Hello Rentheads

Posted: 8/25/04 at 9:30am

I've just registered and just wanted to introduce myself: I'm Astrid, 25 from Germany, Rent addict since 1996, shows so far: 68, seeing it on Broadway for the first time in 40 days... 4 times in a row then. Really looking forward to it.

Hope to meet a lot of other Rent freaks here!

No Day But Today!

Astrid

You may fit in better here, honestly... www.compulsivebowlers.com I'm a Renthead as well, but this isn't the place for Rent obsession.

Ok then. I know this is not a Rent Board, I just wanted to say hi and that I love Rent most of all musicals in the whole wide world... I'll post in other threads as well of course...

It's ok 525600, just as long as you don't start a thread called "I LOVE IDINA'S TOENAILS" and force me to change my head scratching to hair pulling.

Oh thanks...
Currently we have Starlight, Cats, Phantom (I guess, they change locations so often that I lost tracking...), AIDA, Mamma Mia (twice), 42nd Street, Les Mis, Lion King, Dance of the Vampires... And that's it I guess. Some smaller productions but I don't know all of them...

If there was, I probably created it in the spirit of satire. Do you remember that one with the close up of her face coming out of the stage door? That was scary!

@Mattio98: No I won't. I don't know her (except from the OBC Soundtrack) so I cannot say anything about any of her body parts... I could start with latest English Roger who really was incredibly pretty... but I won't...

if we had been given the same version of YOUR DOTV, it would still be opened here. are the shows IN german or do they sing in english and speak in german?

No it's completely in German. There is hardly any speaking... It is soooo great! I was really shocked when I heard that they did not even make it the the opening night on Broadway...

Now I'm just picturing "Dancing Queen" being done in German. And in Lion King, do they translate the chants?

#21

re: Hello Rentheads

Posted: 8/25/04 at 10:11am

Yeah they do... I think all of the German versions are sung in German (except West Side Story or JSC, they are mostly sung in English). And Lion King was translated for the movie version of course... So they did not have to translate it for the show...

By the way, did anyone ever tell you that the German lyrics of Rent were the biggest crap ever? I think that's one of the reasons nobody wanted to watch it in Germany...
