Rent A musical Review
I am going to be giving a play review on the musical play Rent. Rent was the first play I had ever been to. With having a certain conception on plays and their whole premise, after seeing Rent I became enthralled with theater and its whole production. Rent a musical play by Jonathan Larson is a modern musical about life and death that takes place in New Yorks East Village, populated by drug dealers and society’s forgotten, which is loosely based on Puccinis La Boheme. Rent is part Broadway musical, part performance art, part rock concert. These three seemingly different elements are entertainingly merged in Rent. Rent chronicles the lives, loves and deaths of its major characters from December 24th through the next Christmas and into the following year. Rent deals with AIDS, drugs, homosexuality, and loss. ... Rent is as gritty as its subject matter. ... The story of Rent was something I wasn’t too fond of, with its strong overtones in homosexuality and drug abuse. ... The cast of Rent brought professionalism to the table and for most of the cast it was there first play production.
