I'm not going to comment on that, except to say, that I do wish Columbus had kept the entire film in the East Village. It would have heightened the sense of the characters feeling "trapped" and been a further impetus for Roger to need to "flee" to Santa Fe.

thanks for that its awesome
Save him please, just save him
My poor Boq, my sweet, my brave him
Don't leave me till my sorry life has scene
Alone and loveless here, just the girl in the mirror
Just her and me, the Wicked Witch of the East

Perhaps I shouldn't comment...
Okay, I will. It's bad. But no worse than the rest of the movie. It could have been left in.

MB, I'd make a comment in response to you, but I haven't yet figured out how to write it in limmerick form.
BroadwayGirl, I love how you word your comment so that you can call it bad, but still avoid admitting that Chris Columbus made the correct decision in leaving it out. Good job

No, I don't think he made the correct decision in leaving it out at all. It's bad, yes. But just as bad as the rest of the movie, so it might as well have gone back in. I mean, it's some characterization for Mark. Which is better than nothing.

I was actually told by somebody involved in the original production that on stage, the scene supposedly takes place walking out of a memorial service at St.Brigid's Church on Avenue B/Tompkins Square Park. If that's the case, Angel could have just as well been cremated...

I like it. And Emcee, you have to download Windows media player to play it. It worked just fine for me.

I had no idea WMA worked on a Mac, DJ. That makes no sense, but I can try! 
Random FYI, filming for pieces of several scenes was done in very close vicinity to that chruch.
Well. If ICY:R is at the church, and Halloween is LEAVING the church, and Goodbye Love is at the cemetary, that makes sense, even though it's kind of nondescript when you watch it on stage. But in the movie Halloween is in the cemetary?

I always imagined this scene taking place at night. There's something about it I don't like.

I never really thought "I'll Cover You" was at the memorial service in the Broadway production. And Larson clearly borrowed the structure for the testimonial section after Angel's deaths from other plays like SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE. Since the play goes in and out of realism - I figured that part was not bound to any one time and place, but the actual realism picked up with HALLOWEEN, outside of the church.
Okay how is this for laughable - in what mortuary in the world are they going to cremate the body or have a funeral without proper payment in advance?

I have dial-up, so the picture stuck a few times, so obviously I didn't get the full magnitude of his acting. But, if what I did see, plus that AOL session is any indication, he‘s sure to be amazing as always.
Now, again, I didn't see all of the visuals, so I have to ask: were there any close-ups? I didn't see any, and frankly, it pissed me off. There aren't very many close-ups in the movie as it is, and I was looking forward to seeing his expressions.

There are no closeups. He's just walking randomly through some fall foliage.

Notice how they're in SOL formation, though? Apparently (I didn't know this until I read Anthony's book) SOL is supposed to be at the memorial, and everything from Happy New Year to ICY:R is a flashback. Not that that explains why Angel is in the song, but... suspension of disbelief.
I also never figured it to be bound to any specific location, because it's so nondescript on stage. But for it to be at the church is a plausible interpretation.

That's interesting Em - but if that's true (and it makes sense) than why didn't they just film it that way instead of opening the movie with SEASONS OF LOVE (which doesn't particularly make sense.)

By the way, you spelled burial wrong...but I guess that's neither here nor there.

The only thing I can think of, MB, is that it wouldn't make sense or be clear on film. To be perfectly honest, like I said, I never knew that was the implication until I read it in the book. I never got that from watching, and I've seen the show a number of times.
Unless by "that way" you mean ICY:R at the church, Halloween on the way from the church to the cemetary and Goodbye Love in the cemetary.
But in that vein, one of my questions is (and has been) why Mark would be alone at that point. Wouldn't they all go together?

I always thought that Jon rewrote Rent to be a flashback, like Em said, but then changed it to its current form, which is linear. Not sayingg that is right, because Anthony (and Em to be honest) would know better than I would.
