...but Mimi doesn't die in the show... stop being such a straight-acting-drama snob. Rent has substance, even if it was borrowed from Puccini. Just because there is singing and dancing and god forbid, a glimmer-of-hope ending is no reason to dismiss it.
Therefore, by making it less like La Boheme and more like Cinderella when they re-released it at the NYTWS, they diminished the reason it was written in the first place...to emulate the original opera.
