Puzzle Description:
No more hints, other than that my ex loves this musical. And this might kinda be a rebus, but I'm not categorizing it as such as it doesn't follow what I call a rebus.

Well, the song is from Rent (525,600 minutes in a year), but I have no idea what 12:05 could signify.#3: bugaboo (bugaboo) on Feb 19, 2011
For you opera buffs, Rent is a modern version of La Boheme.
agreed on the edge logic#4: Bryan (Cyclone) on Feb 19, 2011 [SPOILER]
kristen i think the clock is showing a generic "minute" (and not specifically showing any specific time) to put together with the number at the bottom
Actually, the puzzle claimed to have no issues with solving, the editor suggested edge logic was not necessary. But then, I had to run right after submitting that and haven't tried solving myself yet. I'd likely default to edge because I actually find that easier on some puzzles now than doing it the normal way. Maybe Jota has an opinion?#5: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Feb 20, 2011 [SPOILER]
As for the 12:05, it wasn't 12:05 - I was trying to draw a single minute. 525,600 was the number of minutes, which was supposed to be the picture above it, one minute elapsed. And yes, Kristen got "Rent" from it, which is the answer. =)
EDIT: All right, it does need edge work. The number solves quite easily (I made that the case intentionally, notice the comma), but the picture needs the work.
Clearly I was overthinking it. :) Maybe if the minute had been underneath the number, my brain could have grasped it.#6: annalivia (annalivia) on Feb 20, 2011 [HINT] [SPOILER]

My neice's favorite musical. Visiting my brother, I must have heard this song 20x#9: Liz P (lizteach) on Feb 21, 2011 [SPOILER]
I've never seen this particular musical, but I've heard the song many times. One of our school's dance classes, which meets in the auditorium directly across from my office, performed a dance to it last year, and they rehearsed it at least twice a week during my prep period.#10: Jota (jota) on Feb 21, 2011
Best musical of recent times!#11: Kylie :) (misty) on Feb 21, 2011 [SPOILER]
Absolutely love Rent! My favourite musical, followed by Les Misérables. Kinda funny, What You Own (a Rent song for those who don't know) has been running through my head for the past week. Nice puzzle :)#12: Bryan (Cyclone) on Feb 23, 2011
Where's Gator? I need that ? removed from here; it's scaring off solvers.#13: Teresa K (fasstar) on Feb 24, 2011
Bryan, don't you just hate that unwarranted question mark? I saw it was yours, and solved it, with only logic.#14: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Jul 18, 2011
Nice puzzle, I enjoyed solving it.

Found to be logically solvable by gator.
