"Only thing to do is jump OVER the MOON!"

Happy RENT day to you
Happy RENT day to you
Happy RENT day to everyone
Happy RENT day to you!

Mark: How do you document real life when real life's getting more like fiction each day? Headlines breadline blow my mind and now this deadline, eviction or pay! RENT!

Roger: How do you write a song when the chords sounds wrong? Though they once sounded right and rare! When the notes are sour where is the power you once had to ignite the air?

Mark: We're hungry and frozen!

Roger: Some life that we've chosen!

Both: How we gonna pay? How we gonna pay? How we gonna pay? Last year's RENT??

Roger: How do you start a fire when there's nothing to burn and it feels like something's stuck in your flue?

Mark: How can you generate heat when you can't feel you feet

Both: And they're turning blue!

Mark: You light up a mean blaze

Roger: With posters!

Mark: And screenplays!

Both: How we gonna pay? How we gonna pay? How we gonna pay? Last year's RENT??

Collins: How do you stay on your feet when on every street it's trick-or-treat (and tonight it's trick)! Welcome back to town, I should lie down, everyhting is brown and oh! I feel sick!

Mark: Where is he?

Collins: Gettin dizzy!

Mark & Roger: How we gonna pay? How we gonna pay? How we gonna pay? Last year's RENT?

Mark: The music ignites tonight with passionate fire!

Roger: The narration crackles and pops with incendiary wit!

Mark: Zoom in as they burn teh past to the ground

Both and Company: And feel the heat of the future's glow! Hoqw do you leave the past behind when it keeps finding ways to get to your heart? It reaches way down deep and tears you inside out 'til you're torn apart RENT! How can you connect in an age where strangers landlords lovers, your own blood cells betray? What binds a fabric together when the raging shifting winds of change keep ripping away!

Benny: Draw a line in the sand and then make a stand

Roger: Use your camera to spar!

Mark: Use your guitar!

Both and Company: When they act tough you call their bluff! We're not gonna pay, we're not gonna pay, we're not gonna pay, last year's rent! This year's rent! Next year's RENT! RENT RENT RENT RENT RENT! We're not gonna pay RENT!

Mark and Roger: 'Cause everything in RENT!




That was the fantastic work of Jonathan Larson. He drew young people back into the theatre! Incredible!

SAdly, he died the night before RENT's first off-Broadway premiere. How tragic that he will never write another song. That is our loss.

Today, mi amigo Vikki and I were the only one to commemorate this fantastic day! Ah well, I have converted at least one of these people. HAHAHA!


"Moo with me!"
"No day but today!"
"La vie boheme!"
"To the stage!"
et cetera! Haha, comment with your fave RENT quote!

"Forget regret, or life is yours to miss!"
"To anyone out of the mainstream, is anyone in the mainstream?"
