I went to this movie having only seen the movie version of Rent. I have wanted to see the live version since I first saw the movie, but really couldn't afford it. I did not know what to expect when I sat down in the theater. What I saw was amazing. The fact that they didn't changet the set at all and used the same props for almost everything was so innovative! There were some spots where the singing was not quite perfect, but given the fact that it was live and not done with take after take, it was minimal and did not affect my enjoyment of the movie. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to experience RENT as it was meant to be seen.... on a stage.
