Rent, the musical that too many high school girls “relate to”, is going out of theaters. Thank God. It was overdue. It’s one of my youthful pop culture memories which, unlike Roald Dahl books and Batman, has aged terribly. Sad times.
I read an article stating that Rent’s sound has got progressively louder over the years. I wasn’t surprised; they needed something to cover up the smell of being around too long.
Rent would have been better had it a.) ended earlier than it’s 12 year run and b.) not had a crappy movie. They should do musicals like British sitcoms: kick them out after two years before the fanatics over quote and ruin it for everyone.
