“i’m a total renthead! i know every word to rent!”
a disciple of the late, great, jonathan larson. about half of these rentheads aren’t really rentheads, but they saw the movie and apparently that’s enough. someone who is completely in love with the show, almost as much as i am. we know the beginning to i’ll cover you isn’t “cold”, “come on”, it’s “alone at last…” “…darling, we’re everything”, and take me or leave me belongs in joanne’s loft, not the greenwich village country club.

someone who is obsessed with rent. they know every word to every song, have seen both the movie and the play, and love it to death. they know every little detail, from the fact that ‘take me or leave me’ was added two rehearsals before show time, to the precise differences between the movie and stage show.
