Like any true theatre fan, I have a soft spot in my heart for the one, the only, RENT. Now, If you’ve been living under a rock (or if you just aren’t as obsessed with musicals as I am), RENT tells the story of a group of New Yorkers as they struggle with their artistic careers, love-lives, and health during the AIDS epidemic.
While the original Broadway show and movie are fantastic in their own rights, I’m here to share with you some incredible interpretations of the show’s famous, show-stopping musical numbers.
ONE SONG GLORY
Cover by Aaron TveitÂ
I mean, Aaron Tveit can make any song sound perfect, but I truly love his heart-breaking interpretation of Roger.
WHAT YOU OWN
Cover by Corey Cott & Ben Fankhauser
I’m so into this ~acoustic~ cover of “What You Own” featuring two past Newsies.
Not to mention the subtle mash-up of “Carrying the Banner” thrown in…

YAS GIRL, ROCK THAT HEAD VOICE!!!!!!
