Apologies, RENT

I've been super swamped with tests and assignments lately and because of this i've been neglecting my blogging duties, so apologies for the absence.

Anyway last Wednesday I went to see the Broadway musical Rent. I've always had a thing for musicals but I had never seen a musical live on stage before and I didn't really know what to expect, but I must say that I really enjoyed the experience. One thing that I noticed was the difference between acting on stage and what I see on t.v. and Movies. I noticed that the actors' movements were much larger and emotions more exaggerated on stage.

The story tells of a group of artists squatting in an old loft in New York in the 90's as they try to live and create while facing things such as eviction, commercialism, and homophobiaism(not sure if this is a word, probably not) under the shadow of the AIDS epidemic. I was surprised at the kind of light hearted take the show had on the subject, that is until the characters started dying. At which point tears almost started welling up in my eyes, shhhhh don't tell anyone.

The songs I liked the most were probably the opening number: Rent, Seasons of Love and Take Me or Leave Me.

I recommend that you see Rent if you get the oppurtunity, it's pretty bad ay.

After looking at the pictures and not liking any of the ones that i'm in only going to post this one
