The Rent Welcome Wagon — Page 229

actually, it's really surprising, RENT doesn't have a warning, like avenue q does. i was EXTREMELY surprised when i heard that. but i guess some of the references, like in la vie boheme, go completely over some people's heads.

But CD Ratings were around in 1996 were they?

BEKA, I did that once for the Angst thread during its peak. Ouch and a half.


Wow, my crush thread is getting trumped my a thread dedicated to a straight 16 year old boy. *sigh*

Yeah, on bway.com and in the lobby of the belasco, it says Dracula is rated PG-13 for nudity - I was thinking why didn't Rent have that warning (I think AQ may be rated - or just have a warning other than the jim Henson one).

AQ is the only Bway CD I've seen with a "parental warning" on it - not even Rent had one...

Oh Tiff you are too much sometimes..

That's funny Fredi.. I love that song I can picture the dance as we speak..

On a side note.. I know they are doing the film version,but I do wish they would release the stage version too..

Hedwig is the first "Showtune Album" to have a warning
Q is the 1st official Broadway "Showtune Album" to have a warning

Wait, are we talking "ratings" like having those explicit lyrics/content stickers on the covers?

150 till i'm a legend! that's pretty good for less than 2 months...

thanks for that info star2b....

i do believe RENT is (more than) partially responsible for all of that..

i think my first parental warning CD was blink182 enema of the state. i still listen to that CD probably once a week... one of my all time favorites.

ok, can we all answer this? i've always wanted to hear this answered, for some reason...

what are all the broadway shows you've seen, and how many times?

i don't feel guitly..

i hear another actress was offered JoAnne but turned it down because of religious reasons....

I give thanks to her God everyday

let's see how I first heard about Rent:

I honestly had no desire to see it since it wan't like the typical musical...my friend went to see it and came back saying how great it was and told me the line "left him a note saying we got AIDS, before slitting her wrists (or throat, i forget) in the bathroom." So I said, sounds like a fun musical and took my 70+ great uncle to see it (well, he took me). I was embarrassed sitting there with him (and now we are seeing AQ front row)...nevertheless, I enjoyed it and saw it again with my friend (when she wanted to ask matt to the prom)....

Rent is still the worst (as far as language and actions go) show I've seen - worse than AQ in my opinion...
