In a nutshell ... Rent was inspired by the Puccinni opera La Boheme. It centres around two friends, Roger and Mimi, and deals with issues such as AIDs, death, loss, friendship, communal living and the everyday lives of a group of friends pursuing their vocations and struggling to pay the rent on their Lower East Side loft in Manhattan. Sadly Rent's creator Jonathan Larson himself died from an AIDs related illness before his musical became a huge success on Broadway and The West End. Diane |

I'd love to see Rent. I heard there was a film being made of it.
Also, Hair will be out in the West End by the end of the month I think! I really want to go see that!

Saw Beauty and the Beast last night!
 Wasn't too keen on the Beast being more of a comedy character at times as well as his initially fearsome selfish self, though, and Lefou was annoying. Gaston, Lumiere and Cogsworth and the Wardrobe were good, though,  and it was so clever how they did all the costumes and effects

Just wondering ....
Is "Blood Brothers" the same one that the Cassidy brothers wrote? David and Shaun? Always wanted to see that one, but never got the chance. |

Blood Brothers was written by Willy Russell and the main cast recording is the Cassidy brothers.
It is an excellent show. Personally I am hoping to go see Rocky Horror when it goes on tour this year. |

Thanks, Chris and Scotty. I'd obviously misinterpretted something David Cassidy said many years ago about the show. Still would like to have seen the show anyway.

Saw Cats last night, and was pleasantly surprised! I'd seen it on TV and was bored stiff watching it, but it was much better live! Mam and I decided to see it two hours before the show started, and we got good seats at the end aisle of the stalls, so the cats kept coming along right past us! Creepy at first, but we soon got used to it! We must have met about five of them each, and i got my programme signed by Old Deuteronomy, as he sat on stage during the interval! Also, there were large Christmas type lights strung around the auditorium, and when they were on or flashing it looked lovely, the place looked like a large Christmas tree!

I´m a Steinman fan, so:
I liked Whistle down the wind very much, was pretty impressed by it And Tanz der Vampire! Although I´ve just heard the CD recording, it´s one of my favourites, and I definitely have to watch it when it comes to Berlin in December
