It's a pretty faithful adaptation of the stage play(musical) with all but two original cast members(Rosario and Tracie were added for the film).It's a rock opera as they call it and even though it debuted in(I believe)95' it still remains relavent...though there are times it seems a little dated.

It deals with serious subject matter yet there were times I hard a hard time taking it seriously because...well,their singing about it.I suppose that's the problem alot of musical's have,though there is a fair amount of humor and dark comedy here to help balance it out.

I would say certainly worth the price of a rental fee...check it out.
