I like musical theater pretty well, but I've never checked the 90s cultural moment box by watching Rent -- mostly because I've heard Seasons of Love and didn't find it as inspiring as I was told it was. But tonight at 8/7c, Fox is airing Rent Live, and you know I'm a sucker for live theater on TV...
I'm going to watch it with some of my older girls as a discussion piece; one of their friends is in the chorus in her high school's production of Rent, so I'd rather them see it with me first. I feel like I'm already biased towards disliking it, but let's see if the show itself can change my mind. Watch along with me, and let's discuss it afterwards.

Given your interests in musical theater, and the fact that you are homeschooling kids who know other kids who will be in a high-school production of it (I'm still trying to adapt to the idea of this as a high-school production), you really do need to see it. I really like a lot of the music, so I hope you will, too. As for being biased towards disliking it--as always, I advise blocking as much of you pre-conceived reactions as possible. I do look forward to discussing it with you and others once you have seen it.
