John Flynn (Oh, Hey Guys) wanted to talk about any song EXCEPT “Tango: Maureen,” so Beth and (former swing dance champion) Sarah invited him to talk about “Tango: Maureen.” John talks about seeing Rent shortly after it opened on Broadway, watching Daphne Rubin Vega’s final performance as Mimi, and his seedy side hustle handing out infrared listening devices to Rent audience members. This episode also includes the classic segment “How Does Your Face Deal with Crying” and, over the course of the episode, John inadvertently answers several trivia questions Sarah and Beth had planned to ask him in the final segment. Be sure to donate to Everything is Rent’s Kickstarter to get Melissa Etheridge and k.d. lang to record a duet of “Take Me or Leave Me”!
