Format:DVD
So, after 12 years on Broadway, the masterpiece of the late, great Jonathan Larsson has finally ended. This DVD is the closest many people will get to being able to watch this wonderful and emotional musical in its entirety.
It is fantastic that some of the understudies of the original 'RENT' cast finally got their chance to perform a show that they loved. Will Chase especially is fantastic as Roger, being able to capture to wide range of emotions very well, without losing the emotional attachment and sympathy the character generates.
The cinematics of this film are unbelievable captured brilliantly to show all range of ewmotions and expressions.
I can only say one other thing about this DVD - Buy it today because "There's No Day But Today!"

Format:DVD
I have just watched this DVD, and I have to say, I have never laughed, cried and loved characters as much as this in a long time. This version could possibly be better than the movie, though I'm yet to see that without my copy freezing. Eden Espinosa's voice is just amazing, it has such power. And you will notice other actors, like Will Chase and Tracie Thoms, to name two. This is truly just an absolutely amazing version. With all the terrible musicals out today, like all the pre-teen stuff, RENT is one of those musicals that just really raises the bar. You will laugh your socks off, you will cry like a child near the end and you will really love it to pieces. Please, do buy this and you will surely not regret it.

Live Rent 24 Oct 2009
Format:DVD
I saw Rent in Plymouth on the UK tour of 2001 and was almost bowled over. This DVD of the final US performance is a great document of a truly great and original musical. I love it.

Brilliant stage musical
A little known stage musically but brilliant :) Rather than stick a camera at the back of the theatre to record the show this is recorded from multiple camera angles, really nicely... Read more

Rent. The last ever Broadway stage show
Excellent show. Fabulous music. Dynamic cast. Very cleverly based on La Boheme and set in 80s New York. Stunning singing. Recommended.

Honestly, this would be worth it even if it was three times the price. Don't let the movie version put you off RENT because the stage version is beautiful. Just beautiful. Read more
