People better not sing! (only half joking) I thought they'd be more respectful than that. I hope so at least. :-/ I haven't listened to the soundtrack for the express reason of hearing it with seeing it. I hope that wasn't for nothing. Now, I'm a little worried.
At the first few showings in the city anywhere, I'd expect the Renthead singing and such to be about equal. Maybe the Symphony Space will be better because the actors will be there and it's a serious event? Is that wishful thinking?

You might be right, Alix, which is another reason I'm considering it. I've also avoided listening to the soundtrack, aside from what you hear in the trailers and videos. If someone starts singing I may have to throttle her. (Unfortunately, it's likely to be a her, I think.)
Emcee, if any fan deserves a private screening, it's you!
You guys think the cast will only be there for the Q&A or do you think they'll watch the movie with the audience? By then, God knows how many times they may have had to watch it.
I hung out with Cheyenne Jackson in his dressing room waayyyyyy before he tickled D2."unleash the girly"
Our fingerprints don't fade from the lives we touch.
The benefit would probably be only the third time, after their private screening and the premiere. It probably all depends on how each of them feels about seeing him or herself on screen. Some actors hate it and others don't mind. It's kind of like listening to your own voice - I'm sure you've all that "ewww" reaction hearing it on tape.
The actors who were at the 24 hour plays said that they loved the movie. Wilson even said that when he was watching, he got so engrossed with Angel dying, that he forgot he played Angel. Also, from reading what they've said so far and watching the blogs, I'd think that they would want to experience watching it with the fans, at least once.

I'll bring my bamboo stick, and then I'll hurt anyone who pisses me off.
Anthony and I watched some of the blog videos together. I.... no, I have nothing to say. I tend not to talk about it. Except that I just blogged about how surreal my life is becoming.
The bamboo stick would be perfect for the job. It would certainly be my weapon of choice. Can you imagine their reactions of amazement as they fall to the ground (for the rest of the movie, when the effect will be forgivingly lost), uable to sing anymore?

Random notes: tonight is the eighth anniversary of Adam's last performance at the Nederlander.
I'm having a hard time keeping myself from looking at the review thread with spoilers - not that it's the spoilers I mind so much. I just don't want to read a lot of other opinions before I see the movie for myself.
::closes eyes, puts hands over ears and starts chanting loudly::
On one of the blog videos, Adam was talking about doing Rent on stage versus doing Rent on film, and basically said that for him, it was the difference between approaching the role as a singer versus approaching the role as an actor. So he precedes his comments with "WELL. I had eight years to think about it!" His tone was just so funny.
I'm trying to steer clear of those threads as well. I also tried to stay away from the threads about the soundtrack before I got it. I didn't succeed very well.

I also haven't looked at anything about the soundtrack or the movie, which has been easier than I thought it would be. My desire to experience it for myself the first time I guess is so strong that I don't even consider clicking. I just ignore them.
