Rent [Original Broadway Cast] by Original Broadway Cast

Pros: Lots of awesome songs with great artists
Cons: Not the greatest content for young listeners

I'm sure that a lot of you have heard the song Seasons of Love, with the phrase stating that there is 525,600 minutes in a year. That is why I bought the soundtrack. It's corny I realize but I liked the song. So I purchased the soundtrack for $34.99,...

Pros: amazing lyrics, music, emotion
Cons: none

For anyone who has not seen Rent, either on Broadway or on tour, GO!! Rent is by far the best musical I have ever seen, due greatly to the soundtrack (it is a musical, after all!) Rent is the musical for a younger generation. It is not stiff and...

Pros: Wonderful music and great message, story!
Cons: Not a single one, unless you count making you want to see it or see it again!

"Rent" is a soundtrack that is truly filled with energy and moving music! You will be enjoying this soundtrack for many years, never getting bored from hearing it over and over again. The soundtrack does a good job of basically taking you on...

Pros: Great score, amazing lyrics, talented vocalists, gut-wrenching humour
Cons: Adult language and themes

When I was a young lad of about 11 or 12, I was sent up to New York City for an audition for a commercial (Off the topic: I didn't get it). While up there with my family, we thought we would catch a Broadway show or two. Standing in line for tickets in...

Pros: Great music, strong vocalists, both fun and serious songs
Cons: Few songs you'll want to avoid completely, such as "Contact"; some swearing, sexually explicit words through entire soundtrack

I would like to start out by saying: If you are a traditional, conservative theatre-goer, Rent might not be for you. You'll be appalled and probably disgusted. The first time I heard this music, I was thinking "WHAT is this?" The lyrics...

Pros: Emotion in every song
Cons: Lyrics get stuck in your head

As a financially strapped student, entertainment has to come cheap and it has to be worth they money I dish out. I had been hearing my group of friends rave about the musical "Rent" for a very long time. Because the average price of a...

Pros: Realistic, and Energizing
Cons: It may offend some stuck up people.

RENT. As a musician in the business myself, first of all, I have to say how thoroughly enjoyable the intense rhythms and melodies are. So many different musical styles are crammed into such a great show. There's classical references, as well as funk,...

Pros: Fresh Rock Opera, Cool Concept, Catchy Songs, Witty Social Commentary
Cons: Why the Stevie Wonder thang?

Who doesn't love Rent? I'm serious. If you have seen Rent or at least heard the soundtrack and hate it, send me email.

Rent, like The Who's Tommy and Rice's J.C. Superstar (they found the name of the Christian Messiah objectionable. How...

Pros: Everything about it
Cons: It's a little expensive, but all broadway soundtracks are...

The original broadway recording of the hit Rent is absolutely breathtaking. The music is modern, fast, up beat, and it tells a marvellous story.

The reason I purchased the CD was because I went to see the play with a school function. I was...

Pros: So Many Pros
Cons: So Few Cons

The Original Broadway cast recording of RENT is most likely my favorite CD set in my collection. It could be because I am a theatre major with a minor in vocal performance, or it could be because Jonathan Larson was an amazing musician, and all the...

Pros: Original lyrics and outstanding harmonies that you can sing to!
Cons: can't think of any

I'll be honest. I only asked for this CD (I got it as a gift for the holidays) because of the song Seasons of Love. I figured if that song was so great, the rest of the songs must be awesome! Listening to it the first time, I thought I had made a...

Pros: Won a Tony and a pulitzer prize, great music and message
Cons: Mature

This show has more to teach then meets the eye. Some of you make think that its plot is raunchy and unfit for teens. Yet it is one of the greatest American accomplishments off all time. It has won a Tony for best musical and a Pulitzer prize for drama....

Pros: The interesting new story line
Cons: The music is hard to follow unless you have seen the musical

My mother saw this show in New York, and fell in love with it. She played the CD for me and I had my doubts. I thought it sounded insane.

Then Rent came to our town, and I bought tickets for her for Christmas one year. I went with her. I...

Pros: Amazing set, characters, plot, music and lyrics
Cons: on tour so you can only see it every couple years without traveling

I absolutely loved the musical RENT. I have already seen it 3 times, and I plan to see it again next time it comes back to Boston. Especially in this day and age, it is a story that actually tells a touching story about being poor, homeless, in love,...

Pros: Great story, terrific music, strong voices
Cons: NONE

Pop rent in, turn the music up loud, sit back and prepare to be astounded. Jonathan Larson's untimely death never allowed him to see the success gained by his project of love. A wonderful tale with a fantastic cast who provide strong voices for the...
