Description

Set in New York City's gritty East Village, the revolutionary rock opera RENT tells the story of a group of bohemians struggling to live and pay their rent. "Measuring their lives in love," these starving artists strive for success and acceptance while enduring the obstacles of poverty, illness and the AIDS epidemic. RENT is based on Jonathan Larson's Pulitzer and Tony Award winning musical, one of the longest running shows on Broadway. The raw and riveting musical stars Rosario Dawson, Taye Diggs, Wilson Jermaine Heredia, Jesse L. Martin, Idina Menzel, Adam Pascal, Anthony Rapp and Tracie Thoms and is directed by Chris Columbus.

    The UK download is not in the original 2.35 aspect ratio. Comparing with the DVD version, the picture has been opened up a bit top and bottom, but trimmed at the sides.

  • Good reminder

    Honestly a great original piece of work by Jonathan Larson. Truly the best piece of musical theatre i have seen in my opinion, for what that’s worth. I loved the original show. This is a good musical movie adaption, i am not that enamoured with the Mimi lead though, and feel they would’ve been much better off using the Broadway Filmed version lead lady for this as her voice is the one for Mimi, better even than Daphne. Shame they didn’t go for voice over look.

  • Fabulous
