Chicago passes Rent in performances — Page 2

That's your opinion. I disagree, but i can respect what your saying. I think Chicago is a great representation on scandal in the Jazz era, and even though Kander and Ebb scores aren't my favorite, i still am aware of how good their scores are. Chicago just never appealed to me.

Some can say Rent is "sophisticated, brilliant theater". I, personally love Rent, but wouldn't say that. Does that mean i'm wrong? No. Does it mean the person that says Rent is sophisticated and brilliant is wrong? Also no.

So while you say Chicago is sophisticated and brilliant, i say it's not. Either way we're both right

LOL

Chicago is one of the most well written/crafted musicals in broadway history. It is very muhc sophisticated/brilliant IMO. The music is sensational, the book is marvelous, the coreography is legendary, it's a broadway classic. This show is fantastic and I'm glad to see that it's still going strong.

Rent is a gorgeous piece of rock theatre with a classic score. It's truly moving and wonderful. I adore both these shows

Chicago is timeless and will run forever. Enough said.

First of all I have never seen Rent. Not even once. It reminds me too much of grunge. I did see Chicago last Jan when I was in NYC, Cause John Schneider was in the lead role. And since I have always liked him, I brought the good seats and saw the play. It was good, the time period was a hard to get into. Not much into the 1930's Ganster ERA. The dancers were good.
