Rent

Last Saturday, I saw Rent for the first time live since the 90s.  I own the DVD of the closing performance on Broadway and I have seen the movie version.  I know the lyrics by heart.   Seeing it live does heighten the emotional impact.   I found myself crying from "Without You" in the second act on.   

Interesting tidbit, near the end of act one, the police sing a jarring line "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas."  This time the word right was inserted after white.   Good nod to current events.
