I am a huge fan of Rent having seen it on the stage 5 times! This show is amazing! For all that may have missed it on Broadway, this is their chance to see contemporary musical theater at its best. Wonderfully filmed. Don't miss the additional material on the DVD, which provides a heartfelt tribute to the involvement of the various cast members over the many years Rent was on Broadway. Truly a don't miss film.
