Having seen the broadway production of RENT 22 times on broadway, words cannot express my disapointment with the Christopher Columbus obortion of a RENT movie. This (obviously) is the RENT movie that should have been released originally. A brilliant cast, most of whom were some of my favorites from B-Way. Will Chase remains one of my favorite Rogers ever. And Tracy Thoms, one of the bright spots of the Chris Columbus RENT, shines here on stage. It was filmed in excellent style and really brought the emotion to the audiance in the theatre. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to see what RENT is truly about. I cannot wait for this to be release on DVD/Blu-Ray. God I can't wait! Viva la vi Bohem!
