Rent: Live
This story tells of a wide range of strong and surprising events in the United States. The story began with many friends who face seemingly diverse events in their lives in New York City, it's the story of financial poverty, homophobia, AIDS, and of course, rent and other things that these friends go through.

Rent Live not actually live, but the dress rehearsal, but still spectacular and timeless. Tinashe is the night's MVP.

Lots to enjoy - and yet, there was something a bit remote about this Rent.

There were moments, songs, and even stretches of "Rent Live" that worked as an engrossing musical experience, but the whole thing did not gel.

I will give the live rendition credit on a couple of counts, however. Jordan Fisher, who played Mark, was fantastic.

The screwup on this one is about to become legendary and will probably have massive effects on any live musical theater performances on television going forward.

This, it should not need to be said, made for a depressingly lame show...

We'll never know whether a genuinely live version would have come closer to preserving the urgency of Larson's beloved musical, but it certainly would've had a better excuse for showing so many seams.

But to make all of this even weirder, there was a live performance of Rent happening onstage - and it was awesome!

Rent: Live isn't the definitive version of Rent, but I don't think it set out to be either. Fox's version of Rent is-to quote David S. Pumpkins-it's own thing.

Rent had a chance to show off the flexibility and work ethic of Broadway in the face of a setback - and completely blew it.

Outside the dress rehearsal disaster, one of the weirder side effects of "Rent" airing on Fox is that "Rent" could never be itself on Fox.

Live performance of popular, mature musical hits sour note.
