The Frosty stories were funny. I would have loved to see Frosty standing in Anthony's place for "Finale" in the alternate ending.
"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli
Just wanted to pop in to say that I found out the Life Support scenes were filmed at a SF school I work in. I didn't notice it on the big screen, because I was just thrilled to see Rent on screen. However, when I watched it on dvd, I noticed that the auditorium looked ALOT like the one at mt school. I asked my mom, who thought so too. Well, I asked that older guy who knoes Anthony and he confirmed it.:) I do disaility programs, with my mom, in that auditorium. Knowing that the very talented cast of Rent performed there, it is going to make me a even better presenter!:)
I really wanted a gag reel on the DVD, actually. Ah, well... At least there's commentary from Anthony and Adam.
"Oh, good. After all, I can rub my stomach and pat my head at the same time, and I can do it with my eyes closed while whistling 'The Entertainer.' That's rhythm for you."
~ Snaps, proving that White Boys CAN have rhythm
Gag reels can either be tremendously stupid or tremendously funny. Based on the "gag reel-esque" stories I've heard, a Rent one would have been hilarious.
