Ya I know, Dear diary..
My girl got free tickets from a friend and had no clue what it was about-- just that it was the final tour. She's a Catholic private school girl so I thought "oh....this'll be fun........". (We did have very nice seats and I was ordering beers from the hostess lady like a madman)
Hot garbage. Spoiler alert:
Everybody uses heroine, gets AIDs and dies.
About 5 or so minutes before Act 1 was over she leans over and says "Let's GTFO of here and go over to Bohannon's for a drink." I sat my beer cup/now spit cup, down and obliged.
I guess that I'm NY, trans, gay, drugs, AIDs, white guilt phobic..........
Edit for-- ya I did a piss poor job of laying this out.
My adult female companion, who is very conservative and innocent about many things because she was shielded her entire life in private catholic school and private catholic university-- had no idea what Rent was "truly" about. She knew it was about kids in Manhatten trying to pay their rent--- but that was about it.
Content like this is off her radar because she's not big on plays or musicals-- not that I am either-- except for "Best little *****-house in Texas". I love that sheet.
