"it was poignant with a narrative that spoke to today's youth"
I remember queueing up to get RENT tickets back in Melbourne. I mean it is a musical about people not being able to pay rent so they had cheap front row tickets for people who can't afford to otherwise watch a musical. Thrice I queued. Thrice in the cold. Four hours wait with other RENT heads, exchanging milk-bottle gummies for nachos and reserving a place in the line whilst the Mimi-wannabe went to the toilet. I got those tickets. I was so close I could see the spittle from Mark and Roger.
I wouldn't call myself a RENT head but having seen it three times in Melbourne and twice in Singapore I'd say that I'm a big fan. Though I wouldn't go so far as to dress up as the characters. ~chuckles~ There's another production of RENT circulating with Karen Mok as Mimi. I wanna see it. I've got to see it.
In the movie, it was all there, Maureen and Joanne's powerful duet. Angel and Collins' "I'll cover you". I felt that some of the best stuff was picked out so as to appeal to non RENT fanatics. Which was a shame because I'd love to have seen it all.
It was great all the same.
It was RENT
and now I can watch it over and over again.
And now I can remember the words more clearly...
There's only us, there's only this
Forget Regret, or life is yours to miss
No other course, no other way
No day but today!
