Hi WiCkEDrOcKS,

The Tune Ups, Voice Mails, Contact, We're Okay, Christmas Bells, Happy New Year A and B and several other bits and pieces that were sung and led into actual songs in the original stage version of RENT have all been cut for the movie version.

Why are you guys segregating performers as being *just* Broadway actors or *just* being movie actors? Actors are actors and they're free to work in whatever medium they choose whether it be television, stage or screen. That's the wonderful thing about being an actor, you don't have to be pigeonholed into doing just one.

It really is no big deal.

Holland-Dozier-Holland were famous for writing those "you-love-me-then-did-me-wrong-and-now-you've-left-me-all-alone" type love songs that fit so well with this show [especialy the ones thay penned for the Supremes]:

"Where Did Our Love Go"
"Reflections"
"You Keep Me Hangin' On"
"Love Is Here And Now You're Gone"

...to name but a few

Specualtion from where or who? You?

Interesting, I was just watching my "Little Mermaid" DVD yesterday....

Beaverhausen I am loving your observations on the show. I am going to get better acquainted with it.

That is quite an impressive set.
I love Robbins original concept and staging but I'm open to new interpretations...

Hehe........(Paul) Michael Glaser played "Perchik" the role that Bert Convy originated in the original Brodway production.
I've just learned that Beatrice (Bea) Arthur was also part of the OBC.
Life is great when you learn something new everyday!

Interesting observations Capn. I can't help you either way because I've never seen it on stage and I've never seen the film. Your post is now peaking my interest in actually renting the film.

The only things I know about "Fiddler" are some of the songs. That Zero Mostel originated the role of "Tevye", that Topol essayed the role in the film, that Bette Midler replaced one of the actresses that played one of the daughters, that Juila Migenes (Johnson) was also in the original productio

Akiva,
What is the Bergenz Festival?
What were the sets like?

I've only seen one other production of "West Side Story" aside from the legendary 1961 motion picture and that was the 1981 revival at the Minskoff.

Why did they get Walter Matthau to be Streisand's leading man in "Dolly" talk about "Odd Couple"....LOL!

"I agree with nomdeplume. I wish people would just be honest with themselves and others instead of pretending to be PC so they can sleep at night.

YES! YES! YES! That is exactly it. Some people just try too hard to be so self righteous and sanctomonius, pius (sp) and holier-than-thou...

Some tuners that wind up on perpetual re-play in my fragile little head:

Side by Side - Sondheim
You Could Drive A Person Crazy - Company
Turkey Lurkey Time - Promises, Promises
Another Hundred People - Company
Money, Money - Cabaret
Jellicle Song - Cats (this one's the worst)
One - A Chorus Line ("loaded with charisma, isma, suantering, jauntering, ambling, shambeler....ugh! make it stooooop!!!)
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - Sherman Brothers
Chim Chim Cheree

Well put redhot! Some people do know how to seperate their love for a show from the actual performers in it.

You're right Tennessee and I apologize for coming off the way i did on my last post. :: WAVES WHITE FLAG :: :: RELEASES DOVES ::

Oh boo-hoo big deal. Again, why is this even an issue.....

I'll double that WOW and add that I'm a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge fan of Orfeh's


Go Orfeh! And congratulations!

:: Pops in "If I Can't Have You" as performed by ORFEH - SNF OBC ::

I saw the original productionS. The NYTW production downtown and the Broadway production so I know what I'm talking about.

If the RENT threads bother you so much why even open them. Are you some sort of masochist or glutton for punishment?


So yea.........Daphne Rubin-Vega.

Adam's second, Anthony's third with Idina close behind. Then Jesse, Wilson and last but not least Fredi. Special cameo in my heart by the Seasons of love soloist.

EDIT: ugh

LOL. I can't believe this is even an issue.
