Posted: 12/13/05 at 7:07pmHey everyone, new to the boards, and just wanted to give a big hello!! first and foremost. Anyways just was wondering what everyones favorite musical was. For me it just has to be "rent". It was ahead of its time, and to this day is still making an impact. After the musical had run its course, i purchased the original cast recordings cd, that universal put out a number of years ago. It is in my opinion the closes thing to actually sitting in the first row. I highly recommend it to everyone, but feel free to let me know what you think. Also leave your favorites for us to read! Ta for now!
