Spectacular!
I went to RENT! I've seen musical films and movies but this was truly the first time to see the live musical. I felt my brain shake being overwhelmed by the breathtaking excitement and stunning perfection far beyond my expectation. I don't know why but it reminded me of Issay Ogata's stand-up act. RENT made its debut with a shocking death of Jonathan Larson, who did the writing, composing and screenwriting, in the morning of the first public performing day. I really liked the musical's theme. It was about frustrations, suffering, the gap between ideal and reality, racial differences, gender and drug issues and love through young generation's point of view living in modern society. Though the musical was first performed in 1996, we still have same issues and problems in 21st century. That is why it still hits us so hard even after 13 years. It was a truly great entertainment, still looked new and fresh. The night was so amazing that I even got sort of jealous as a person who makes a living by creating things.
