We saw Rent tonight; Our first broadway play! It took me a couple of minutes to get used to the fact that the entire thing is sung, but once I got passed that I loved it. There were parts that brought me to near tears. I was feeling really stupid about that until afterwards, as we were walking out, I saw that many of the others were saying the same thing. Drew Lachey, Nick’s brother, was the lead. He’s a short little thing, but he was actually pretty good. His singing was a tad nasal at times, but overall I thought he wasn’t bad. The show is a bit raunchier at times than I was aware of, but I think it was a good first choice.

The playbill listed other shows that are out and now we have a whole list of things we want to see. Molly Ringwald and Jason Biggs are in something….Ethan Hawke and Wallace Shawn are in a new show opening soon, and then there is Billy Crystal’s 700 Sundays, which sadly isn’t playing even half that many Sundays! Ohhhh, I think I remember reading a while back that Jeremy Piven and Andrew McCarthy are in something together…I wonder if that’s closed yet?
