Jhonothan Larson was the guy who wrote the lyrics, music and story of the amazing musical Rent which is the anthem of any artist, as it says in a book about the musical that I happened to be looking through. Jonothan died before the show opened, so he never had a chance to see it get onto Broadway and stuff and the book talks a lot about him and what an amazing guy he was. at the end his family put together a list of a few frinds who they thought he would have thanked, who they thought had an effect on him. and one name caught my eye - ann hamburger.
That sort of clinches my positive feelings towards her that grew from reading kevin's interveiw with her, which painted her as a totall theater person like me, who worked a lot in non-profit theater like me and is into innovation and doing new things and is hands on and who really wants to do theater. That's just how I would be if I had her job, and I would *love* to have her job. It is the ultimate thing to be - to be able to just be responsible for all the shows and stuff... wow that would be so much fun, I would turn Disneyland into a mecca for performance artists. just kidding, but some really cool, more abstract movement/visual things going on in nooks and crannies in the park could be really neat - the colors of Mickey come alive, or different types of big human flowers and plants reacting to different music from the classic D flicks in and around the Hub late at night... I don't know, sort of Fantasia stuff but live. well see, I've still got college to get through.
and since I'm in a Rent mood now,
VIVA LAVIE BOHEME!!!
