Title: a favorite!
Review: i have always loved rent, have seen several different productions in several languages, and can mentally watch those productions as i read the play. (i also own a copy of the play in german, which has helped my language skills immensely, to say nothing of my german vocabulary!)it is such a sad story, and yet evokes such happiness and love that it can't really be called a sad play. i think the saddest part of it is that jonathan larsen did not live to see the first performance, the tremendous world-wide success of his work, or to accept his pulitzer. it is one of the few works that transcends any performance and any medium.

Title: Amazing Libretto! A MUST-READ
Review: I have only heard so little about Rent, so when a teacher assigned us to read the libretto I didn't know what I was getting into. The story has so many beautiful messages. And today, it's a reminder of what things were like back when the AIDs crisis broke out. This musical is a celebration of life!

Title: Glad to have the lyrics to this Broadway musical
Review: Glad to have the lyrics to this Broadway musical. P.S. For those who may not know, there are differences between the original musical and the movie version.

Title: RENT the musical
Review: We ordered this book for our son for Christmas because he had been in a local production of RENT. We tried endlessly to find the scipt, and this was recommended. My son absolutely loves it ~ he would have it framed if he could.

Review: Das Vorwort gefällt mir sehr gut und gibt Einblicke in die Entstehungsbedingungen des Musicals aus einer persönlichen Perspektive, danach folgt das gesamte "Libretto" - der gedruckte Text enthält jedoch Fehler, das ist schade.

Review: RENTが本当に大好きで、原作を読んで、深く台詞や歌詞を理解したいと思い、ひさしぶりに洋書に挑戦。とにかく現代英語の特殊な表現が多いので、手持ちの英和辞書というよりは、英○郎必須です。知らない言葉がいっぱいですが、がんばって読み解くと、作品を思い出して幸せになります。映像では一瞬で過ぎ去る台詞も、じっくり読むと楽しいです。たくさん単語を書き込んだり、好きな歌はふせんで見出しを作ったりしてます。やっぱり洋書は、kindleじゃなくて紙の本にして正解☆
