RENT the musical

Just been reading a review of RENT the musical and someone described it as an attempt to force the marriage of rock and Broadway often sends the worst of both genres into noisy collision, as if Meat Loaf and Andrew Lloyd Webber were reworking "Exile on Main Street." Now I don't know about anyone else but that doesn't sound like a compliment.

I can't say that a musical about AIDS and other depressing matters RENT throws at you, will make me want to go and see it.
