New ish to being a landlord and unsure how to proceed fairly.

Tenants moved out recently and house smells like cat pee in basement. I learned of the cat several months ago and tenants didn’t deny it. The lease specifies no cats but dogs allowed upon approval with monthly non refundable fee per pet. They had two authorized dogs. I did not add the cat as a fee when I learned of it because it had not been authorized. Tenants were month to month by then trying to buy a house and expecting a baby. They stayed far longer than planned which I was flexible about. They also painted walls with very dark color which is also not permitted and stated clearly in lease. They broke a window which they told me about and stated that it happened because the window did not stay up properly and asked us to fix that which we agreed to do (didn’t agree to cover cost of glass repair but to either repair the window so it would stay open or replace entire window. But because they were trying to move and by then had a new baby in house they requested we wait to do repairs until they move out so as to reduce disruption. We agreed to this.

What if anything should be retained from security deposit given these issues?

Hello, my partner and I will be traveling via RV this summer and fall around the Midwest. We’d love to see some excellent outdoor Shakespeare. Recommendations?

TL/DR saw a surprisingly moving production of Tommy recently and was surprised by the depth and emotional experience (in addition to the rocking good time). Curious about character portrayal in Broadway and tour productions in comparison.

Hi there, this is a specific question about a show that isn’t currently running so perhaps this will be too left field for many replies on this sub but a conversation with my partner sparked curiosity that we haven’t been able to satisfy reading through previous discussions. So here goes:

We recently saw an astounding production of The Who’s Tommy at Interlochen Arts Academy (boarding school) in Michigan. Neither of us had seen this musical/rock opera performed but both have wanted to as we are fans of classic rock, live music in general, and are also avid theatre goers.

This show was so beautiful. The connection between older and younger tommys and the character portrayal in general was so tender and the trauma and psychological journey of the lead was deeply moving. We actually tried to see it once more just to watch the little boy playing ten year old Tommy. He was particularly remarkable. We expected a somewhat campy, if disturbing at times, psychedelic rock show with fun strange visuals and dancing. It was that too but we were surprised by the emotional experience.

We are planning some travels during late summer and fall and we’d like to see a couple of musical tours along the way. We are considering tickets to the national tour production of The Who’s Tommy in Cleveland but we may opt for something else if the take is less character centered and more focused on spectacle. I assume tours typically resemble the recent Broadway revival? If so can anyone here share whether the tour might also offer a similarly touching emotional journey to the production we saw in Michigan? It’s an odd show and reviews on this subreddit about the Broadway production didn’t seem to have much positive to say about the character development or narrative journey of the characters.

Many thanks in advance!
