Rent



Rent was a big deal. Like Hamilton big deal. I hope Hollywood gives Hamilton a better movie in 10+ years.


Now Rent is considered silly by some:

            WE'RE NOT GOING TO GROW UP
            AND GET JOBS AND PAY OUR DAMN RENT
            EVEN THOUGH EVERYBODY DOES IT,
            AND SOMEHOW THIS MAKES US
            SYMPATHETIC CHARACTERS! ~ Broadway Abridged

And profound by others:

Perhaps the people who hate Rent see their younger selves in these characters and they don't like that. After all, most of us are whiny and selfish when you're young (and we artsies can be the worst); we still have growing up left to do. Though to be honest, a lot of people in their forties still have growing up to do. It’s not hard to see a parallel to American politics today. ~ Scott Miller
