I saw a video of Joey Fatone as Mark singing La Vie Boheme somewhere before...I felt like I needed to sterilize my eyes after that.

And we have this talent because we have no life! Hehe.
drew..
I never saw Joey or Drew. I kind of just expected not great things from them and decided to not waste the money. I did, however, see Mel B. from the Spice Girls as Mimi. She was terrible.
Katt, mad posting skillz > having a life
He was gorgeous in his boyband days. I loved him so much.

Yeah, I didn't like Joey, but I think even though Drew was also in a boyband (not dissing them, loved them in middle school, lol), and I really do think he did well. I am getting a boot of my Rent cast soon though, so then I'll be able to actually know if I loved them because my Broadway Rent virginity was broken or if they really were good.

Having a life is overrated anyway.
Rent virginity?
Never thought of it that way.
While the general consensus seems to be that Mel B was the worst Mimi ever and I'm still haunted by that awful Joey/Sebastian rendition of WYO that got posted here a while back, I'm kind of curious as to how Drew was as Mark. I liked his voice in 98 Degrees, and I think he had somewhat of a performing arts background prior to that.
definitly Katt. Having no life is the way to go (at least we think so..)
I was thinking about that the other day, Shiksa. After I saw Rent for the first time, I thought everyone was amazing. Looking back, through hearing audios or seeing other casts, I've realized that they were really not as amazing as I had thought.

Lol, well, there's Rocky virgins, why not Rent vigins? I saw Rent for the first time in Cleveland and it Sucked royaly- The Roger sounded like he should be Raoul in Phantom, the Mark seemed mean and moody, and the Mimi looked white. None of them sang or acted very well.

Jessica, you can thank me for that. I posted that link, heh. It was so awful.

Fantab- I remember asking my friend if the cast recording we bought was of the cast we had just SEEN because I thought they sounded so alike, lol. Now, I know that I'd definintly think differently now, but I still think they were good- I may not have know Rent but I still knew talent.
