525,600 minutes...
with less than 7,000 minutes left (no, i'm not THAT much of a fanatic, they have the countdown on their website) until RENT closes on broadway after a 12 year run, i get a little overwhelmed every time i think of that final curtain call
although i'm a little sad that i won't get to see the final performance at the nederlander theatre, this play and all that comes along with it, will forever be a part of me (cheesy but true) when something resonates with you as strongly as this play does for me, you can't help but watch it over and over... if you haven't yet, do yourself a favor and pick up the movie - although i'll admit it's not the greatest way to watch the stories of angel, collins, roger, mimi, joanne, maureen and mark unfold, it's better than never having seen it at all.
there was a pretty good article in the globe and mail yesterday about the closing and about the show and jonathan larson (a story of it's own) - check it out if you have any interest (i know there must be a few of you out there who like to sing along to seasons of love)
i know for most of you, you won't understand the attachment i have to this play and it's beyond you to think - how the heck could someone see the same damn play 7 times over?... simple, the message that it brings with it and the energy it invokes, is mesmerizing - not to mention i have a personal attachment to the storyline and the themes that go along with it
that being said, we can all relate to the story line - those who have been touched by AIDS and those who have not... the message remains simple...
no day but today
