Optimism in Rent from Joey Aloi on Vimeo.

Sorry it's a bit late getting up...I decided to record much of my narration once I got home for break since it's a bit less noisy here. Enjoy...it's kind of long...if you have any suggestions how to make it more concise, feel free to leave them...it was just that since this is a musical, sometimes as a musician it didn't feel right to just sort of cut off the scenes at certain points...

Oh and credits (I guess I should add these):
Essay and narration: Me
Music and original broadway show: Jonathan Larson
Produced and Directed by: Chris Columbus
