Scruffy5389 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I just did a quick search and didn't find anything like this subject, so here goes. How many people like RENT the musical, whether you've seen the movie, seen the show live, or just listened to the soundtrack? I recently went to see it live in Boston, and it was awesome. I didn't really like Mimi's performance, but everyone else did an incredible job, especially Roger, Mark, and Collins. Comments? Favorite characters or favorite songs?

MyPurpleCrayon Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I'm a play/musical fanatic, and having worked in/read/seen/heard many, Iâââ‰â¢d say itâââ‰â¢s at best an âââ¬ÃÅokayâââ‰â¢ musical. But Iâââ‰â¢m biased. I don't like the plot, and I don't like what it stands for. But one thing is for certain, it has some of the best written music ever. The music is so beautiful, it's a shame that it was written for something like this. Nowâââ¬Ã¦ Wicked, Beauty and the Beast, My Fair Lady, Sound of Musicâââ¬Ã¦ those are some fabulous musicals in my opinion. :P Ghost: I am prejudice towards ignorance, so that would explain why I appear to be so.

Guest GhostRanger Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 The music is absolutely wonderful. I could listen to the soundtrack for the rest of my life. I get irritated watching it though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plot is a little thin. I personally think that the music makes up for it, though, especially live. Some lines, some harmonies... incredible. I would say it's better than Wicked for just that reason, but I've only listened to the Wicked soundtrack a couple of times (my sister saw it live, but I was working :evil: ), so I don't really know.
