RENT Tenafly High School

[@tokoshie]

The singing was ON POINT. Some of the best I've heard in a high school production. The acting... left something to be desired, but it's understandable given the age of the actors. Great job!

tokoshie hi! Maureen here! Currently at college majoring in musical theater, so I’m working on it! 😅

I can't believe they allow this story in highschool. Not a bad thing, just shocked is all. That stage is so elaborate! Great job!

It’s a Performing Arts School

[@ssje1976]

@@brunabruneti1063as someone who went to this high school I can assure you it’s just a regular public school. I wasn’t there for this play but my senior year we did spring awakening which was also pretty crazy for a high school.

This was fantastic! Maureen and Joanne were phenomenal. Not that the whole ensemble wasn't great, but damn they blew it out of the water.

i would have if they showed this and i knew what rent was at the time. i didn't appreciate theater but i do now.

Jeez even with this amazing cast it felt like every time Maureen sang she took the whole stage.

Mimi and Roger had great chemistry! Joanne was talented and beautiful!

[@beachkidboy]

Also, the guy who was Roger is great. Wonderful when you can have a full pro-production company pay for a high school musical.

[@tenaflyhsperformingarts6009]

Actually as the director of this production and drama teacher we are a self funding program that relies on donations and AD’s/playbill. No full production co paid for any of this.

[@GamingSaturnMoonManBoy]

Honestly it’s probably one the better high school productions of Rent

[@bradytaylor3435]

The angle costume was something

[@katewolfie8211]

When I saw the movie for the second time and finally caught the line "like your dead girlfriend?", I was like "MIMI!" LOL.

[@Treetimebek]

Damnnnnn Roger whattttt. That was so good. One Song Glory holds a special place in my heart. Well done!

[@jack1theatregeek]

Hi, I’m sobbing. I’ve decided to direct this musical this summer. I was debating on this or be more chill, I can’t wait to direct RENT.

[@vicc1280]

That awkward moment when this random high school version (production cost no more than $5,000) was better than RENT live (production cost $millions)

[@hunterpearson892]

Cassie Williams this costed easily 15k to 20k

[@iwannabuyaduck60]

You did not not just say that.

[@CassieChoirGeek]

@@hunterpearson892 I doubt it... Rights to the High School version are about $3,000/ $4,000 and building that set could be minimal is the teacher is smart and resourceful. The kids aren't paid. The costumes are usually there or brought in... I'd guess your figure is a little high... just my guess... not that it's important...

[@amberlee.nycole.perrine8150]

1:40-1:42 poor Collins. His friends were really disrespectful and were too caught up in their own relationships to comfort their friend. "I'd be happy to die for a taste of what Angel had." !? REALLY!? I would've gone off.

Ya know, when I initially saw this was a HIGH SCHOOL production of rent, I couldn't help but cringe. I saw the original cast on Broadway and many other professional productions of the show since then. After watching this, however, I gotta say the production was pretty damn good. Congrats to the school for having the balls to put this show on. Some prettt damn talented mf's at this high school.!

[@liduck52]

At the start when Mark comes out, the rest of the cast should be running out with him. At least thats how it was done on Broadway.

[@darth_kal-el]

Different productions do it differently. The Australian production Mark records Roger singing One Song Glory and sends it to a record label.
