We love Rent

Ranked #10,985 in Music, #291,237 overall

What an amazing show "Rent" turned out to be.

This movie adaptation from 2005 tells the powerful story first brought to us in 1996 in the Broadway show created by Jonathan Larson, who regretfully died before seeing his show come to life. It tells the story of a group of Bohemians living in New York's East Village during one year of their lives. It covers a broad range of topics from true love, broken hearts, HIV/Aids, drug addiction, death, and of course.... paying the rent.

Two of the notable actors featured in this film adaptation are Jesse L. Martin, who appeared in Law and Order, and Idina Menzel, the Tony award winning actress from the Broadway musical "Wicked".

This is one of the most emotional movies I've ever seen, it left me bawling at the end as you follow the lives of 8 people living in New York city. The other tragedy is knowing that Jonathan Larson never lived to see his story told, and see what it has become.

As this is a musical, the soundtrack should not be overlooked

and the soundtrack of this one is particularly amazing.

Rent IS the best.

boshemia says:

RENT is such a powerful story, I still can't make it through the funeral scene without sobbing. The songs are amazing, and the philosophy... no day but today.

Wrong! It's the worst!

cffutah says:

Well, its not the worst just strike me yet as I haven't seen it. So, who knows, it could be the best thing since sliced bread!
