| Same. But I might be more ok with it if I didn't hate the way it's done and the dialogue during it. It's hard to reconcile because I LOVE the "No Day But Today / Without You" reprise round that Mimi's resurrection inspires. | |

| I just finished rereading Sarah Schulman's book STAGE STRUCK, which many, I'm sure, know is her escorting take on RENT, both for its use of her novel PEOPLE IN TROUBLE and for its heteronormalizing of the AIDS epidemic. I always thought it was a cheat and disrespectful to queer people and to BOHEME to resurrect Mimi (particularly as it seems to be at the expense of Angel, who is a bit of the Musette character--"bury your gays," as the saying is). I know Schulman's book is controversial, but I was persuaded by its largest points this time. | |
