You could call Rent dated, but I think it's more of its time and reflective of Larson's life. It would be easy to hate on that if it weren't so drat good. I'd posit that it just got overplayed among millennials, and that movie certainly did it no favors. It'd be nice to see it set aside to breathe for a little bit so that people can get back to appreciating it. I've never seen Avenue Q so I'm pretty bummed about its closure. There's absolutely no way I'm making it to New York by April

esperterra posted:tbh I really like the movie, it cuts a lot of the fluff-- tho losing Contact is a sin-- and Dawson and Thoms were great as Mimi and Joanne. Worst thing about the movie is the awkwardness of the original cast tryna pull off being in their 20s. I like the movie more than I dislike it, but other than losing Contact, the shoddy production value got to me. The cgi cold-breath was garish and I understand the need for auto tune but it soundedlike t pain.

esperterra posted:I think RENT is also coming this year, and I figure I should see it live at least once in my lifetime, or I'd be a bad theatre gay otherwise tbh I got to see it on Broadway. The set and staging is just intensely creative and effective. If you can make it happen you owe it to yourself. The comedy bit is that this is when Mel B of Spice Girls fame played Mimi and she was the worst part by far.

I think we might be needing a link. E: crap, new page. Regarding Mel B being ridiculous on television.

garthoneeye posted:Got to see Ragtime last night. I really love that show. We had to do a bunch of Ragtime poo poo for choir one year, and I'd forgotten how much fun it was until now. I think the music hits the perfect medium between approachable and musically clever, really evocative of time and place in a way that a lot of other shows miss completely (Showboat, anyone?).
