I am very excited today, because MAV and I get to attend a screening of RENT after work this evening. My wonderful college roommate hooked me up because she knows how passionately I loved RENT when it first came out.
I listened to the soundtrack on Rhapsody last week and I was floored at how it all came rushing back to me–the lyrics, the harmonies, the fuzzy tingle up and down my spine during the really good songs. The movie soundtrack is really well-orchestrated, a lot fuller than the Broadway recording and a lot more rock n’ roll. I bopped along to it in my office, seeing the staging play out in my head.
When I saw RENT in high school, I was supposed to be sitting in Row S in the Majestic Theater–on the floor, but not that close. A kind usher took pity on me and my friend Dallas and sent us up to fill two empty seats on the front row. I thought I would die from sheer happiness. I saw a great cast, but one of my greatest wishes was to have seen the original cast together, and this movie fulfills that wish for me.
