Rent: Live Ratings & Reviews
Variety
Caroline Framke
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.
TIME Magazine
Judy Berman
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.
Tom & Lorenzo
Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez
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.
Vox
Aja Romano
But to make all of this even weirder, there was a live performance of Rent happening onstage - and it was awesome!
Pajiba
Dustin Rowles
I will give the live rendition credit on a couple of counts, however. Jordan Fisher, who played Mark, was fantastic.
AV Club
Caroline Siede
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.
IndieWire
Ben Travers
There were moments, songs, and even stretches of "Rent Live" that worked as an engrossing musical experience, but the whole thing did not gel.
Awards Daily
Jazz Tangcay
Rent Live not actually live, but the dress rehearsal, but still spectacular and timeless. Tinashe is the night's MVP.
Tell-Tale TV
Ashley Bissette Sumerel
Despite its imperfections, it nevertheless managed to evoke the kind of joy and heartbreak that Rent fans should expect.
Associated Press
Mark Kennedy
Rent had a chance to show off the flexibility and work ethic of Broadway in the face of a setback - and completely blew it.
TV Insider
Matt Roush
The climactic introduction of Rent's original Broadway cast for a jubilant reprise of Seasons of Love added to the what-might-have-been vibe.
New York Times
Aisha Harris
Yes, it was disappointing. But clearly there was love in this production, too.
Entertainment Weekly
Darren Franich
Lots to enjoy - and yet, there was something a bit remote about this Rent.
The Mary Sue
Rachel Leishman
Rent Live was not actually live, but it did succeed in bringing back some of back those feelings we used to have about the show, crying through songs that we've heard over and over again.
USA Today
Kelly Lawler
Worse, it failed to create the deep, affecting emotion the musical is known for.
AwardsCircuit.com
Christopher James
However, for reasons both outside of and within its control, Rent Live misses the mark. The earnest nature shines through, but the craftsmanship does not.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
Given the various shortcomings, it's not clear it would have made enough of a difference to redeem a show that struggled to recover from an equally bad start.
Boston Herald
Mark A. Perigard
Someday, some network will deliver an unforgettable "Rent" to viewers. This, alas, wasn't it.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Lloyd
The production offered some interesting new ideas as to staging, but the pace felt rushed at times, and muddled at others; numbers that should have been surefire did not always connect.
The Hollywood Reporter
Daniel Fienberg
I'd never accuse anybody in this cast of consciously holding back. But dress rehearsals are dress rehearsals; even if you're giving everything you have, the adrenaline is different.
