The Official RENT Love Thread

I loved the movie. Though I can see certain things that people didn't like about it, I think a lot of RENTheads were just being extremely picky and rude. But I think it was done amazingly and I'm so glad that people who never had the chance to see it on broadway now can.

I've seen the show and the movie and yea, they are different to a certain extent but they both have their major advantages. I can't say which I actually liked better because there are things that work much better for both. I think that if I saw the OBC perform it, I'd say I like the stage version better but ya know...! And just think, Rentheads are extremely lucky. Look at how many times Phantom was made into a movie before it was actually made somewhat close to what the stage version is. That show has been made into so many different things, but the first time Rent is made, it is made incredibly close. We are extremely lucky. Plus, so many more people have been affected by Rent now because they can FINALLY see it. A lot of people would've never thought to see it on broadway but have seen it through the theaters and have been effected like the people who have seen it for years.

*steps off soapbox*

*edit* btw, this isn't towards the person above me..it was just a continuation of my rant, lol.

I love Rent. Broadway can forever thank Jonathan Larson for really helping to re-spark broadway when this show came out. It's such so sad that passed away, luckily he already had put this amazing show together, but I can't even imagine what else that man may have produced.

What I really love about Rent is that it isn't a perfect show but the great message, wonderful songs, and personal connection the show makes with everyone allows for those flaws to be over looked and not standout.

How I love Rent.
