Tracie to Idina
What was your first reaction when they showed you the cat costume that you'd have to wear?

What kind of workout routine did you have to squeeze into that cat costume? Were you nervous the first day you had to wear it?

Where is the cat costume now?
(can you tell I quite enjoyed the cat costume? LOL)

Anthony to Taye

How'd you get to be so hot since we were in Rent? Our picture is still on the front of the Nederlander Theatre and you definitely looked, uhm, different back then.

everyone
Did you keep/steal anything from the set as a memento?

Is there anything you WANTED to take from the set but they didn't let you?

Will you continue to work in theatre in the future?

What did you learn while shooting this movie?

Since there's so much wait time while shooting a movie, what did you do to pass the time?


hahaha - I love yours BroadwayGirl107!

For anyone to ask anyone...

What was your first impression of me?
Do you ever get freaked out by some of your fans?
Out of everyone you've seen do Rent on stage, who's portrayal of your character did you enjoy the most?

I love Madame X's questions for Idina, hahaha.

I would love to hear what any of the actors would say who they would cast if they had to cast someone else in their own roles for the movie...

Anthony to Adam: Did you really try to post dirty comments on the blog?

really, though...
Wilson to Jesse: What inspired so much emotion for the I'll Cover You: Reprise scene while filming? Is it more from your character's perspective or did it come from a more personal level?

Adam to Anthony: Are you surprised or startled by the enormous positive reaction from the fans about the movie already? Even though some were skeptical, they're supporting it whole-heartedly. Is that shocking to you? Do you think their reaction is founded on your personal thoughts on the movie that you've shared with them (through the blog, etc.)?

credit Jill from Maine if you use them. Thanks!

What other musicals do you think would make a great movie?

[KelRel]

Posted: 11/9/05 at 10:03pm

Idina to Tracie: You have always wanted to be Joanne, what attracted you to the role? It was kissing me wasn't it? (that last bit is a joke and doesn't have to be included with the real question)

Anthony to Taye: Did you try to convince Idina to bring the cat suit home?

Taye to Anthony: You are open about your sexuality, has it even cost you a role or caused you any professional "trouble"?

Adam to Rosario: When you were cast as Mimi were you afraid that you would have to do the rail scene from the stage production?

Rosario to Adam: You have said that you like the recording from this production more than the OBC recording. What do you like more about the soundtrack?

To all, but especially the OBC members: How do you think Jonathan would feel if he were alive today about this adaptation?

You can credit Kelley from Kentucky if you use these.

rosario to adam: Did you keep anything from the stage run of RENT? Like maybe.......the plaid pants?(we know anthony has parts of the mark costume)

adam to rosario: How much of Mimi did you take from previous Mimi's you've seen on Broadway, how much was from you, and how much was from Jonathan's words on the page?

To everyone: If you could describe this entire experience in just one word, what would it be?

Any of them but especially the OBC...

To anyone: Do you have a favorite out of the other actors who have portrayed your role after/before you? Who and why?
To Tracie & Rosario: Did you feel like the fans accepted you as part of the group from the beginning?

[MrMidwest]

"Rosario to Adam: You have said that you like the recording from this production more than the OBC recording. What do you like more about the soundtrack?"

Great question, KelRel.

These questions are great!

To anyone: Which character would you want to live as for one day? What would you tell your character?

[Broadwayluva]

Posted: 11/9/05 at 11:04pm

Kind of on the same track as BWLVER34, but what were you doing when you found out/got the call, that you were being considered for the movie? Did you tell any friends or family right away?

Is there a line that your character says that you've always cringed at?

Is there a question you've always had about your character that through expanding the depths of the characters on film, you've been able to answer?

If you could ask Jonathan one question, what would it be?

[leap_of_moo]

Posted: 11/9/05 at 11:21pm

Anyone:
-How do you think the general public will react to this film?
-Do you think that if "Rent" is successful it will encourage even more movie musicals to be made?

-How do you eat your Oreos?

If I think of more, I'll post them later.

If any of these are used, please credit Erin from British Columbia, Canada.

Would you ever consider going back and reprising your role on Broadway?

You began with RENT over ten years ago! How has your performance changed?

What is your favorite part to sing in the show?

Do you think I could pull of playing your role?

After this, are you completely done with RENT?

(To the newcomers)You never got a chance to experience performing the show on Broadway. If a director called you right now, do you think you could play your role on Broadway tonight?

WHat do you tink of the new movie costumes?

After RENT on Broadway, did you ever catch yourself singing songs from the show, unaware that you would be in the movie?

What would you say to the original cast members who could not be a part of the film?

How have your relationships with the cast members changed since the show opened on Broadway?

Continue please!

any nicknames come about for eachother either from performing on stage or while the movie was being filmed? laura-seattle

Madame X, I heard that the OBC pictures are no longer on the doors at the Nederlander. They were recently changed. And apparently, they are in the WRONG order!

kitkatt, your question was my question on the blog!

More questions:

Who do you hope will get the most out of the message of this movie? (i.e. conservatives, teenagers, nontheater fans, etc.)

What is your favorite story from filming?

Which do you prefer, stage or film? (or in Jesse's case, TV?)

These are for everyone.

Any funny bloopers we should know about?

Did you ever get inspiration by watching your fellow actors/actresses work on camera?

(If ya use them, credit them to Carole Ann from California. Same with that question on the first page)

ALL CAST: Would you ever reprise your role in the Broadway production? (As in non charity events)

TAYE TO ANTHONY: Do you think Mark ever found companionship aside from his hand? (I'm kidding of course)

ANTHONY TO TAYE: Benny is sometimes referred to as the most misunderstood of the group of friends, how do you think the film provides further insight into him?

IDINA TO TRACIE: Why do you think Joanne is so attracted to the Bohemian lifestyle?

WILSON TO JESSE: Would you ever consider making an album?

JESSE TO WILSON: If Angel hypothetically had a meeting with George Bush, what would they talk about?

ROSARIO TO ADAM: What do you think Roger and Mimi would be up to in 2005?

ADAM TO ROSARIO: You've done films in the past that have had a cult following such as Sin City, how do fans of Rent compare to those you've encountered in the past?
