18 - RENT Pt. 2 (w/ Robin Campbell)
Manage episode 313028236 series 3257185
How do you measure a show's worth of cringe? We do our best to find out in the thrilling conclusion to our two-part series on the musical that defined a generation of theater punks, "RENT." Last episode was all about what we loved then, but this week is all about what we know now: the moral weight of being a sellout, the deadly dogma of struggling for your art, the offstage drama of Allison "Muffy" Coffin, and what a girl wants (certainly not Roger, who is the absolute worst). Not to worry, though: we measure this show with love.
