Posted: 5/18/06 at 9:50pmI dont understand when I saw Tim he was absolutley fantastic and I dont even think I saw him spit once, I noticed Matt Caplan did spit like right across the stage when he said "December 24th 9:00p.m." That was it.

how is the new Joanne? the number I always look foward to the most when seeing rent on broadway is Take Me or Leave Me. The movie soudtrack and the OBC recording just does not do the song justice. I need that intimate setting. So how is the number and the new Joanne?
Thanks a lot.
O and who is replacing Matt?

Posted: 5/19/06 at 7:41amThere's a new Joanne? If you mean Kenna, she's been there for months. No replacement for Matt has been announced yet.

Posted: 5/19/06 at 7:45amThere is not a new Joanne but the Take me or Leave me scene is great.

I went to "Rent" as part of the 10th anniversay $20 seats and it had been years since I had seen it.
I was similary shocked at the age of the people in the theater. I overheard a kid probably around 10 say during intermission "I like it they curse a lot." I was kind of flawed at how badly he was missing the points of the show and how much more I appreciated "Rent" when I was just a few years older then him (the first time I saw it).
Even more strange was the teen who downed a beer in a brown paper bag in the bathroom before me and left it under the toilet bowl.
What is going on at the Nederlander?

Haha, I got showered with spit at the Color Purple, and I was in the second row! Mostly by Kingsley Leggs, but the funny thing was that while I was waiting in the rush line, this woman behind me was talking about how we would probably get showered with spit and I was thinking, second row, I don't know...But it was so close to the stage that we could feel EVERYTHING!
Oh, and to be on topic....
Poor Karmine! I would have started laughing...

Karmine is the worst Mimi i have ever seen along Mel B. No other Mimi was as good as Krystal L. Washington.
#38re: Caution: The first few rows may get wet! (RENT- 4/15)
Posted: 5/20/06 at 3:20pm
I cannot disagree more.
Krystal L. was HORRID.
Antonique is my fav.
#39re: Caution: The first few rows may get wet! (RENT- 4/15)
Posted: 5/20/06 at 3:22pmAnthonique is great too. But Krystal horrid? why?

I've only seen her play Mimi once so she could of been having an "off" day.
But, I didn't really like her voice. I don't know the word to use to describe it I just didn't like her.
She reminded me of Saycon Sengbloh (who im not to much a fan of) ALOT.
#41re: Caution: The first few rows may get wet! (RENT- 4/15)
Posted: 5/20/06 at 3:29pmMaybe it was an "off" day. But we must agree to disagree, she does sound a little like Saycon i guess. So maybe just not yout favorite type of voice.

Posted: 5/20/06 at 5:22pmKrystal is probably the most disliked Mimi ever to grace the stage at the Neder. I remember the disbelief when that casting announcement was made.
#44re: Caution: The first few rows may get wet! (RENT- 4/15)
Posted: 5/20/06 at 10:47pmI remember when I saw Rent on april 24th I had Moeisha McGill she was absolutely wonderful I think she is my new favorite Mimi, on april 25th I saw Antonique she was pretty good.

Posted: 5/21/06 at 3:21amI'm not a big fan of Tim Howar anyway. I look at how amazingly talented Ruthie Henshall is and then I think what does she see in him. He must be great in bed.

Same. I really don't like her singing. Or her acting.

Posted: 5/21/06 at 9:49amI thought Tim Howar was amazing. He was very nice to.
