...but Melanie B isn't in Rent anymore?

I can see it again - YAY!

Hasn't been for a while.

LOL

Thanks

Well, hence my title

WAIT!

WHo's Tom Collins - it's not on the site.

Why's the Rent site so weird?

Mark Richard Ford is Collins. Stu James is back as Benny for a couple weeks because D'Monroe is on vacation. Josh Kobak is filling in 'til late mid December as Steve and Enrico Rodriguez is Paul while Shaun Earl is on. Kendra Kassebaum just left for the Wicked tour and Caren Lyn Manuel is back as Mark's Mom. Todd is not there anymore I don't think.

The Official Rent site is not great on keeping up with the current cast.

While on topic, how much longer is Jeremy in? I know Cary's back soon.... and I do love me some Roger.

Thanks Kris. Yeah, neither is Broadway.com

Is Maggie Maureen?

D'Monroe is good I though. So is Krystal as Mimi.

Kelly Karbacz (sp?) is Maureen, I think, and she's f*cking amazing.

[jmaclover]

Posted: 12/5/04 at 1:52am

Yeah, ok, that's what the site says.

Is she?

Is Drew good? I saw an interview with him and read one and seems to have the background in acting and he's an OK singer. I saw him on Bway on Bway but didn't impress me - well neither did Jeremy.

But YAY Carey's in the show!

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 12/5/04 at 1:55am

She's incredible. Really energetic.

I haven't seen Drew yet. Last I went back was when Matt Caplan was on for him. I'm kind of afraid of Drew. Jeremy won me over fairly quickly for a Roger. I'm kind of sensitive when it comes to Rogers, for obvious reasons.

[jmaclover]

Posted: 12/5/04 at 1:57am

What's the reason?

LOL, j/k.

I wanna see him, cause he's cute, but I dunno yet. Is nose his big.

He's awesome. He's a really angry Roger, and you can see how damaged he is. I like my Rogers angry.

The only thing that didn't sit well with me was Glory. But I have a serious Glory bias.

I like Carey's body

[Kris2]

Jeremy is leaving around January 16th. Cary starts around the 18th. Krystal Washington is leaving the same day as Jeremy I believe. No Mimi has been announced.

I liked Drew well enough. He was a bit stiff in his delivery of lines and singing, but I heard he's improved. So he's okay and getting better still.

Kelly is an average Maureen. I don't enjoy her choices too much, but she has plenty of fans. She has good stage presence and is very pretty.

Posted: 12/5/04 at 2:57am

YAY - I wanna see Carey 0 he was out when I saw it last. Krystal is leaving? NO!

I think I saw her or her understudy. Both are great though!

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 12/5/04 at 2:58am

Gah. Need to get back and see Jeremy. Either that or stop being so attached to my Rogers, which my bank account will like MUCH better.

[jmaclover]

Posted: 12/5/04 at 2:59am

I agree - i need to stop seeing shows.

How IS the current cast of Rent?

Here's what I thought... most of the cast is the same, save for Drew, I think.
RENT 10.14.04

I thought Kelly Karbacz was great! I thought Drew was really good too... I really like it! I LOVED the woman who played Mimi... I hated the person who played her in the OBC! That's just my opinion.
