Rent (2005), ReviewJust Another Day
Rent's plot was well-intended, its humour tongue-in-cheek but it failed to inspire.
Inspired by Puccini's La Bohème, Rent portrays the bohemian side of New York in the early 90s, which echoes the bohemia of Paris in the 19th century. The musical documents a year in the lives of a group of friends, who also happen to be young struggling artists trying to keep their place in the city. They defy convention and reject mainstream culture, living life on a day-to-day basi
