RENT - The End of an Era
Rent - The Final Performance Filmed Live on BroadwayI was home for the majority of the week last week sick as you know. I had too much time to watch movies...which gives me a chance to catch up on things that I've been wanting to see. Yesterday, I watched this movie and I was just blown away.
I have seen RENT 5 times on stage and this music changed my life when I was in high school. It revolutionized musicals in the its message and overall story-line. There really isn't another show like it.
This past fall, the show after a 12 year run has closed its doors and is no longer being performed on Broadway. They did create a DVD of its very last show with an incredible cast.
They invited former cast members to see their final performance, with an amazing final performance of "Seasons of Love."
I am so saddened that this show had to come to an end, but I am SO glad that they have created this DVD. It takes a really intimate look at what the stage performance was really like. I highly suggest this video over the film that was made a few years ago.
PLEASE when you all get a chance, netflix, rent, itunes this movie; you won't regret it.

Hey everyone!
Glad you are taking the initiative to be working on these songs at home as well as in school. The extra practice will really give our songs that extra element of precision when it comes time to perform them!
I hope this serves to be helpful for all of you. If you have any suggestions of ways to improve this method, please let me know.
