I saw RENT way back in 1999, I believe it was (maybe 2000?) in Central Florida. I was 14 or 15 and my bf and I were the youngest people there. We had NO idea what it was about, just that my mom's friend worked at the theater and got us free 4th row tickets.
Older people were obviously offended and left the theater before intermission! We LOVED it - even if we didn't fully understand ALL of it. I bought a shirt and wore it to school the very next day. Everyone made jokes... " Oh, you're for Rent now?" I rolled my eyes. I told my bf I wished there was a movie so we could watch it all the time. The songs are so catchy! Fastforward just a couple of years, and BOOM out comes a movie!! I was happy, BUT now all the people who made fun of my shirt were "fans", singing the songs all over... I think it got too big when the movie came out. But of course I bought it and loved it. I still watch it occassionally and listen to the soundtrack regularly in my car.
Anyway, got off track but what I am saying is RENT is timeless. I wish it would come back... preferably with Rapp & Pascal ... *swoon* Alas, it may never be :(
