Is anyone looking forward to the movie Rent?
I got pretty involved with the whole Broadway show several years back because of an interesting story:
When my daughter was a teenager she worked at a Pizza Hut with another teen who had an amazing singing voice. All the kids who worked there wanted to know why he was waiting tables when he should be singing on Broadway. Lo and behold, one day he walked into the Pizza Hut with a suitcase in his hand and informed them that he was heading for NYC because of their encouragement. Of course, they were all kind of freaked out and nervous about what would happen to the poor kid in the big city. Two weeks later he had one of the lead roles in the musical, Rent. Needless to say, my daughter had to go and see it, and she invited me along. We ended up going to dinner with her friend, and when he performed the show on the road in Miami, we went to see him again.
It is really a fabulous show to see, so I can't wait to see the movie.
