"Every morning is a fresh beginning. Every day is the world made new. Today is a new day. Today is my world made new. I have lived all my life up to this moment, to come to this day. This moment--this day--is as good as any moment in all eternity. I shall make of this day--each moment of this day--a heaven on earth. This is my day of opportunity." ~Dan Custer
for anyone who was not graced by being able to see the original cast on stage, I found video clips from Rent. Lot of interviews, but two videos of some scenes on stage.
