I've seen the show both in London and on New York's Broadway. The first time I saw in in London it featured three of the original cast members from the show's Broadway opening. It's a great show and I hope the film captures the energy and emotion of it.

It's a real tragedy that Jonathan Larson who wrote it died days before Rent opened for its world premiere at New York Theatre Workshop.

I'm excited about it. I haven't seen it on Broadway. But Idina Menzel is in it and I love her. I saw her in Wicked and the girl bought tears to my eyes. So yeah I sound like a total dork now, but I can't help it.

I saw it last week and it was really good. Though I don't like that they added a scene of Maureen and Joanne having a "commitment" ceremony. I've seen it on Broadway 4 times and once here in SF. WHen I lived in NY, my roomate was in RENT so I was there TOO much. Actually, she's still in it. Mayumi Ando, she plays Alexi Darling/Club Kid

I saw it with my sister and I loooooved it. Who knew that Jessie L.Martin from Lanw & Order could sing? His voice made me melt. Taye Diggs? hotness. He and Idina Menzel will have beautiful kids. But Wilson Jermaine Heredia, Angel, stole the show for me.
