Jon, I can't even begin to thank you for everything you've given to so many people. Most people might not agree, but for every single person who has seen RENT, you have changed their world in some way. When I think of the power and sheer emotion of RENT and tick, tick... BOOM!, I just can't help but mourn the fact that such talent and drive as yours was taken from the world so early. When I first saw RENT at the Nederlander, a little thrill went through me as I sat down in my seat and looked at

re: Original RENTHEAD or 'Newbie'?
Jan 8 2006, 10:20:25 PM
I'm a 'newbie' in the fact that I've only known about Rent for a year and a half. But I fell in love with it and had seen the show twice on tour before I found out it was being made into a movie. I'm really glad that so many people have seen the movie and gotten the message it sends (granted, most people who see it and haven't seen the stage show really DON'T get the message) but I am confused by the people who treat movie-newbies badly. Like you said, Rent is about love and accepting new people

gumbo, the lyrics you're missing are: "now i know you can rent it, a new lease you are my love, on life, be my life..." etc.
and does anyone else find the third verse of "come to your senses" from ttB really hard to understand? I read the lyrics and intellectualy I know them, but I still can't understand what amy spanger says...

re: Best Gift to Give a Director
Dec 26 2005, 01:46:47 PM
Last year was our director's 25th year doing shows and the show was Oklahoma! So we made him a "Wanted: Alive" poster, a la the Old West, and gave him a director's chair with his name on it. And of course, flowers and cards signed by the entire cast. We filmed giving him it and he cried. It was so awesome.

I've seen all of three Rogers (including Adam in the movie), and here's my list:
-Adam Pascal
-Dan Rosenbaum
-Cary Shields
I loved all three of them, but Adam's the original and Dan was my first. Not that Cary wasn't good, of course. :)

"Close on Mark's nosedive: will he get out of here alive?"
"The heart may freeze or it can burn, the pain will ease if I can learn... There is no future, there is no past, I live this moment as my last."
plus all of ICY, Halloween and WYO.
and of course:
"Let he among us without sin be the first to condemn La Vie Boheme!"

rowers, i loved that part too. i was like, "aww..."
i also liked how when they were introducing themselves, taye said, "yeah, i'm denzel washington... no really, taye diggs..." made me chuckle and the pinched nerve in my leg hurt less.
hooray for the healing power of rent. :)

re: Questions for cast of RENT
Nov 9 2005, 10:00:58 PM
Anthony to Adam: Did you really try to post dirty comments on the blog? 
really, though...
Wilson to Jesse: What inspired so much emotion for the I'll Cover You: Reprise scene while filming? Is it more from your character's perspective or did it come from a more personal level?
Adam to Anthony: Are you surprised or startled by the enormous positive reaction from the fans about the movie already? Even though some were skeptical, they're s

oh yeah... so many people at my high school know SOL now... they go around singing it and playing it on the piano...
also, everyone keep coming up to me (they know i'm the resident Renthead) and say, "you know rent's being made into a movie??" i feel smart by replying, "yes. i have known for a long time."
a lot of people i didn't expect to be into it are really excited to see it. makes me feel all fuzzy inside. :)
