How many times have you seen RENT? I've seen the whole show 16 times and the first act 18.
How many times have you rushed? Well, I've only really rushed 7 times. (Eight if you count my very first time seeing the show - I didn't get rush seats) But I always wind up getting free tickets from nice people. And actually, I think it can be counted as rushing more than the seven times, because Katie and I like to get there REALLY early (yes, we enjoy sleeping on the sidewalk, why do you ask?).
Fave color: Ummmmm....I dunno...can you guess? I think it's Green.
Fave food: Bread
Fave book: The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux
Fave movie: The Wizard of Oz, all 3 Screams, Ferris Beuhler's Day Off
Fave animal: Dolphins...I like little dogs too. (No, that was NOT a Wizard of Oz reference.)
How much do you love Matt? Let's put it this way: I'd marry him and have his children if he asked.
Why do you love Matt as much as you do? *Clearin my throat* That's a toughie. Well, he's honestly the most talented guy I've ever seen (heard?), he's a TOTAL sweetheart at the stage door, never says no to pics (even though he's probably thinking something like "Don't I have about 500 pics with you?"), always chats with us...He's just a nice guy. And he's never given me the impression that I scare him with my gushings...AND he was REALLY cute when I gave him My Matt Mix...
Fave Matt Quote: "Something in the way your body rose and fell with distant sighs..." ; "Looks like I gotcha boy, and you've still got your hands in the..." ; "So, beautiful girl, how in the world can I convince you that it's true..." ; "Fine, take your crummy flowers..."; "Yes, I'll take another picture for your STUPID web page..."; "I throw something down to you...I spit on you, isn't that enough?"; "You made it, you should be able to name it whatever you want...", After Katie humilated me and asked Matt if he would Tango with me - "This is ALL you're getting - Let's go." (There are a few hundred more, but I'll refrain.)
Favorite Matt Song? GREEN BAY. *Sigh* Divide and Conquer, how can you NOT love a song with the line: "Something in the way your body rose and fell with distant sighs..." only thing is, I can't even remember like...my NAME when the chorus plays. THEN - Cookie Jar. If there wasn't even a SLIM chance that Matt would read this, I'd say something VERY naughty. And Favorite Puppet - sentimental reasons...AND Look Alive. AND Prophet or the Propheteer. AND - I could go on forever but I'm going to run outta room.
Fave song from RENT: The Tango: Maureeeeeeeeen
Fave line from RENT: I have a few favorite lines..."Anyone alive with a sex drive?" "Has she ever pouted her lips and called you...Pookie?" ( Both of those for TOTAL sentimental reasons) "I quit - Unless you take it back!" and the whole "There is not future...there is no past..." (Up til No Day But Today) and (last one, I promise) "How'd you know we be here?" "I had a hunch."
Fave character from RENT: I LOVE Roger's character...Not to sound really stupid or la-di-daish, but the character itself has to go through the most changes in the show - he's complex, but still has a sense of humor, as bitter as it may be. It just seems like it'd be really challenging to play all the different emotions he's got going on. *shakin my head* And all you wanted to know was my favorite character...Hope you don't mind the detalied analysis into the mind of Roger Davis...lol.
If you could be one character in RENT, who would it be? *deep breath* Well, I WANT to be Roger, but for obvious reasons THAT'S not going to happen. I'd LOVE to be Mimi, but doesn't everyone want to be her? And if I WAS Mimi I wouldn't get to sing the Tango...SO, that leaves Joanne, which is okay, because it's sorta eerie how much alike I am to her (aside from the whole lesbian thing, and I'm not black, BUT I do have soul and can SOUND black...) and I can actually, you know HIT her notes - which is a definate plus.
Fave actor/actress who's been in RENT: Um... Matt? (Duh) Besides Matt, Jacqueline B. Arnold and Curtis Cregan. And Dommy Roy kicks ass, along with Karmine Alers, Jeremy Kushnier, Maggie Benjamin, Dana Dawson, Joshua Kobak...The Benny tour...Could I be more vauge? (And Manley Pope is a HOTTIE and he gave me a stack of playbills, that count?)
OBC, Angel, Collins, or Benny Cast? The Bennies, all the way!
