FYI, I wasn't exactly the biggest fan of the film version of Rent. While the main songs were there, I thought the direction didn't transfer well with the tone in many scenes. I posted the quiz because I loved the Broadway musical and I wanted to share that love to everyone on this site. I'm not bad-mouthing the staff for posting the film version because they put so much effort and time into making this and they're such awesome people. I'm saying I love the staged version better.
