Great music, Profound, Must see, Resonant, Absorbing

See it if you're a theater fan but you've never seen this show before. Everyone must see Rent at least once!

Don't see it if you're old-fashioned, turned off by difficult subject matter (like AIDS), or if you have an aversion to sung-through musicals.

Original, Profound, Exciting, Riveting, Resonant

See it if You want to see one of the great musicals of the 20th century. Incredible music.

Don't see it if You can't get over the fact that some of the subject matter may seem dated 20 years after its premiere.

Ambitious, Entertaining, Raunchy

See it if Saw off and on Bway Set in the East Village in the late 1990's. Sex, drugs, r n r, AIDS, real estate. Wonderful score, just a full evening

Don't see it if You love fluff in theater. You are prudish, think AIDS was punishment for homosexuality, have no heart for the homeless.
