Now when I saw it on Broadway my first thought was "GOD, THIS IS LOUD" and my second thought was "HEY, I PAID A LOT OF MONEY TO SIT FRONT ROW MEZZ, AREN'T THEY EVEN GONNA ACKNOWLEDGE US DURING SEASONS OF LOVE?"FYI: No, they weren't going to.
Also during said performance, there was not ONE original cast member (THEY WERE ALL UNDERSTUDIES!!! The "Being Played By" wall in the lobby looked like the Vietnam Memorial. SHUT UP! I KNOW! My favorite/most loathed part was when the black girl in Seasons Of Love handed off her high note to the little asian girl next to her. She even did it with a "Vanna White" kinda of presentation.
It was pretty tragic. That's not true... there was really NOTHING pretty about it. I started feeling while watching RENT the same way I felt during Les Miz: DO I HAVE TO WAIT FOR THEM ALL TO DIE? (But then I found that in Les Miz I had to wait for them all to comeback as ghosts!!! HOW LONG IS THAT FUCKING SHOW!!???
But I
-That it looks like they shot the film on The Little Shop of Horrors set.
-Roger's hair
-That they didn't update ANYTHING
-EVERY dancing sequence.
-How "tragically dark" it was shot for theatrical purposes
-The drama everyone made over how old everyone was. (It didn't have anything to do with anything so what was the big deal?)
Things I LOVED about Rent the movie:
-Rosario Dawson
-The Funeral/"I'll Cover You" (Reprise) scene. (Freakin' PERFECT!)
