RENT- THE MUSICAL AT THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC/PHILADELPHIA PA

RENT- THE MUSICAL AT THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC IN PHILADELPHIA

Rent focuses on a year in the lives of a group of modern characters living in New York City’s East Village. Roger and Mark are roomates struggling with issues of poverty, loss and their own identity. Mimi is a troubled dancer looking for love and acceptance from her peers. Tom finds a new lease on life in the form of a heavenly angel. Joanne and Maureen clash over issues of trust and fidelity.

HIV/AIDS looms ver Rent’s makeshift family. Tom,Mimi, Roger and Angel are all living with the disease, and it comes up regulary in scenes and the many very moving and inspirational songs. The screenplay deals with the disease very gracefully. The story respects the pivotal same-sex relationships and expresses the many struggles in the life of these characters. Its a kaleidoscope of characters, colors and emotions. You will emotionally connect with the songs, the spirit, and the sense of hope.

This is a play for the sophisticated, yet open-minded to see. I attended with my two daughters and the experience was unforgettable. The Academy buzzing with emotional patrons and music swirling throughout the entire play. You laughed, you sobbed, you felt their pain, the compassion. The love between these characters, proves that family is made from love, not just genetics.

I most definitely recommend this play. If you missed it at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia, PA. I am sure your chances of seeing RENT are still very good in New York.

Peter Nero and the Philly Pops

Experiencing the Kimmel Center for the first time for the Christmas Show was quite special!!  I had never been there before and with the same last name you would think I would have been there long ago.  I venture quite a bit to the Avenue of the Arts in Philadelphia, PA.  But this was the first time for me with my special friend PW.  I will use PW, for my good friend who may want to remain anonymous.  PW is quite a special friend to me, and is my source for all information and direction in Philadelphia. She knows it like the back of one’s hand.  She is quite amazing to me, and I am always up for a new exciting experience with PW. 

So we ventured to the Kimmel Center, it was fabulous.  I was amazed by the architecture and the open atmosphere.  As I entered to find my seat I was just amazed by the beauty of the Kimmel Center.  The show by Peter Nero and the Philly Pops was entertaining, funny, festive and really got everyone feeling pretty united as we sung Christmas Carols together. I tried to sing, but was a bit off key, PW belted out those tunes, it was alot of fun. The Avenue of the Arts offers many theaters, from the Wilma Theater, The Merriam Theater, The Academy of the Arts, and the restaurants are phenomanol and just add to the whole theater experience  So if you would like to have a wonderful Christmas experience, visit the Kimmel Center soon!!  If you would like more info. on shows at the Kimmel Center, go to www.kimmelcenter.com

Mount Fuji/Hibachi grill/Southampton Pa 18966

Filed under: Entertainment and fun in Bucks County/Philadelphia area — Donna Kimmel @ 10:36 pm

Hey, heres a fun place to go to with friends or even a family get-together. I went to Mt. Fuji with friends for the hibachi grill and yes some delicious sushi. The sushi appetizer was delicious and fresh.  The staff is very friendly and accomodating.  We drank quite a few cosmopolitans, which were made to perfection.  My choice entree was salmon. The salmon was awesome, along with the little show and presentation by the chef.  My friends were happy with their entree choices, of shrimp, and the mt. fuji special.  How could we resist the desserts, fried cheesecake and a berry filled cake.  This is a great place to just kick back, laugh alot as small pieces of shrimp are being tossed at you. And you must, for the BIG CHEER catch that shrimp in your mouth!!  Have a great time, and be a little adventurous try the sushi… maybe next time, Therese and Carol…..Oh, how much fun it is to live in Richie’s world!!
