ANTONIQUE IS EXTENDING!!!

And?

100% false. Unless something has been announced today. But I spoke with her last night and she is still leaving April 7th.

I spoke to Antonique who says that she's still leaving the 7th.

thank god this is false.

Did anyone actually think she was going to leave after exactly one month? I doubt she has any other job offers.

Unfortunately, I'm going with a couple friends who are coming in from out of town on what would have been after her final day. Can someone please tell me why anyone enjoys her performance? I swear it all comes down to her friendly stagedoor behavior, because I really don't see anything redeeming in her performance.

I know it's not "cool" to like RENT anymore, but I totally do and I totally think that Antonique is one of the best Mimi's I've ever seen.

I'm going to have to try real hard to be open minded and hope I luck into a super ON night for her. In the clips I've seen? She's either sounded awful, or good but clashing against the melody of the song.

Who?

When I said Greeen Girl I was talking about Shoshana Bean who prety much made it verbal that she wante to be making music as oppose to doing wicked and it showed.

Just because a release date isn't out means SH*T. There are a lot of people in this indusrty that don't like to give out a release date because that would have to rush the workd to get it out by that date. And if you wanna think every single time that because someone is comming back into the show that they are doing it cus they are workign on a failing album then be my guest. I can asure you that she LOVES the show and is very verbal about it. I can assure you that she is back because she loves doing the show and for no other reason.


People on these boards bitch and moan when they realize that broadway is slowly going away from the artistic side and now becoming more and more of a busniss. Just like that then maybe there are actually actors that love doing a partiuclar show and are not returning back to it because they can't get an album out or they have to pay the bills ect.

Before Antonique came into RENT Karmine Alers was doing the role. She had been doing it for years and very much loved by the fans. That being said there were people who were worried about who would be replacing her because it seemed as if Karmine was doing it for so long and was so good that she became almost irrepacable sp? But, when I saw Antonique for the first time she wowed me. And, that was during the time in my life ( a few months ago) when I thought that RENT was aamzing. I still do. And I know its said that I have gone so often that the cast knows me by name. I have actually spent a good amount of time over the many times I have seen the show stopping and chatting with Antonique.

Oh, please. You'd only know that for a fact if you were a personal friend of hers and she mentioned that to you. And I'll believe that she's actually putting out an album when I see it.

I also never said that anytime a cast member rejoins the show, they're working on a failing album, but generally cast members who rejoin the show ARE there because they couldn't find work in other avenues of theatre or music.

Actually, I am pretty friendly with her.

Do you have her phone number? Does she ask you out for dinner and drinks on the weekend? Does she come to you with her problems and thoughts on a regular basis that doesn't involve stagedoor interaction? If not, again, you have no real way of knowing what she is truly thinking about the show. I'm not saying that she doesn't like the show, but I doubt she'd come back to the show if her solo music career was going the way she wanted it.

And you are making NO sense. I said that some performers go back to reasons other than their album failing. On the other hand, some performers go back to Rent when their solo music career is in the process of flopping/flopped.
