Is there a show with similar music to that of Rent, pop/rock type stuff. Basically, if someone is fond of the music from Rent what other shows would they probably like, in a music sense.

When I first listened to "Bright Lights, Big City", I immediately thought of Rent,

Well Jonathan Larson has another musical called Tick...Tick... Boom which I personally love.

tick, tick..., BOOM! is very reminiscent of Rent. If you like one, you'll probably like the other.

AIDA, I guess, based on the casting crossovers that went on... among other things.

I totally agree with Bright Lights, Big City, and Tick, Tick, Boom

I did not find Aida anything like RENT....and am probably one of the few who did not like Aida

Elphaba, it certainly doesn't sound like Rent and much as something like BLBC does, but it's still pop/rock.

I third BLBC.

Elphaba, I know many people who HATE Aida. I personally don't know it well enough to have an opinion, but you aren't alone.

"No More" in Tick, Tick...BOOM reminds me SOOOOO much of the SONG "Rent"

Jesus Christ Superstar isn't at all like Rent, but I'd recommend it to someone who likes Rent.

(I am scratching my head too.)

Pahaha! JCSS!!! Omg Patronus I am like in love with you right now lol. Just kidding-- I remember that was like the first musical I really started listening to then I switched over to RENT for awhile. I have no idea why but I always like to mix ALW with RENT and Wicked they sound so different yet they complement eachother :)

Tick, tick...BOOM! Is sooo much like RENT, of course it is the same composer.

Elphaba, no one is alone... especially not you in disliking AIDA.

[Katurian2]

Posted: 2/1/06 at 8:57pm

Yes....you are not alone at all. (In hating AIDA that is..)
