SPINNING.

[izzysala]

Andrew's face when Ben sings the "Poor guy's head is spinning" part gives me life.

[hannahkait]

OMG IS THIS WHERE THE "GO AND LOOK IT UP THE POOR GUY'S HEAD IS SPINNING" MEME IS FROM

[hunterk.]

for the people wondering what those "breathing things" are, they are vicks personal steam inhalers, they help reduce swelling in vocal chords and they also help with scratchy or tired voices (assuming their voices would be extremely tired because they perform so often)

[kkrocks]

Oh my God Ben.  Literally it just progresses into eventually the last riff he like changes keys and it's not even a song anymore just a riff LOL

When I went to see the show I got a backstage tour from a pit member. I got to see the Rent wall and started flipping out inn exciting. And going onstage was a dream come true.
