This story tells of a wide range of strong and surprising events in the United States. The story began with many friends who face seemingly diverse events in their lives in New York City, it's the story of financial poverty, homophobia, AIDS, and of course, rent and other things that these friends go through.

Lots to enjoy - and yet, there was something a bit remote about this Rent.January 28, 2019

Live performance of popular, mature musical hits sour note.January 29, 2019
Outside the dress rehearsal disaster, one of the weirder side effects of "Rent" airing on Fox is that "Rent" could never be itself on Fox.January 29, 2019
Rent: Live isn't the definitive version of Rent, but I don't think it set out to be either. Fox's version of Rent is-to quote David S. Pumpkins-it's own thing.February 01, 2019

Rent had a chance to show off the flexibility and work ethic of Broadway in the face of a setback - and completely blew it.January 28, 2019
I will give the live rendition credit on a couple of counts, however. Jordan Fisher, who played Mark, was fantastic.January 28, 2019
There were moments, songs, and even stretches of "Rent Live" that worked as an engrossing musical experience, but the whole thing did not gel.
