy who played Roger (Christian Mena) was gorgeous. The fact that he's pretty much the "romantic" lead didn't hurt. Tortured musician types. Yummy.
- I think the guy who played Mark (Matt Caplan) lost a filling during "What You Own". Yeah, I was that close. Something flew out of his mouth while he was singing and he sang the rest of the show holding his mouth oddly. If that's the case, what a trouper! :)
- Never correct yourself onstage, especially if you're singing. So what if everybody there knows it's "Scarsdale" and not "Scardale".
- Mimi (Saycon Sengbloh) was a little ball of sexual energy. Just about every time she came onstage, she got catcalls from men and women alike. Of course, considering that two of the three couples in the show are same-sex couples, this shouldn't be surprising coming from the audience. Her costumes might have had something to do with it too.
- Considering the above fact, and considering how raunchy the show was in places, I'm really amazed at how many rich old suburbanites I saw. I sort of wonder how many of them left at intermission.
- When I came out of the theatre, I saw the die-hards lining up for the good seats for tonight's show. There weren't many of them. Then I saw a sign that said those tickets were only $20. If I'd had $20 in my pocket, I would have settled myself right down in that line and seen it a second time. No question about it.
