Seasons of Love.

I saw Rent yesterday, and while it wasn't as great as I had hoped it would be, it was still pretty good. In all honesty I didn't like the guys who played Roger and Collins. Collins was an American Idol finalist, and Roger was a South African idol. They both sounded great, of course, but their acting wasn't the best. I loved Mark and Mimi. "Why Dorothy and Toto went over the rainbow to blow of Auntie Em." That was really cute. And even before Collins opened his mouth in I'll Cover You [Reprise], two crocodile tears fell down. It felt good. It was a nice release from living under the bell jar these past few days.

Rent has two definitions that are important to me. The first is the fee you pay to live somewhere. The second says that rent means torn apart. And that's how their lives kind of are when we first enter the show. Rent. Then Angel comes, and she heals it. They all come together and are friends again. So of course, when she dies they fight. And it takes the near death of another to bring them back again.

There were somethings I didn't like about the performance, but there were alot more that I did like. I'm really glad I saw it though.
