My wife and I went to New York (from Newport, RI) the weekend after 9/11 because they were having discounts on everything to get people back to visit. Well we decided to grab a bite and see a broadway show. Yieks! What did we see? Rent!!! It was ghastly!! Horrible! We still tell people how stupid we were and what we thought the show was going to be about was New York City but more in line with Phantom of the Opera which we did see and we saw the Lion King at another time so we thought why not. We have not seen a show since. We may never again!!! lol.
Never saw “Rent”. My ex and I walked out of “Kiss of the Spider Woman”. My mom wanted me to drive to see one of the misicals as part of a Broadway series in Seattle to see “Edward Sissorshand” I walked out about five minutes into the performance.
