1) The score carried the narrative far more than the scores to any rock musical I can think of prior to its creation, second act problems notwithstanding.
Uhhh... except perhaps for JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, which tells its entire story through song and recitative as well and was written in 1969 and 1970... Even EVITA, though not strictly a rock musical, did this...
RENT was certainly not the first to do this. Your other points have merit, but this one is debatable at best... |
