RENT: 2008 Broadway Performance [PT 12]

[@vampire2232]

In my perspective of this musical is one the best every performer does their part equally and that its the best musical I have seen and I wish there were more musicals like this performance and more to come.

[@1RubyBlue1]

i love that the lady in the solo in seasons of love doesnt even try turn her big note to sound like the word love. "measure. measure your life in luh-WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

[@theevilqueenreadstoo]

OMG Angel! :O What a voice. First I was scared because it sounded like he couldn't, but then he hitted the note!

[@KrisRenNeil]

Will Chase's emotions are everything

[@Martichaj]

THE GUY WITH THE DREADS!!!! LOVE HIM!!! ND THE OTHER GIRL SINGING...SHE HIT THAT HIGH NOTE PERFECTLY!!!!

[@christianmarshall3439]

I wish the quality wasn't so shitty.

[@Alice-qy3hf]

its crazy! renee (mimi) and will chase are now 42 so they were like, 37 in this!! they look pretty good for they're age i think! and renee has a son named benjamin =) insanity

[@TheTheUltimatePrize]

The male soloist has so much emotion in his voice i love it

[@Firebender567]

Did i hear that girl say "wicked witch of the west"? hahaha and then there's eden at the back lol

[@nekoelisa5095]

then "your mother", I laugh so much at that

[@theevilqueenreadstoo]

That is so weird! xD

[@imonkeybee]

+Firebender567 In the movie soundtrack, that part is sung and all I can think about is that Idina was Maureen in the original cast of Rent but she was also Elphaba in the original cast of Wicked. Its so weird with the part where it goes, "Mark, it's the wicked witch of the west - your mother!" but also in over the moon, the cow is called Elsie and Idina was called Elphaba and idk coincidence? I think not.

[@gothgirlgraveyard3539]

She be like “girl do you know what I like to be the wicked witch?”

[@RosieTheWickedFangirl2007]

Yay My dream Character!

[@HaNnAhBhAm]

i think he's just one of those genuinely happy guys whose happy all the time, and who wouldn't be happy to be performing in rent

[@dignature123]

ANGEL: *super high voice* It's gunna be a happy new ye-ea-ea-ea--r... *walks away*

[@monajilee]

LOL Roger's comment... Collins: ...where's everyone else? Roger: playing Spider-man.

[@domsmiley]

i love this mimi! she has an excellent voice!

[@youknowzach]

every time i hear seasons of love it gives me chills.

[@DragonPrincessAoife]

Hey, he's doing what he does best in one of the best Musicals of all time. you'd be happy too.

[@EllieBuckingham]

'Be nice you two or no God-awful champagne'. I love this show.

[@vampire2232]

well i like this movie its the best one i have seen all year and i hope to get this movie soon

[@bethhasablog]

I always get goosebumps watching this part. :)

[@rentpenguin]

This version seems so much more...emotional then the motion picture. I mean, I love both, But I'd really like to get me a copy of this one. It's amazing

[@gleekfan77]

6PEOPLE DIDNT WANNA MEASURE THERE LIFE IN LOVE

[@hvee123]

i love how she sings "minutes" :P

[@CharlieKatyTesco]

Wait I was supposed to be watching this not crying :')

[@gothgirlgraveyard3539]

Angel is too good for this world

[@lpclassic60s]

@nimmie54 Gwen Stewart, the woman singing is the original soloist from the opening cast

[@quiroz923]

I think its when he says "I honetly rather be with you tonight than in westport

[@MatrixMaster2]

imo, rosario can still pull it off, when i first saw her in that movie she looked like she was in her early 20's which is close enough, but yea, this mimi doesn't look 19, but she still does a good job. rosario's still my favorite mimi tho.

[@BlackValleyRequiem]

Everyone for the last like 30 mins of it >.>

[@whatoftoday]

@HipsterFriend I know.. This is truly a sign of the end times. It helps though that neither of us attacked the other's opinion. When people do that to me I can get nasty but I don't like to (just a defense mechanism). It also helped that we were debating 2 VERY talented individuals and we both realized that. I'm also primarily a musician but I love performance art in general for the most part. Adam Pascal was very good in the film, I agree.

[@HipsterFriend]

@whatoftoday I dunno, I think Kantor does a decent approximation of Rapp's work, but I suppose he doesn't build. I guess my main point of comparison between Pascal and Chase is how "thick" and Springsteen-y Chase's tone is. He's talented as hell, and his voice definitely has places it would work, it's just not what I imagine when I think "Roger." I think we can all agree that just about anyone is better at Mimi than Daphne Rubin-Vega.

