Although Fox's live version of Jonathan Larson's iconic, Tony-winning musical Rent got off to a bit of a bumpy start — Brennin Hunt broke his foot, most of the show was highly censored, and only the last 15 minutes of the production were actually live — there were some memorable moments throughout. The costumes were spot-on, Brandon Victor Dixon gave a truly phenomenal performance as Tom Collins, and the show wrapped up with a group singalong of "Seasons of Love" between the new and original cast members of the production. Naturally, some of Broadway's biggest stars didn't hesitate to share their reviews of Rent Live on Twitter.
