Here we are going to have more powerful and varied events taking place among friends in New York. The events of that story began through many friends in New York City facing financial poverty, homophobia, AIDS, and, of course, rent. Perhaps there will be more things these friends face as they provide a real example of all those things that preceded.

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.

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

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.

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