[@LibraBoo32]

i really like this song "Instead with Muffty in Muffy's estate" lol "My desk was a mess, I think I'm still sore" lol "Because I kicked him and told him I wasn't his whore" lol Those are my favorite lines in this song

[@yCh1057]

i LOVE u!!

[@HipsterFriend]

@whatoftoday I can see what you mean. I'm looking from more of a musical perspective; the acting is generally secondary to me as I'm primarily a musician over an actor and see things through that lens. But I can see what you mean. I think Adam Pascal acts well in the film, but I will grant you that Will Chase did better stage acting. Did we just have civil discourse and allow different opinions in a KZbin comments section?! This world will never cease to amaze me.

[@MusicIhave]

Benny's rapping is pretty epic...

[@HaNnAhBhAm]

no one is better than wilson jermaine herediaaaaa

[@DragonPrincessAoife]

In person!

[@broadwaygleek1]

does eden look a little scarily like idina at sometimes? or is that just me.........

[@rentpenguin]

OMG, he does! That's cute :D

[@bgfallin12]

@musiclove4ever2000 Tracie had computers backing her too...

[@BlackValleyRequiem]

I thought so....

[@Gwynyvyr13]

@ThumbprintTheatrics umm... I am not sure how to expain something so simple. You said you wanted to now the feeling of you agianst the world. Be like the way I am in Mississippi and you will.

[@Allmusicals13]

Who is that gut at the end?? Whats wuz that in his hand?

[@quickydmagicmexi]

I know the guy who plays him on this kinda bothers me but Wilson Jermaine Heredia never did I always loved the way he did it

[@whatoftoday]

@HipsterFriend As far as Adam Kantor, I thought he was a little TOO sarcastic with his tone and really overacted a lot. I liked him in this, but I thought Rapp's acting was a little better as he seemed more like Mark Cohen than an actor playing Mark Cohen... You know what I mean? The reason I like Will Chase better than Adam Pascal is he acts the lines out, not just sings them. Pascal never really moved much while singing whereas Chase is kind of all over the place. They are both outstanding.

[@JulianneSparrow2]

Check my Frequency

[@ArielLinee]

They couldn't find one big enough to portray a cell phone from 1985, so they made do with what they had

[@mikokat]

Well, Daphne turned down the role because she got pregnant and Fredi Walker turned down her role in the movie because she thought she was too old.

[@The1BionicPigeon]

Angel is the best!!!!!! i hate how the best ones always die :( but omg this actor playing angel is just as good if not better than wilson jermaine heredia *golf claps*

[@gennette12]

has any1 got the actuall movie that they can put on here

[@HipsterFriend]

@manifestgtr ok, but this guy IS no Pascal. You have to admit that one.

[@westseniorhigh]

love will chase from 5:14 - 5:41!

[@rdyha2]

i have to play the creepy guy at the end lol

[@TarynThings]

Eden sounds a LOT like Idina

[@Randomlybeingme93]

hows it not hon?

[@Kignak24]

Tracie only did it for the movie.

[@whatoftoday]

@HipsterFriend He's better than Adam Pascal IMO. However, I will give that Adam Kantor is no Anthony Rapp.

[@mikokat]

Anyone who doesn't like this show must be high or something... "TO MARIJUANA!"

[@mikaylathew8076]

LMFAO

[@9224lauren]

@broadwaygleek1 I thought he same thing

[@Gwynyvyr13]

@ThumbprintTheatrics Be a libral in Mississippi, hang with scenes in Mississippi, beleive in Homosexual rights in Mississippi, hang with my freind circle in Mississippi, and you will....AND IT'S AWESOME! but at times it can make you angry and sad. I know I just made Mississippi sound bad, you dont have to tell me.

[@rocknroll20024]

roger is hot

[@sarahstorch2846]

this is not in the right order

[@manifestgtr]

nowhere near as good as the original cast? these people are among the best singers/performers I've seen...they were hand picked by the producers, director and casting people because they represented the parts so well...if they wanted the original cast, they couldve had them because they were watching the show, but they chose these people...you can say you like the obc better but to say these guys are nowhere near as good rapes your credibility...

[@vampire2232]

In my perspective of this musical is one the best every performer does their part equally and that its the best musical I have seen and I wish there were more musicals like this performance and more to come.
