How Rent Won Me Over First understand that my review comes from a person who is unfamiliar with the original Broadway play. I resisted the idea of a modern rock musical, and didn't identify with what I thought of the subject matter. When the ...
Pros: Great Music, Every Song From The Movie, Beautiful Lyrics Cons: none
Jonathan Larson really created a masterpiece when he wrote all of the songs for the musical Rent back in the early 90's. Chris Columbus took all of his music to present the story in a motion picture format that came out recently (Fall 2005). The ...
Pros: The original cast is back! Cons: So is my original ambivalence.

Pros: Best rocking musical score in decades. Cons: Newcomer Rosario Dawson lacks the passion of Broadway original Daphne Ruben Vega. She's emotionally flat.
The first reviewer is a hard act to follow and I wont even try, as I'm not a writer. I've seen the Broadway production of Rent 11 times, mostly with the original cast nearly 10 years ago, even camping out in front of the theatre a few times for first ...
