** THIS.
** Exactly. RENT is more than "oh, isn't that the musical about the gay people and AIDS?". It is, but more than that, it's a celebration of life; yes, it has the controversial elements, but at the end, it's not about that. It's about living as if you were to die tomorrow and letting your heart go; it's about remembering the past but never letting it hold you back; it's about life not being measured in the problems and bad things that come up-- it's measured in friendship, celebrations, good times, and, yes, love. It's not the best musical ever, but it's still [[Spiky K|this troper's]] favorite.
* [[Cirque Dudu Soleil]] shows have a tendency to be wonderful, but I would never have become a fan in the first place if not for ''[[Mystere]]''. Yes, the acrobatics are beautiful, especially the bungee trapeze act, and so is the music. But the secret to its success is it's so darned funny: whether it's the adventures of Bebe Francois and his "papa", the pompousness of the Man in Pink, or the ''[[Gushing About Characters You Like (Sugar Wiki)|everything]]'' of his nemesis Brian Le Petit, it's comedy (and [[Audience Participation]]) at its best.
** ''Quidam'' was the first Cirque show this troper ever saw, and she's been hooked ever since. Extraordinary feats of human strength and agility mixed with incredible theatricality and [[Crowning Music of Awesome|amazing music]]? Sign me up!
* ''A Chorus Line'' is one of the best stories you will see in any medium, ever--a touching, funny, heartbreaking celebration of the basic humanity and uniqueness of ordinary people.
