Let it snow!
Uhh, okay, that’s enough. No, really. Eee, make it stop! Damn. The two Rent performances today were cancelled on account of the near-record snow. (Even the Smithsonian museums have closed.) So though I woke up super early this morning and trudged through the snow to Warner Theatre, basically assuring myself a front-row seat since I was the fifth person in line, it all came to naught. We waited in front of the box office for a few hours, and then at around 10:00, someone came out to tell us today’s shows were cancelled and that the tour is supposed to continue to South Dakota this week, so they wouldn’t know until at least Tuesday if and when they would reschedule. Oh well. It’s not like I didn’t see Rent just last year, so it’s all right.
I have to admit the snow looked rather pretty, impassable though it was. Wide swaths of deep, untouched snow, quiet, desolate, and other-worldly. Well, let’s all just hope I don’t have to go to work tomorrow.
