RENT was highly commercialized the minute it moved to the Nederlander.

Totally agree -- was just commenting on that with my friend. We discussed how, in a way, the 2019 RENT reflects the highly commercialized and polished NYC of 2019, compared to the grittier, more real NYC of the 90s matched more by the original production.

Does anyone have any idea how I could watch this in the UK?

Thanks!

You'll need to 1)trick your internet browser into thinking you're in the US (look for articles online; it may take some troubleshooting but it's doable), and 2) visithttps://www.fox.com/live/. It may be just streaming on there, but you may needacable login (in which case, you should ask an American friend)."

Okay, thanks! :)

RENT Live! is being done on the FOX lot in Los Angeles.  

Daphne’s alleged party is in NYC. 

Unless she can magically transport herself in seconds, it’s logistically impossible to be on both coasts in a span of less than 3 hours.

Why do I have a feeling that the original cast's participation was pre-taped?

That's not true at all. In 1996, Bloomingdale's had a clothing line inspired by (and endorsed by) the original Broadway production of RENT. In 1999, the Canadian cast of RENT were featured on the cover of a flyer for The Bay, one of Canada's largest department stores. The Bay's parent company, Hudson's Bay Company, now owns Saks Fifth Avenue. So in actuality, absolutely nothing has changed. RENT has always claimed to be gritty while being very commercialized. I love RENT, but let's not pretend it's not in the same business as any other show. 

According to someone on reddit who claims to have been on the run-through, they removed all f***s, some s***s and stuff like that. Contact still in. The guy playing Roger sprained his ankle during What You Own and after a 20 minute stop, he decided to come out and finish the show sitting on a table. Apparently Seasons of Love B is a goner.

edit: ironic how the board auto-hides bad words

I’m also curious about this

I’m not finding the event on their website anymore so maybe it was cancelled? 

 

Edit: Disregard. I found it. And she’s still listed as hosting.
