trvl-Theater-Rent: Very Dissapointed

Mon, 2 Feb 2009 00:57:29 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author rebel1862 - We have seen up to 60 plays both here in Charlotte and London and this is by far the the biggest dissapointment. We left at the intermission after sitting through a series of badly sung narrative and confusing action. Even though this...

trvl-Theater-Rent: A Great Show, but Room for Improvement!

Sun, 16 Apr 2006 08:43:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chelledun - I liked the movie better. So sue me. Don’t get me wrong. I enjoyed this play. It was a better than the average show, thus the four star rating. However, blame it on the hype, but I thought it was going to be a little bit better than it actually...

Sun, 5 Mar 2006 00:33:43 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author pearlypg - I had to watch Rent the B'way instead of the movie - movies never impress me as much as B'way shows and plays. Anyway, I was a little underwhelmed by the story. It was a hard plot to follow, and only after reading about it in the little booklet given out...

trvl-Theater-Rent: A Lost Cause?

Thu, 13 Oct 2005 15:31:33 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author hbotis - Eight years passed since I saw this show in NYC and I cannot remember one good thing about it. Neither did 3 other people I know. Basically, it's a tragic mess. I remembered turning to a friend after one cast member told a joke which no one laughed...

trvl-Theater-Rent: Rent makes Landlords Look good!

Fri, 3 Jun 2005 21:51:52 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author danieltoven - Rent was the worst piece of garbage I ever had the displeasure of wasting time and money on. The music is loud rock crap, and no one could understand anything anyone was saying. The story, about a bunch of squatters, is unappealing. If you want to see...

trvl-Theater-Rent: Mr Larson's Opus of Love, Loss, and Life in NYC

Mon, 23 May 2005 23:01:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Joseph_J - I have had the pleasure of watching Rent twice, the first time in Bismarck, ND, and the second time in Fargo, ND. Those two viewings of the musical are,however, only the tip of the iceberg so to speak when it comes to my exposure. I have listened to the...

trvl-Theater-Rent: What a thrill :)

Wed, 16 Mar 2005 12:23:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dinj - I'm not a man of many words but I will tell you this. Usually I don't fancy musicals much, but this one is really exceptional. The script, the acting, the set and the music (oh the music) they all merge together almost perfectly- and simply give a great...

trvl-Theater-Rent: Why Buy When You Can Rent?

Sun, 9 Nov 2003 21:51:46 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author modernmarvel - I went to see Rent based on all the strong reviews I have read plus all the awards it has won. I was somewhat disappointed in the experience. Since Rent has been on Broadway for over 7 years, I suspect they are riding out their reputation rather than...

Tue, 11 Mar 2003 13:35:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author codergrlny - When my 16-year daughter first asked to see Rent I had strong reservations. After much thought my husband and I decided that we would accompany her to see Rent. It was one of the best decisions we ever made.

Our family goes to plays in New...

trvl-Theater-Rent: Finally, a Broadway show for our generation!

Tue, 23 Jul 2002 02:26:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author strykerbc - I'll admit, I was almost turned off to Broadway musicals by the time I went to see Rent. I'd been dragged into numerous shows I couldn't relate to, didn't understand, or thought were just plain bad when they came to my fairly pathetic city, and was about...

trvl-Theater-Rent: Entertaining musical

Tue, 23 Jul 2002 00:58:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cybermaven - I must admit that for me to truly enjoy any musical I would suggest reading everything you can get your hands on about the musical. This will add to the enjoyment of it. I suggest reading about the plot, the actors, the history of the musical and about...

trvl-Theater-Rent: RENT Sings True

Fri, 7 Jun 2002 14:38:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hiphop2407 - As if being in New York City wasn't enough of a treat, I got to see this musical on Broadway. Walking in, I was worried about how it would turn out for me. You see, before RENT, my Broadway musical experience consisted merely of CATS, a truly puerile...

Mon, 13 May 2002 15:45:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chuckfromsocal - Visiting the road company of this hugely successful production we were taken aback by the base theme - This is not a light comedy about "Rent Control", as my wife had assumed, but a serious musical about one of the underlying problems in the US theater...

trvl-Theater-Rent: I misjudged this and almost missed it

Tue, 30 Apr 2002 13:18:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author derk99 - I consider myself a bit of a theatre buff, focusing mainly on recent musicals (Joseph, Starlight Express, Miss Saigon, Les Miserables, Phantom, Chess, etc.).

I nearly skipped seeing Rent because of what I thought it was... kids on stage...

trvl-Theater-Rent: Well Worth the Price!

Sun, 25 Mar 2001 21:23:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bls19 - We were taken to see Rent as an anniversary gift. At first I was a bit reticent, thinking it was a show for "young people". Now my husband and I are not ancient, but we are definitely not in the 20, or even the 30-something crowd, however our daughter...

Tue, 9 Jan 2001 20:33:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Pavilion6 - People had always told me how amazing the Broadway musical Rent was and were always offering praise towards this show. I had never believed the hype about Rent until I decided to go see for myself what the buzz was all about.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author seffy - *updated after an hour later*

How do you document real life when real life's getting more like fiction each day?

The title song starts out with this line, and it is a good question, but RENT does it wonderfully.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author adamlover24601 - I think that Rent is one of the greatest things to happen to broadway and musical theater in a very long time. Whoever it was that said that this show is not for everyone unfortunatlly is correct. If everyone out there could walk into the Nederlander...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author yacketysax - There are an immense amount of elements that go into making a theatre production successful.
