Review of Rent (2005) by Dwilly — 01 Dec 2005
If you like musicals, this will do for an evening. Yes, it's corny in the way of people breaking into song in an artificial environment; and, yes, the actors are ten years too old to be playing characters behaving this way sympathetically (strealing, drugging, and inveighing: "Yuppie Scum!"); but the music and the voices and the commitment is so damn good, and with the AIDS epidemic providing a through line of gravitas.
.. if you're in the mood, it's a kick.
