Rip Notes
---------

An optimistic modernization of Puccini's opera La BohΦme, Jonathan Larson's Rent
was revered by the theatre community as the revitalizing hope for the Great
White Way. While the musical itself is highly acclaimed and lauded, having
acquired numerous Tonys and Obies, as well as the Pulitzer Prize for drama, the
Dreamworks recording lacks much of what makes the live performances so
endearing. The music, an eclectic jumble of pop ballads, gospel, dance, and
anthems, holds up well through repeated listens. The lyrics, however, when
placed under close scrutiny, rely far too much on clichΘs, and they have a
noticeable sense of incompletion. This could stem from the fact that Jonathan
Larson died tragically the evening before the first off-Broadway performance.
Mostly, though, what is noticeably missing is the spark of energy provided by
the interaction between an exuberant cast and an adoring audience. Still, many
of the songs are infectious, and the musical as a whole is very uplifting and
hopeful. Particularly noticeable moments in the soundtrack are the songs "Take
Me or Leave Me," a powerful duet between the two lesbian lovers (one of the many
'90s updates) and "One Song Glory," a solo rock ballad sung by Adam Pascal as
the lead character Roger, most likely the strongest song on its own taken out of
the context of the play. Rent is also the musical that contains the song
"Seasons of Love," which is quickly becoming a standard.

Enjoy.
