Rent: School Friendly Edition

One of the benefits of being a teacher is that you get invited to enjoy certain school events for gratis. And of course, this benefit carries over to the spouse on certain occasions as it did last night when we enjoyed dinner and the show "Rent" (the school friendly edition) at Loyola Academy. Now sadly we never did get to see the production on Broadway, we did get to enjoy the DVD and all I can say is the kids at Loyola blew us away with their version of the production. Tweaked a little from the original to make it appropriate for teenagers on stage, the story is intact and so are the songs and I wouldn't be surprised if some of the leads will be future American Idols.

The dinner was also rather enjoyable too!
