see, i figured a few of the edits were done either for the sake of the "flow" of the CDs (which is pretty weird in some parts) and also for movie time...they did it with the Chicago movie too...some relatively significant songs were removed, but i really liked what they did with the movie so i'm hoping Rent isn't edited and rewritten to shit

for all of the soundtrack's shortcomings (overall i thought it was still very very good) the fact that they directed the movie with that much of the original cast makes me really really happy...if they had gotten someone like Ewan McGregor to play Roger i might have had a coniption
