Rent

Today I went to see Rent. It was absolutely amazing. I am so glad and so happy that I was able to go. It was an early b-day present. The show was baller because of the songs of course, the story line, the actors and also because of the shows history. One of the coolest things about this showings though, was the fact that it starred Adam Pascal as Roger and Anthony Rapp as Mark. Not only did they reprise their rolls from the movie, but also they were the original Mark and Roger from the 1996 opening.

It was so much more of a rock thing than a musical, audience wise. It is technically a rock opera but everyone cheered and clapped when they stepped onto the stage and when Angel appeared in "Today 4 You." It is such a moving story and made even more bitter sweet by the story of the director, writer, and composer, Johnathon Larson.

It was indescribable to see it on stage. I am so lucky.
In honor of the event I am changing my last thought

No Day But Today.
