Yes, it is a broadway musical. A popular one at that. My friends and I are singing one of the songs from the musical and promoting the movie. So, the production has sent us free RENT stuff and we get to see a sneak preview for it 3 days before it comes out. Should be interesting. . . anyone living in the Dallas area or Cedar Hill area we are performing some songs . . .

It was good. I loved it as well. At first it was strange to see a gay relationship on screen...but...it's 2005. lol, besides it seemed irrelavant by the end. It got me a little choked up near the end. Great movie...but I'm sure many would hate it, I believe it's an acquired taste.
When I went to go see it, it was an experience. I didn't expect it to be like that. It was so well directed, and some of the songs were really moving and made me get chills. There are so many Rent fans from different groups in our school, who I would have never thought they would like it.
Most of the people who went to go see it in our school, were told to by me and my Theatre friends. We suggested they'd go see it because we saw it before anyone else did! Haha.
Yeah, definitely a great movie . . . and hopefully will snag some awards in the future?
