35 Signs You’re A Recovering Renthead
Forget regret: there’s no reason to feel embarrassed about the number of times you saw Rent on Broadway.
2. Do you know how hard it is to be the one who OBSERVES instead of the one who PARTICIPATES? Yeah. You do.
4. You were way too emotionally invested in Roger/Mimi.
7. Be honest: you’re already getting a little emotional.
9. You wished you had a friend like Mark or Roger.
13. Your conception of gritty New York life was based entirely on the way these characters lived.
14. You were convinced everyone in the city was either an artist or a dealer.
15. This was the deepest lyric you’d ever heard.
20. You waited in miserable weather to get the $20 lottery tickets.
21. I mean, you’ve seen this show more than you’ve seen certain family members.
23. You can’t even count the times you’ve seen Maureen’s ass.
24. You were always loyal to the OBC. And you still are.
25. Of course, you’d make an exception for Aaron Tveit as Roger.
26. But NOT Vanessa Hudgens as Mimi. That’s sacrilege.
27. You listened to the OBCR nonstop in high school.
28. You knew exactly when to crank it during “One Song Glory.” (“Time flies. Time DIIIIIIIEEEEEESSSSS!”)
30. You knew all the lyrics to “La Vie Boheme.”
32. You can’t even see this without singing along.
33. You sang both the Maureen and Joanne parts in “Take Me or Leave Me.”
34. You never stopped mourning Jonathan Larson. And you never will.
35. But you honor him with your life motto every day.

Josh Tullos 2 months agoWhen my ex-wife first introduced this fantabulous piece of history to me, I got instantly hooked. Like, seriously hooked. To the point that I can recite 95% of the entire script from memory, and I change up my voice and sing the different parts… “What’d you forget? - Got a light? - I know you, you’re… you’re shivering… - It’s nothing, they turned off my heat and I’m just a little weak on my feet…” — Thanks for this post…

Mrhowdoyoudo99 2 months agoI should say how much I love it, based on before I starred in a production of it in college. A few people in the cast soured my love for it unfortunately. I still admire and love the message it portrays however.
