I wore my RENT t-shirt yesterday-and did the 2 record cd/libretto of
RENT at 3:30 pm yesterday.6:30pm NYC time.
5,124 minutes-performaces on Broadway.
I'll always use RENT as my CHRISTMAS EVE tradition too.
ACT I-in its ENTIRE-LAST 15/20 minutes of ACT II- synching the time.
I still can't believe this is-goodbye.
GOODBYE RENT LOVE.
NO DAY BUT TODAY-AND IT'S BEGINNING TO SNOWWWWWWWW!
I'll see the FINAL BROADWAY film of RENT-On Saturday September 27th.
Matinee.
Thanks Jonathan Larson for leaving such a sweet warm tender treasured legacy as RENT! VIVA LA VIE BOHEME!
