I picture the drug addict scene ("got any C man?...) in christmas bells to look something like people hoarding Idina for autographs. And the voice messages could sound something like just about every response to the RENT movie blog: OOMMMGGG i cant waiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit lolzzzz I'm Rosario's #1 Fan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Only FIVE MORE WEEEEEEEEEEEEEKS. :::)
Wow I'm surprised more people haven't responded. This comment is mainly just to keep it fresh on the message board, but I'm interested to hear what people think some possible plot lines might entail? Perhaps a frantic staging of a scene outside the stage door, or a cameo by one of the members of the OBC? Would it portray the lives of rent-heads in sincerity, or spoof them a la Forbidden Broadway?
wow...this is starting to get fun...

the TKTS booth, or just a cast appearance or something with fans mobbing them and police having to calm the riot. like in the movie during maureens protest.
Hahaha... I could totally see this. What You Own becomes a number about who has the best collection of RENT memorabilia, boots, etc. I can just hear the lyrics now...
"How do you recognize the words when the words can't be heard? The band's just too loud!"
any Renthead musical would have to include a scene at the ziegfeld rent premiere- it was like the biggest gathering of rentheads the world has ever seen! and everyone crowding around anthony, too funny.
you may know what you need but to get what you want better see that you keep what you have
I think "Over The Moon" should be the mob scene outside the neder after the Lottery on April 29th...and who didn't win tickets.
I am so suprised no one fought for the damn key seat for the movie HA!
OUT Tonight could be the fans rant about which castmember is out of the show yet again..
I also would like to add my monologue that I wrote about 5 years ago..it was an inner monologue from Justin The Line Guy at the Nederlander.. my friend saved it and just sent it to me this past week.. I'd forgotten about it but, I think it's hilarious now.
Justin The Line Guy: Everyone Get On The Fking Grates!!!! Jesus Christ how the hell did I score a job like this? Oh yes, I have to pay my RENT. I need a smoke! Where are my fking cigarettes!! Oh I bet that "coma coma coma coma comelian rob" stole my last cigarette!! IT"S TIME TO CALL THE NAMES?? WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S TIME TO CALL THE NAMES ALREADY???? I Still Have To Be Bribed By The Fadale Fans To Win Tickets To Her 7th Last Show. Ok HEre Goes: JOEL TORRENCE, JOEL TORRENCE, JOEL TORRENCE, JOEL TORRENCE, ALLI BRODER, JOEL TORRENCE, JOEL TORRENCE, JOEL TORRENCE, YUNG CHUNG SHMAGUNG... YUNG SHMAGUNG ARE YOU HERE??? NO YUNG.. F**K THIS, JOEL DID YOU WIN YET??? Screw This, I'm Going to work for the non-equity tour of Cats. Updated On: 12/4/05 at 09:05 PM
Take Me Or Leave Me - It turns into a song about those of us whose friends cannot stand the RENThead aspect of our personality.
The What You Own idea is hysterical.
"We don't value the lily less for not being made of flint and built to last. Life's bounty is in it's flow, later is too late. Where is the song when it's been sung, the dance when it's been danced? It's only we humans who want to own the future too."
- Tom Stoppard, Shipwreck
