DramaMama and Galveston, and really the rest of you thank you for contributing to the conversation. I find all sides compelling. And...I actually prefer thoughtful posts but then again, who wouldn't. I am once again rambling. Sorry, anyway carry on and thanks again!

I did not like the movie adaptation, however, I did give it a chance and see it. "Saggy butt?" Really? I remember that scene, and can confidently say that if her rear is considered dated than there is certainly no hope for mine, whilst still in it's late teenage years...

No need for arguments, wise women and men. You've all helped me to understand the show's main downfall: too much hype! Thank you, feel free to keep it going...it's really so intriguing to me.

Let me get my personal feelings aside and out of the way: I am very attached to the production and love it. Anyway, I was wondering from a mostly objective (but also from a subjective)perspective why RENT the musical gets so much criticism from the theatre community, and by theatre community I mean those who are well-seasoned in performance art/musicals. Not the majority of the youth or population really that has only seen or listened to a handful of musicals in general and therefore love the pr

I meant with Pascal as lead. However, I have heard so many mixed reviews of whether or not he improved it. I wasn't actually very interested in it when it debuted, not to mention when I saw the reviews bashing Kimball's performance...

Haha, I meant with Pascal as Huey, not the actual show. But I should have specified.

Haha, I tend to be the same when it comes to musicals. Can't bring myself to love the raved, can't bring myself to hate the ones I know are ruptured cow pies but am attached to nonetheless.

WHAT? Memphis is on Netflix?! I have no life, all I do is watch old episodes of How I Met Your Mother on there, all the while it was in the company of a production I was planning to see. Well, damn it, I fail. And I'm hoping with Adam in lead it'll be better than it was with Kimball although I've always liked him as an actor, at least.

Of what I've heard of the music(which admittedly isn't all that much) I actually enjoyed it...? The plot seems a little overdone but I am huge Pascal fan, so I figure it's worth a viewing, while I'm up there anyway. Thanks both of you!

Definitely Anything Goes. It's pleasantly infectious. I was expecting so much more from JCS. Good intentions, bad delivery.

I may be going to see this within the upcoming month on B-Way. Are any of you familiar with the music/production? How was your experience? On a secondary note, I have also heard that Adam Pascal may be touring with the show in the case that it is a success...however, this may also be complete hogwash. But I thought I'd ask anyhow!
