Members of the first national touring company are also excited about Rubin-Vega's return. She's so cool. It's kind of weird because you're like, 'Oh my God. I remember last week when I came in for one rehearsal. I just stopped in my tracks and was totally freaked out.
Rent fans share that excitement.
Many of them camped out Tuesday night for the run's first preview performance on Wednesday night. All of this buzz and expectation, though, can generate pressure for an actress. I'm completely, completely confident. But you know, I've never performed out here before, and I'd like to say that I don't give a shit what people think, but that's not true. So hopefully, if I do my best, someone will like it.
