Line 8: * [[Designated Hero]]: How much you like the show may be limited to the amount of sympathy you're willing to feel for somewhat elitist and morally questionable (read: dog-killing) characters complaining about poverty they imposed on themselves. * [[Designated Villain]]: Benny, to an extent. Although he keeps telling the main characters to pay the rent or be evicted, on closer scrutiny he doesn't really do anything that bad. His biggest crime seems to be being a yuppie snob. And then there are those times when the [[Designated Hero\|main characters annoy or freak him out for no apparent reason]] (i.e., the "La Vie Boheme" sequence). And especially in the stage version, it's made clear he does have the best intentions for Mimi. * [[Ear Worm]]: Every song in the show. [[Punctuated! ~~for~~For! Emphasis!\|Every]]. ''[[Punctuated! ~~for~~For! Emphasis!\|Freaking]].'' '''[[Punctuated! ~~for~~For! Emphasis!\|SONG]].''' Particular offenders are "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czJHTEeEJmU La Vie Boheme A]" (see the entry), "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlNzpl3vz5Y Take Me Or Leave Me]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urfB-_iX-gE Light My Candle]" and you guessed it, "Seasons Of Love" (Five-hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes...). Don't forget, "There's only us, there's only this... [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbljhS4xDlU no day but TODAAAAAAAAY...]" "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsPdIzLUwcQ We're not gonna pay rent!] 'Cause everything is RENT!!!" Line 20: And if you give a damn, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlNzpl3vz5Y take me], baby, as I am! 'Cause IIII DIIIIIE [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrE7mh7Emj4 WITHOUT YOU]UUU... [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M77R_Ow_b08 Today for you], TO-Mow-Row for Me! The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LcGnP3HY_A Tango Maureen]! Gotta dance til your diva is through! * [[Ending Fatigue]]: After the non-stop action of the first act, the second act seems a bit disjointed by comparison, allegedly due to the author never completing his revisions to the script. ** That's partially a structural thing as well: the first act has no scene breaks and (on stage at least) depicts almost in [[Real Time]] the course of one Christmas Eve. Then the second act brings in lot of [[Time Skip\|Time Skips]] because it gives an overview of the year that follows. * [[Fan Dumb]]: The Rentheads. Oh God, the Rentheads... * [[~~Heartwarming Moments (Sugar Wiki)\|~~Heartwarming Moments]]: On opening night, the day after Larson's very sudden death, the entire cast paid tribute by performing the musical that night sitting down at a table on the stage. By the time they reached La Vie Boheme, they realized they couldn't do the song justice without getting up and acting crazy and that Jonathan would have wanted them to do it right. Cue Anthony Rapp (Mark) getting on the table and starting the song, with the rest of the cast following--not ''just'' because it was supposed to happen, but because they got genuinely caught up in the song. * [[Ho Yay]]: Even beyond the [[Cast Full of Gay]], there seems to be a ''lot'' of [[Subtext]] between Roger and Mark. * [[Narm Charm]]: Maureen's performance-art piece. * [[Signature Song]]: Roger Davis' "One Song Glory". * [[Tear Jerker]]: It varies from person to person, but especially, as noted above, the [[Dark Reprise]] of ''I'll Cover You''. Multiple fans can't get through "Goodbye Love" without crying. This troper has taken a poll on when it's acceptable to cry during ''Rent''. "One Song Glory", "Without You", "I'll Cover You (Reprise)", "Goodbye Love" and "Your Eyes" were all mentioned. * Hey! Did you forget "Finale B"? Or "Life Support" or "Will I?" "Halloween" is a quieter one. Who else cried [[Tears of Joy]] during the ''first'' "I'll Cover You"? * Troper raises hand It's just so sweet!
