Rent: the 2nd time
So I went to Pittsburgh today to see the show again. I was sad because Telly wasn't going to be in it, but looking forward to it none the less. We went to Subway for dinner because we kept getting lost, and I wanted to get in the theatre about an hour ahead of time so that we could buy all of our t-shirts and stuff. After everyone got what they wanted, we went and waited in line to go into the auditorium (which was really small, and not as pretty as the Ohio, but still pretty, and the sound was amazing!). I ended up talking to an usher for about 15 min of the 30 we had to wait before we could go inside about Rent and dance and how we'd come from Columbus and such. Time flew, and soon she told us we could go in. Our seats were fantastic! We were in the 10th row on the right side and
the seats were laid out so that I could see the entire stage perfectly! We got to see four understudies and that was really exciting. Caren Tackett was the most amazing Maureen ever! I loved her... seriously she was fantastic!!!! It was fun getting to see all the other actors go on too, and seeing how they made the role their own. I have to include this detail so that I never forget... lol Anthony Rapp did a dance that involved circling his hips and shimmying in the middle of Tango Maureen, and it pretty much made my life! He also did some dance move while Adam introduces him during La Vie Boheme that made me giggle. Adam threw his guitar pick out into the audience and I was like who ever gets that is the luckiest person ever! Adam seemed a lot more into the show this time, and he was smiling and seemed to be enjoying himself more (though that may come with getting to know people in the cast better and adjusting to tour life... idk) The amp didn't work right for the first "The power blows" before Rent, and after a little bit Adam gave Anthony this look that said "say your line anyways!" and Anthony went ahead, and for a while you could see Adam and the rest of the cast laughing in the background. Justin did his wings during Happy New Year which made me really happy. I'm about to fall asleep sitting here.... so hopefully I'll be able to remember more tomorrow and I'll edit this post.... lol
