H'okay gonna forgive the Stedicam operator some if this was their first full runthrough. 

Ya know I thought PP was bad- this is sad.  I understand that advertising was sold on the basis of RENT ! Live but really they should have rescheduled or at least had an understudy for the leads. This is going to be the TV musical version of Carrie. Bragging rights cos u saw the accident happen. ( no I don't mean the ankle break and I can't believe they will show that- Standards and Practices forced them to clean up the show  itself can't let real human suffering be seen)

She gets better as the show goes on. From what I remember, she redeems herself during "Without You" and her vocals are more clear there. I think it was rough for her dancing and singing to "Out Tonight" going into "Another Day."

OBC CAST PLEASE!!!"

Umm, they’re now in their fifties, dude

I think the 'rock concert' esque element is an interesting addition. On another site I called it "not rent in it's pure form" but nonetheless enjoyable.

 

Fisher really sells Mark's dramatic elements, his tango maureen just about killed me with theatrics.

Angel's wig is so distracting goddamn.

Most of my commercials are music only. 

I was reading somewhere a while ago about the sound mixing process during one of these events and I suspect there may be some scrambling going on to broadcast the recording. I would assume everything was st for a live broadcast.

I feel it got off to a shaky start but it is getting better.

True Jordan should be playing Angel...The dude playing  Angel is terrible. Who is he?

That ridiculous intro about Angel being herself should not have to be explained by the actor. It should be shown by actor. What a disappointment. Surely there were better actors auditioning than Valentina.

Hulu live really has some answers to give. Im dying to see this train wreck. Still unavailable.

yeah that was one of the issues with the movie. The cast of rent is a lot more sympathetic when they're young and figuring life out and making mistakes and being selfish and stupid as many young people are. It loses something if they're in their 40s

James Andrew Leyva, more known as Valentina on RuPaul’s Drag Race. Valentina is a famous drag queen.

The Fox Now app stopped working, so I tried the Spectrum app and that's working so far. My TV is also working but that's in another room. I need to multitask during this because I seriously can't just sit and watch it.

Yea I was a little disappointed they changed "think twice before you poo poo it"  didn't think that was bad enough to get rid of. It's one of my favorite lines lol

Valentina is dreadful. The energy could be higher, but the staging is cool.

Valentina is DREADFUL! Totally ruining the show.

I think Will I? felt so strong because it’s a chorus piece and the ensemble for Rent Live has some extremely talented and seasoned performers in it, plus everyone’s voice sounds a little better when mixed with others.

Is this live now? The sound seems different than earlier.

I don't understand why they aren't doing the non-Roger scenes live???

This is why understudies/swings/standbys are so important in theatre!

Jordan Fisher is carrying this show. Wow.

[Robbie2]

Posted: 1/27/19 at 9:14pm

This won't be nominated or winning ANY Awards!

Keala Settle sitting on that stage and knowing her insane talent, makes this all the more difficult to watch.

[RWPrincess]

Posted: 1/27/19 at 9:14pm

Sounds like they were so unprepared for this that they cannot figure out how to toggle back and forth between live and taped. Understudies please!

I’m only up to Today 4 U but is Valentina supposedly a singer bc that was a horrific vocal by any standards.  I’m asking seriously.
