Sonofa– I just discovered that I’m going to have to wait til friggin’ MARCH for Rent to premiere in Australia. That’s three months away! The damn Region 1 DVD will probably be out by then! This sucks. And Ebert only gave it 2.5 stars. I can see his complaints, though a lot of them sound like issues he has with the opera as well.

Saw it last night. I can’t tell if it was good or not b/c most of the time I was obsessively singing along in my head and getting annoyed when they would change/leave out parts. In general though, it was very true to the musical. Rosario and the new Joanne did great jobs as well.
