Why all the hype about Rent? — Page 2

CatsNYrevival-

As I said at the beginning of this thread, every show has its fans, not everyone is one. Being a fan of WICKED, or for that matter, ANY show, does not make you uneducated. Trying to belittle fans of a given show and personally attack them just because you don't like what they do...THAT'S uneducated.

Mimi- This is not mean hearted at all, I think Rent is a good show but if you think it's the best show ever created then you really need to see more theatre.

did anybody see The Green Bird a few years back?

me, too... i chose Annie Get Your Gun and La Chiusa's The Wild Party over TGB...

The one thing that may or may not been mentioned is that its different for everyone. the reason why everyone is having a problem explaining their love for the show is because of this. Everyone has their own unique reason for loving it. The characters are so diverse that so many different people can identify with it.

I completely agree with NYSTATEOFMIND04 said. "i think younger generations finally found a medium between their culture and broadway and that is why it is genius."

For me i can relate to what was said. It was the first show i really connected with. I was in 7th grade and like everyone that was a hard time. When i was upset i found solice in "one song glory" and when i was happy would turn on "la vie bohome" or many other ones. It also stresses people to be themselves. And growing up on that i believe was one of the greatest things possible.
