I have seen Rent on Broadway 7 times, but have never seen it close up. The filming allowed you to see the emotions and facial expressions of the actors and made it that much more amazing. I would see it again and again if I could! It makes me so sad to think that I won't be able to see it on Broadway anymore =(
Such a great movie!! I've seen all 6 seasons of SATC and I feel like to really appreciate the movie, it's important to have a connection to the characters and know their histories. Can't imagine not knowing everything about them before seeing it. However, still an amazing movie and I highly, highly recommend it!
