I finally saw RENT - it was so incredable, I want to cry, lol. I loved being able to see most of the original cast (only 2 of the members were not from the original cast). I absolutely love Idina Minzel, so it was so awesome to get to see her. I understand the whole story better now - idk if that's b/c it's the second time I've seen it (saw the stage version back in January), or just b/c it was presented in a different way.
But I have to say, I like the stage version better b/c it was non stop energy and emotion throughout the whole thing. "Contact" wasn't in the movie - with it being rated pg-13 I didn't think it would be. For me, seeing that number performed on stage was so moving...words can't describe it. You listen to the song and think it's just about ppl having sex - which is it, but it's about so much more than that -- idk how to put into words what I want to say...you'll just have to see it. lol. I know there's a touring going on and it's hitting Chicago...
I've been so unproductive this break as far as homework is concerned - I suck horribly. I'm reading Gelsey Kirkland's autobiography for the third time (lol) to write a paper comparing and contrasting her to Twyla Tharp. I'm a little over half way through with it, the paper is due next Monday, I can't bring myself to skip ahead in the book - I tried doing it last night and I couldn't -- it's just so good and Gelsey is so honest. It's a good read, I reccomend it -- Dancing On My Grave.
Oooh, I saw Rita today!! lol. Her and her friend were coming out of the movies as Jen and I were going in. She dislocated her shoulder (ouch) and I'm not sure why - I never asked. But we didn't talk long cuz it was pretty cold out. But I will see her and Kim on Friday!!!! hehe, I'm so excited. I think I'm more excited that they're coming and that I get to see them, than I am about the ballet, lol. Is that bad? My part sucks, so I don't really care.
Gosh, I'm in such a good mood. I was so bitter on Thursday (Angela - remind me to tell you about that), partially b/c I hadn't seen RENT yet and now I have!!! I definately want to see it again!! :) But what pissed me off was at the end, ppl laughed. It's all sentimental and everything and ppl are laughing - I was so mad. Stupid ppl - don't go see RENT if you're not gonna appreciate it for what it is!!
ugh, ok, I should get ready for bed. Maybe do some homework, probably just read, then fall asleep. Back to school tomorrow and rehearsal all week :/
