ok i walk in and the theater is NOTHING like the one in nyc or wherever. it was awful. the set had nothing there! no xmas tree, no out tonite bars not even a fucking table! it just had like a nyc background. ok so it started out like godspell. cast members just randomly walked on and stuff and i was like o geez this is going to be terrible!!! then mark began.... it began just like godspell too. he was the narrator and everyone on stage began to listen to him and cheered to what he was saying. so skary.... he didnt even say the whole beginning...joanne and maureen said some of it too! acccck! ok well during RENT there was all of this cheesy choreography... i couldn't believe it. terrible! and then during glory there was a chorus!!! a fucking chorus singing glory along with roger. oh it gets worse! light my candle - another chorus!! the mimi absolutely sucked. she was soooooo bitchy during the song. ugggggggh. then today for you - angel came out and the people (who stayed on stage during the whole time... even during glory) and they lifted him up in the air and he did this pathetic dance in this skary outfit! tango maureen was the usual you cant really fuck up that!!! during life support like 10 cast members got in a circle and started circling roger, and gordon... ugh skary! u think this cant get worse... o just wait.

OUT TONITE - ok no bars no nothing. i was so anticipating to see what they would do. mimi comes out on stage with a fucking chair and sits down. she doesn't even dance on it!! and she was just doing this lame ass dance the whole time on stage. then i was like o geez how can this get worse? well they had back up dancers behind her while she sang out tonite. oh my god! then she pretended to put on makeup and a coat and she went to roger's. her singing voice was good in this tho!! haha. ok another day was just whatever... then maureens performance. mind you she looked like a hefty minnie driver. well they had 5 chorus girls behind her acting out the whole routine... just singing and dancing away. ridiculous! and they made the whole part sooooo cheesy it was awful. when she was done the performance she screamed out 'i did it i did it look at me i did it' and started jumping her body all around. haha. la vie boheme they had 6 little tables all set up on stage and had this awful big chorus dance to the song. i couldn't believe it. it looked like choreography to 'there's one more angel in heaven'. after 'oblivious roger and mimi...' they started singing la vie boheme again. and doing backflips. it was 100 percent pure cheese. sooooo awful and embarrassing to watch!!

no it cant get better what can they do to the second act? o just wait.

seasons of love - fine
happy new year - they had a big fence in front of the stage which was actually kind of kool...ok.
take me or leave me - best song in the whole show. it was just like the original. jacquis seems to be the only one who knows what she's doing.
seasons of love b...

ok picture this... collins pitching an imaginary ball to angel... with maureen in the outfield and roger and mark in the infield. angel hits the first ball and catches it. after the second ball is thrown angel collapses and almost dies... while mark calls for an ambulance on his CELL PHONE. uggggh... i was actually cracking up.

without you - ummm ok i thought mimi and roger sang it??? nope mimi and collins...dont ask me why.

oh it just gets better trust me....

I'll cover you reprise - oh its going along fine until collins takes off his jacket and sports on a big white shirt with the gay pride flag on it. and oh yeh as he sings all these gay pride flags come down over top of him. yeh no joke.

ok just you wait!!!

goodbye love - roger doesn't leave first... mimi does...weird.

what you own.... OH MY GOD. right before mark sings they put on this suit and tie on him and get all of this media around him who pretend he's on teevee. awful!! and then this movie star comes on stage and pretending she is what she owns. haha. and then mark sings 'ur living in america at the START of the millennium.' oh you can tell i was getting pretty pissed!! argh! and then when roger sings behind him the screen shows monica lewinsky and bill clinton... and other american icons. awful! i was soooo fucking embarrassed.

after the show and after they bowed they came back and started singing seasons of love... left and then sang la vie boheme... i felt like i was watching grease.

ahh so there it is... if you have any questions just email me talk to you laterz.
