This particular excerpt from a review by Glen Weldon of NPR's Arts Desk hits the nail on the head:
Arthur suffers one of his many onscreen beatings at the hands (and feet) of a bunch of Wall Street bros on the subway, who taunt him by singing "Send In The Clowns." Nearly in its entirety. (The scene goes on for a while.)
It's really the only time in this otherwise grounded, grim and gritty film that we're asked to suspend our d
As a queer person of faith it saddens me that the loudest voices are those that turn people away from the church. Not all Christians are anti-gay––and really, none should be. If your faith causes you to be super judgmental and comes from a place of us vs. them and hatred instead of a place of compassion and love, then you're doing it wrong.
Religion isn't the problem: religious extremism and fundamentalism is.
That's not a mistake. It was originally "feeling, power" but changed years into RENT's run. A cast member told me it was because there was confusion that they were singing "feeling power" instead of "feeling, power" so they swapped the words.
Does anyone else find it extremely confusing when a show is considered a NY Times Critic's Pick but the review is not a rave or only mostly positive? What are the politics behind that I wonder.
I think casting someone from "RuPaul's Drag Race" as Angel is an inspired choice and a good move in terms of publicity but...Valentina?
I'm also a bit puzzled by Jordan Fisher as Mark.

So growing up I was OBSESSED with Godspell. I have a scrapbook of sorts that could be a director’s prompt book for the show. Seriously.
So here are my thoughts on the new cast album.
1. Tower of Babble
One of my favorite songs. Strange but true. I’m assuming this number is all concept in this production because by itself I hated it!

They do, MichaelBennet. That's where I got mine in 2007. There were a few left. It's really a great souvenir program.
