This looks really good. I was hesitant about the show. Couldn't really see it being performed well on stage. After reading reviews and now seeing the pictures, I really hope this transfers. It's such a great CD.

Looks like the Rent: Remixed thing in London. Looks pretty good creative wise...

It looks like it should be Off-Broadway. To begin with, at least.

The back wall looks like it's from A Beautiful Mind: The Musical.

Hello, Theo was naked on stage 8 times a week when he was in HAIR.

I saw this last week and it reminded me of the following:

RENT, SPRING AWAKENING, PASSING STRANGE and ACROSS THE UNIVERSE all rolled into one show...I also think that they should make some cuts here and there...even though it is only 80 minutes or so long, I got tired very fast...did not give us time to breath at all as an audience...

I know, but there are no "official" pictures of it.

If I have to sit through this and hear "When September Ends," I think I'd rather just pay someone to punch me in the face.

Wait, so using chrome bars in a set means Rent now? I better tell my friends! Should I also warn them that using wood bars is only acceptable for Into the Woods?

That said, the walls could REALLY use a makeover if those white and black things are supposed to be newspaper.

Looking at the title of this thread I thought it was a Kanye West thread.
