Tonight we saw Rent with original cast members Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal.  It was probably one of the most amazing performances I have ever experienced!  The first broadway musical I saw was Rent on Broadway in NY with the complete original cast.  And now tonight after seeing the final tour I feel like I have come circle in part of my life.  I have come from a life of verbal, physical, and sexual abuse.  I have worked on creating a life of my own past the pain and the abuse.  I have to be happy with the life I have created and learn to live everyday to the fullest.

 

I can't control
My destiny
I trust my soul
My only goal is just
To be
There's only now
There's only here
Give in to love
Or live in fear
No other path
No other way

No day but today... 

 

After the play we went backstage to meet the cast.  I was talking to Anthony Rapp and while I was getting his autograph he told me he loved me!  I also met Nicolette Hart who I have seen in Legally Blonde, Rent, and along side Bette Midler!  She even let me take a picture with her :D  Hopefully if I can ever figure out how to upload more pictures I will post them after our trip.

 

::UPDATE::

 

I'm home from my trip and overall the whole trip was great.  I got to re-connect with some old friends, make new ones, and was able to put the past aside and just enjoy myself.  Rent has always been a moving and inspirational play and now I am going to try and center my healing about the message.  No matter what I can do this! 

 

NO DAY BUT TODAY!
