Posted: 12/13/04 at 11:05pmactually, 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.

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*

i'm not sure if cd's were being rated then...
i don't think anyone considered b'way shows to be like "regular" cd's but after we went platinum in less than a year - they thought again...

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...

Yeah, they were rated in '96 - I remember Jagged Little Pill was rated and that was in '95.
Oh btw, Cam, you're wanted on my crush thread.

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..

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

Hmmmm interesting about the nudty clauses...
Weird, but interesting...
And yea... Rent would totaly be AT LEAST pg-13.
Here in this cold white room tied up to these machines, it's hard to imagine life as it used to be. Laughing, screaming, tumbling queen... Like the most amazing light show you've ever seen. Whirling, swirling, never blue... How could you go and die? What a selfish thing to do...

Posted: 12/13/04 at 11:07pmWait, are we talking "ratings" like having those explicit lyrics/content stickers on the covers?

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

I'm not surprised.. But it's better to have that then to be censored..

i'm sure rent is VERY responsible for that. what other show talked about masterbation, dildos, and had live sex scenes on stage?? that's why we all love it... it's our guilty pleasure

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...
