Rent

Pros: Great song list, unique and innovative plot, good character development
Cons: Some acting problems, a few odd moments

I liked the movie better. So sue me. Don’t get me wrong. I enjoyed this play. It was a better than the average show, thus the four star rating. However, blame it on the hype, but I thought it was going to be a little bit better than it actually ...

Pros: Great set and location, good music.
Cons: Broadway theater had acoustic problem, mediocre acting.

I went to see Rent based on all the strong reviews I have read plus all the awards it has won. I was somewhat disappointed in the experience. Since Rent has been on Broadway for over 7 years, I suspect they are riding out their reputation rather than ...

Pros: Energetic, passionate musical with a powerful message
Cons: Music was a little bit loud for my taste!

315,100 hours. Jonathan Larson, author and composer of Rent, died ten days before his 36th birthday, on the night of the final dress rehearsal before its Broadway opening. Larson, who had Marfan's syndrome, had been struggling with the side...

Pros: Great story, great songs, great characters. Funny, sad, sweet, exciting... has something for everyone.
Cons: In some ways stereotypical towards certain groups, may offend some with subject matter.

I have had the pleasure of watching Rent twice, the first time in Bismarck, ND, and the second time in Fargo, ND. Those two viewings of the musical are,however, only the tip of the iceberg so to speak when it comes to my exposure. I have listened to the ...

Pros: Addresses *real* issues head on, great music, lyrics, story, just top-notch!
Cons: The second act is sometimes choppy and difficult to follow.

I'll admit, I was almost turned off to Broadway musicals by the time I went to see Rent. I'd been dragged into numerous shows I couldn't relate to, didn't understand, or thought were just plain bad when they came to my fairly pathetic city, and was about...

Pros: Enjoyable production, good music, talented actors and musicians
Cons: Confusing at times

"Five hundred twenty five thousand, six hundred minutes...how do you measure a year? How about love? Seasons of love." So goes the most memorable song from the hit Broadway show, RENT.

If you want to treat your teenager to Broadway,...

Pros: This is the most amazing show, and is definitely a must see!
Cons: OBC isn't running anymore

"There's only now
There's only here
Give in to love
Or live in fear
No other path
No other way
NO DAY BUT TODAY"

Jonathan Larson's Pulitzer prize, and Tony winning Play "RENT". Rent is a...

Pros: fantastic music, good message, a unique theatre-going experience
Cons: subject matter may not be for everyone

My epinion of Rent is going to be based, not really on the performance I saw, but the performance I know it can be. I'll mention my experience just so you know there can be problems, but this was not the norm. The show that I saw in New York on...

Pros: Beautiful music, a truly inspiring plot, and a burst of atmosphere
Cons: One little problem in relationship development, not good for youngsters

As if being in New York City wasn't enough of a treat, I got to see this musical on Broadway. Walking in, I was worried about how it would turn out for me. You see, before RENT, my Broadway musical experience consisted merely of CATS, a truly puerile...

Pros: Very
Cons: no one got arrested

Rent, by Jonathan Larson, is the update of La Boheme. Larson died, in 1996, a few months before the Broadway opening of his multi-award, including a Tony, for best musical and a Pulitzer Prize, winning play. Some would question the need to update a...

Pros: incredible music, outstanding performances
Cons: airfare...hotel rooms...I need a bigger paycheck

This is not a musical. This is a life-changing experience.

Think I'm kidding? Since I saw the show December 7, 1999 I have lost 40 pounds, told my husband I'm leaving (this is a good thing...), quit smoking, started singing again, I have new...

Pros: Great music, terrific cast, and a very thought provoking story line.
Cons: May not be appropriate for younger audiences; contains mature content and language.

RENT takes us Back to Bohemia. The show will take you into NYC where people are struggling with life, and everything that comes with it.

But that isn't all. The music to the show is delightful and catchy.. and you'll be singing the songs for...

Pros: great acting, great music, good message
Cons: some issues may be offensive to some people

Many people find that the critics are almost always wrong; for instance, they might say a great movie is lacking in plot or talent. Often, Academy Award nominations are unsatisfying. If you are someone who finds this to be true, you will adore Rent.
...

Pros: a great show with great songs, a talented cast, unique stage structure, interesting storyline, and a good flow
Cons: the rows of the Nederlander Theater are rather small

If not for my girlfriend, I would not have seen Rent. This was her Valentine's Day gift, but I also enjoyed it immensely. The cast is a young group of twenty-somethings from all walks of life, playing all sorts of characters. But while I highly recommend...

Pros: Great cast (they worked very well together), great script, great play
Cons: May be quite racy for some, has strong language and suggestive scenes

“How do you document real life, when real life’s getting more like fiction each day?”
“Will I lose my dignity? Will someone care? Will I wake tomorrow from this nightmare?”
“Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes; how do you...
