there have been so many different actors/actresses portraying these characters over the past 8 years... who's your ultimate cast?

OBC minus Wilson, plus Jai.

[BEKA531]

I love the OBC but I'd be willing to go with your idea emcee.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 2/28/05 at 9:45pm

Jai was just that good.

I'll probably be butchered for this, but OBC minus wilson, plus shaun earl, minus idina, plus maggie benjamin or caren lyn manuel, and plus mayumi ando for "alexi darling"

No butcherin' from me. You kept my boy.

OBC. Wilson was INCREDIBLE. Are you forgetting that he won the Tony? He was beyond amazing.

*prepares to run from Emcee*

Raúl Esparza as Mark...
Jai as Angel...
Norbert Leo Butz as Roger...

*and that would be my cue to run*

Well, you DID give us some Raúl. And I can't really chase after you. I'm too sick.

[Chrysanthemum62001]

Posted: 2/28/05 at 9:57pm

I'm sorry you are still sick! I really, really do love Adam though!

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 2/28/05 at 9:58pm

Good good. That's what I like to hear!

I'll be okay soon, I hope.

no, no, no...i saw wilson and LOVED him. He did a GREAT job as angel, and i truly think he deserved the tony. I just...i dunno, I love shaun's angel more. there's something about it that is just...irresistable.

*throws up on zepka*

You know, since that's my only weapon. I can't beat you up.

Jwei, I understand completely. I totally didn't mean to attack your opinion or anything... I just think people forget how awesome Wilson was because he hasn't been in Wicked or Aida... I mean, I love me some Idina and Adam, but Wilson was an irreplaceable member of the OBC too, in my opinion.
I never got to see Shaun Earl though, but I'm sure he was amazing if you've seen so many incarnations of the show and think so...

[zepka102]

careful... throwing up has powerful affects on people...





emcee, i love you... i would NEVER count adam out of the perfect rent cast :P

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 2/28/05 at 10:15pm

Good, because I love him. And you. But if you excluded him, that would SO change.

[zepka102]

Posted: 2/28/05 at 10:16pm

nope... not changing

[Chrysanthemum62001]

Posted: 2/28/05 at 10:18pm

Does that mean you don't love me?!

*retreats to corner*

[BEKA531]

Posted: 2/28/05 at 10:22pm

ok, now i have another question. who actually SAW the OBC? (live, i must add )

[Jwei123]

Posted: 2/28/05 at 10:22pm

yeah, infinite, i hear you...and i LOVE me some wilson. He is definitely one of my top three, and that is a tough list to get on!
But yeah, Wilson did a fantastic job, and i have seen the show WAY too many times.

TT= top three

TT angel- wilson, jai, shaun
TT roger- cary, adam, MANLEY! (why does no one else like him?)
TT mark- anthony, matt, colin
TT joanne- merle, fredi are my top two..no one else comes close
TT maureen- maggie, caren (woohoo for understudies!), idina
TT mimi- SCARY SPICE! just kidding. daphne, krystal, yaz
TT collins- once again, i only love MRF, and jesse. top two, and ironically, first, and most recent!

wow i need a life. how many times have i seen rent, you ask? Too many!
