 two versions; one compelling story

I saw the movie first, but was intrigued by question of how it could be done on stage. This video answered the question.
Which version do I prefer? It's a strained comparison. Some things just worked better on stage.

I was never lucky enough to be able to see Rent on Broadway so when I heard they were filming the very last Broadway performance and then releasing it, I jumped at the opportunity to purchase it. I was hoping it would basically just be good in quality and that there would be some good close-ups. I got more than I wished for!! Not only is the quality EXCELLENT, but there is a featurette which basically documents the last week of the show on Broadway and has interviews with the cast. It was very moving; I could feel myself starting to tear up when they talked about Jonathan Larson. I loved that some members of the original cast came out at the end and performed "Seasons of Love" with the rest of the cast. I felt like I was there!
If you're a Rent fan, this is definitely something that you would love. Even my mom, who said she only liked the movie (she had never seen the stage version) LOVED this performance.
Thank you, Jonathan Larson for creating such an incredible show that will always live on in our hearts.
Viva la vie boheme! |

A Real Treat

I have been a huge fan of Rent since the first moment I heard the Broadway recording over ten years ago. Unfortunately, I have always missed the traveling company...it seems to come to my city shortly after I move elsewhere! I was so excited when the film version came out, but it was less than satisfying for me. There were certain parts that I missed and felt needed to be in the film (Roger and Mark arguing before he leaves for Santa Fe; Mimi telling Roger goodbye...how do you leave that out??!!). I was a little nervous about buying a film of a live stage production because that could easily be poorly done, but I decided that I just had to see it on stage, whether I could be there live or not. It was worth it!
I think the best part about this stage film was that I was able to see Rent as Jonathan Larson intended it--as a stage production. There is something about the stage that makes it better, more pure than it can be on film. I wish I had been able to see it on Broadway, but it didn't work out. In my opinion, this is a great substitute and I will never regret this purchase. No day but today! |
