Goodbye, love...
Rent is the show that really introduced me to Broadway.
In high school, it was the show I dreamed about being in. It was the PERFECT show.
In college I discovered "better" shows. I recognized that Rent wasn't quite finished when Jon Larson died, and that it therefore had it's flaws.
When I heard about it's closing, I told myself that it had a fantastic run. It's time for a new show at the Nederlander. It didn't phase me too much.
It's closing in less than 24 hours, and I'm just now beginning to realize what an impact the show has had on me. It made me care about theatre. It made me care about AIDS and LGBT issues. I thought that Angel and Collins had the most beautiful relationship, ever. Heck, it made me want to move to New York. It helped me discover who I am today...
I just want to curl up in a ball and cry. I didn't expect this.
At the risk of sounding like a fanatic Renthead....
Goodbye, Rent.
Thank You, Johnathan Larson.
