Rent: Live

I really enjoyed this, its my first experience of rent other than the movie. Vanessa Hudgens made Maureen an enjoyable character to me in a way that Idina never could. I absolutely love the sets and wardrobe for this, a lot of the choreography is really well done and enjoyable. I really enjoyed Jordan Fischers portrayal of Mark, and Tinashe as Mimi was a huge standout too. Brandon Victor Dixon was incredible and captivating as Collins. Everyone was amazing. I wasnt huge on the censoring of a few things to make it "suitable" for the tv audience. I feel like in a lot of ways that softens the entire purpose of the show. Theres definitely a different feel to the film, as of now it doesnt make me like the film any less, but gives me an appreciation for the stage show. This was kinda a mix of the two, i think. The higher production value and professional feeling that the film had but with more of the rawness of the musical.
