In the past two years, I've been to New York City four times, and everytime, even if I am not seeing the show, I make it a point to walk past our beloved Nederlander. Everything from the bright blue dumpster to the life size photographs of the Original Broadway Cast give me a sense of coming home to a friendly and warm place. A safe place. Unfortunately though, our theater is in a state of disarray. Some fans enjoy going to the theater and illegally expressing their feelings for the show on the facade of the building. It is perfectly fine to love this show and love the message and the actors and the man who wrote it, but vandalism is wrong. Even positive vandalism. I'm almost embarressed to call the Nederlander my Broadway home because it is the only theater that sports that kind of thing. The root of the vandalism is unknown. Some think that the fans who write on the facade of the building think that they are writing on the famous Rent Wall located backstage that has been signed by such legends as Danny Devito and Rhea Perlman. A few weeks ago a group of fans got together for a Nederlander Cleanup. Armed with Pinesol and Mr. Clean they arrived at the theater under the cover of night and scrubbed their little hearts out. By four in the morning, they had made a huge difference and the theater finally looked decent again.

There is still a lot of work to be done to make the theater look it's best again, and rumors flying around that the clean up crew has been banned from the lotto.
