SBell0105 07/29/11 7:35:00 AM #54:	I am very Anti-Rent When I was in highschool 1995-1999, it was just when Rent had come out and EVERYONE was f*ing obsessed with it. It was the "cool" thing to love it and everyone was cool. I couldn't stand it. I've carried that with me since then. The wife absolutely loves Rent and saw it a bunch of times. I've slowly began tolerating the music but I still cringe a little. -- (\__/) (='.'=] < http://img.imgcake.com/sbellcardjpgub.jpg <cite>SBell0105 posted [p:138226] in There are ...

Jmast7 07/29/11 7:46:00 AM #55:	OK, my Top 5 list (subject to change if I think of something else) Jesus Christ Superstar A Chorus Line Evita Chicago Les Miserables (though Rent could be here) Honorable Mentions: Ain't Misbehavin' (Awesome Fats Domino show. Get the album with Nell Carter) Billy Elliot (saw it twice with two different kids playing Billy) Company (not my favorite soundtrack, but amazing production) Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (saw this in Vegas, they had an incredible Elvis) ^_^ Next To Normal (simply excellent all around) Little Shop of Horrors (fun to see on stage, Steve Martin is still the best Dentist ever) Phantom of the Opera (classic) Rent (saw this twice as well) Sunset Boulevard (I saw Glenn Close play Norma Desmond in this. Fabulous. Very underrated show and soundtrack) -- "If God hates sin and Satan punishes the sinners, aren't they on the same side? Aren't the judge and executioner on the same team?" <cite>Jmast7 posted [p:138227] in There are ...

My mom also loves it because she went to school with the author of the book. But one summer I had a student that would come into lab and sing the freakin' thing all day long. One day she then had the audacity to also throw the soundtrack into the CD player. That was quashed right quick and officially ended the Summer of Oz, but the whole event still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. I hate being mean to people, but this was by far the most annoying, immature student I've ever had and she really soured that musical for me. :P -- "People always have secrets.

I just looked up tickets for Mormon again. $69 for a seat in the very last row of the mezzanine but if you want to get even 3 rows closer it shoots up by like $100.

Vengeful_KBM 07/29/11 9:10:00 AM #65:	To put in my two cents: I've always thought Wicked was a bit overrated, myself. I feel about Wicked the way a lot of people feel about Rent (which is a show I love): I like it, but I don't love it, and I'm confused by the people who do. I love hearing Kristin Chenoweth sing any part, and I really like Idina too (in certain roles, anyway), so I listen to the recording from time to time, but about half of the songs are good (No Good Deed and What Is This Feeling being particularly awesome standouts) and about half are pretty blah (Wonderful is the most annoying song ever). That said, check Kerry Ellis' version of Defying Gravity for something jaw-dropping: I was introduced to Kerry Ellis as Svetlana in the concert recording of Chess and she blew me away. She's...damn good. -- Recorded B8 Mafia record: 13/24 <cite>Vengeful_KBM posted [p:138237] in There are ...

yoshifan823 07/30/11 1:05:00 PM #68:	I am so goddamn sick of Rent. I was in a production of it a couple years ago, and I'm so sick of it. If you think about it, it's a bunch of terrible people complaining about the dumbest things. I went to NYC in May to see some stuff. Mostly plays (I got to see Robin Williams, Ben Stiller, and Keifer Sutherland, among others), but the best thing I saw was Book of Mormon. Exactly as funny as I thought it would be. <cite>yoshifan823 posted [p:138240] in There are ... [t:59858058]...</cite> <quote> I am so goddamn sick of Rent.
