I saw the latest production of RENT the musical last night. It’s been around for many years and somehow I’d missed it.
Last nights performance had a fabulous cast, fantastic music, sensational singing, brilliant band, tremendous costumes. But, I didn’t like it, okay, I didn’t like the content. I couldn’t relate to a thing and I wouldn’t want to!
The ‘real life’ of squatters, Aids, junkies, transsexuals, a woman leaving her boyfriend to be with her lesbian lover is something I have no interest in being exposed to, I was tiered which may have contributed to my non enjoyment, I could’ve quite easily left at intermission. It’s a personal thing, everyone else loved it regardless of matter. If you have an open mind (more then me) go and enjoy, it’s an absolute bargain at $35 a ticket.

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! I'm No. 1!!!!
Anyway... they probably won't show it here anyway... to adventurous for the deep seated methodist conservatives in my li'l town ;)
i'm not too conservatives or anything, but sometimes i do wonder about all the shows/movies that plays around with portraying 'real life'
i mean, i'm sure they exist, but i've never met anybody with lesbian lovers and all that. most of the time, real life are just plain vanilla. no?
I didn't think Rent portrayed itself as real life really, like you mention, most of the issue's are pretty intense.
I took it in the same vein as realism as Cats, or Phantom of the Opera :)
You're always number 1 GB! They made it into a movie too (as they do with everything)
treespotter - real life are just plain vanilla Thats what i think.
lucy - Very good point :-)
that's another one I haven't seen... I wanted to see it in NYC, but it sold out too damn fast!
