I'm so excited about Rent coming to the big-screen.
I saw it on stage, but the sound-system was bad, so it wasn't the best experience coz we, the audience, couldn' t enjoy the music... After the show, everyone was complaining. I don't know what the problem was with the sound system that day, but the show itself was great.

Anyway, the movie sounds like it's gonna be really good coz many of the original Broadway cast will be in the movie.
