I remember when this was the biggest thing of the year - Tony Awards for Best Musical, etc. I was dragged to go see it by an ex in New York.

I thought it was exactly the way the reviewer in the OPs post said it was. But everytime I opened my mouth and said, "hey, this like really sucks." I'd get hounded by all these idiots who proclaimed it the best musical since "Chicago" or "Cabaret."

I made my then-girlfriend go to a revival showing of Bob Fosse's "All That Jazz," to show her what a real musical, what a real piece of art, was.

She hated it. We broke up. Thank god.

And "Rent" still blows.
