I've heard rumours that the OBCR was recorded differently than most cast albums, but I'm not really clear on how (my own ignorance, I apologize)
I've also heard that a lot of OBC cast members are not fond of the recording.
What are your thoughts on the OBCR?

'we were exhausted when we did the album... it was MUCH more intense onstage... EVERY night (I'm proud to say)'

Wow. you go girls!

Beka, that's how I feel about all of Rent.

Did the other cast member have nicknames? Can I ask that?

trust me - there are MANY b'way performances I wish I could have been there to see..

i.e. JERRY ORBACH in the original CHICAGO (as Billy Flynn) stripping to his skivvies!!!!!

I think he's just great!

"I've also heard that a lot of OBC cast members are not fond of the recording."

This may be a total longshot, but was it not something about the number of mics, or people having to share mics?

How many days were vocals recorded for the cast recording? I remember reading that (I think) a large amount was spent doing it..

Any stories about the recording?

Out of the celebrities who visited the show while you were in it, who was your favorite?

"JERRY ORBACH in the original CHICAGO (as Billy Flynn) stripping to his skivvies!!!!!"
PBS aired Broadway's Lost Treasures II and that was one of the numbers they showed. I believe it's on DVD

"I WISH I WAS OLDER IN 1996!!!!!!" *raises hand in agreement, although my first time I was 11*

I wouldn't use his nickname, not my place...

i know *i* won't call him that... 'anthony' is just fine since i don't know him as well as you

on the recording...

i don't remember how long it took...

i can't say if the number of mics was more or less than standard having never cut an album before that.

no real stories - we were all exhausted and trying to get ready for the TONY push...

Hehe I don't think many people will actually call him that... or at least I hope not...

We've sort of bombarded him with questions when he first joined, plus he's on the west coast w/ little shop right now so theres quite a time difference and expensive internet connections in his hotel... not sure when/if he's even coming back

ughh i had to wait until i was 13 due to parental rules...

Poor Anthony is probably afraid of us and the massive pile of questions.

[broadwaystar2b]

Posted: 11/24/04 at 12:14am

oh, my parents didn't have a clue
it was on our Broadway touring season...

[BEKA531]

Posted: 11/24/04 at 12:15am

mine did, cause i really only see stuff on broadway... no point in seeing a tour if the real thing is 30 min away...

^^ i dont think there's been an actual QUESTION on that thread in DAYS... everyone (myself included, i stopped 3 days ago) has just threadjacked and filled that thread with junk. i think we should just make a new one when he comes back and everyone who is still around can just ask their questions again, SLOWLY...

Mine aren't fully aware of what Rent is. They're the types who believe that all musicals are happy and cute and never have cursing or anything of that sort.

I was almost seventeen... I'd been bugging my parents for years, but in retrospect I'm glad I waited. I don't think it would've meant as much to me at thirteen or fourteen. I went with my dad; he fell asleep. Blah.

I was 11, and Fredi was my first Joanne. Hehe.

[BEKA531]

considering the amount of times i've played rent blasting through the house (and having my mom come in and ask if i knew what a dildo was @ 12 years old, like the rest of us who have that story), they know that all musicals aren't "happy and cute and never have cursing" unfortunately...

beka, touring productions are the ONLY cure I have against NYC withdrawl
this is the stupid Floridian speaking
but I do have to say this: I was not allowed to buy the CD afterwards and had to wait till my 14th birthday to get The Highlights and my 15th Xmas to get the double disc

I daresay Anthony will be back when he has the time..

just like me - right now I have the time... in a couple of weeks? Who knows....

and yes - it would be best to err on the side of caution and not find yourselves overly familiar.... it can indeed breed contempt.


fave celebs at RENT...

gosh - there were sooo many

DIANA ROSS - hello need I say more...?
ROBERT ALTMAN - my personal hero

I'm not really effected by celebs because I've been working with the for years - besides which I consider all people equals regardless of their job, status, income, etc...
but, these two stand out as far as celebs go.
there were many, many others...

he fell asleep

WOW.


Fredi was my first Joanne

i officially hate you now...
i'd KILL to see ANY of the OBC... (which is why i'm SO for the movie... but lets not get into that here) Updated On: 11/24/04 at 12:20 AM
