Off Broadway... Rent

Caught the very cool and edgy 80's set musical last night called Rent, in a little modern theatre Off-Broadway (the next block over).

Rach lined up in Times Square for discount ticks. you can get up to 40 percent off on the day and well worth it.

Set in the 80's, in downtown New York, Rent looks at the struggles and bohemian beauty of the gay/arts scene at the time when HIV was emerging as a major social issue.

Great actors, a live band, very cool little theatre. High energy- at times the actors were on top of the crowd dancing on fire escapes.

A great night out except for the $4 "its $4 for a reason" sangria Rach got... we did however also have Junior Mints (a snack man walks around the theatre selling snacks) which are Amazing- yes, thats with a capital A :)
