[Mb-hair] RENT

[richard haase]

i agree with you totally michael
my estimation exactly
although the pt on the tonys is something i hadnt thought with
no this is not a fire fight
this is literary discussion
im not fighting anyone
the pt about the tonys is right on
i mean who listens to george m today?

> A better than good show, but not HAIR.
> Thus I can only wish the film the best and hope the play continues.
