I didn't squeal or anything when they started singing that song... nope... not me.. I don't squeal..



That just made me a very very happy girl.

Ah yes, and Taye and Idina are adorable. Updated On: 8/4/05 at 08:56 AM

Adam and Anthony sounded awesome! It was like the OBC Recording live on tv...they sounded the same. I am really excited for this now. And how cute are Idina and Taye!

That was the best way to start my day. Amazing. Rosario has become a RENThead, lol.

I'm not the hugest Adam fan ever....but he looks/sounds really good. As he and Anthony sang, Rosario and Tracie just looked happy to be at the party - standing with the other RENTheads singing along! I loved the shot from the stage show where they're standing in the same spots -- 10 years before.

eeee :)

bummer we only got 2 songs...but at least we got something else in addition to SOL (I had a feeling it would be What You Own)!!

Can't wait to hear the reports from those that were there and in Bryant Park at noon!!!

can we say adam looks HOTT!! i usually don't think he's that hott.. but yeahh.. he looks HOTT!! and is that a new poster that the crowd is holding? this is verrry exciting. I wish I wasn't babysitting today.. grrr.. and I had to help her put her contacts in so I missed SOL! At least I saw what you own!

"maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course, we wouldn't fall in love, or have babies, or be who we are. After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you're very lucky, a plane ride away" -sex and the city

Same here, bettyschaefer.

I was never too excited for the movie, but I think I am now.

Wonderful cast, great score, amazing meaning.

I am listening to the OBCR now.

They are in such good shape... oh wow... It was amazing. Can't wait to hear more from those of you who actually got to go! It sounded and looked great from my livingroom! And even though it's just hair... oh man

Yeah... I can't get over how gorgeous Adam looked. I don't know Emcee at all, but the first thought that came to mind was "Wow - she must be flipping out". lol

I'm so sad I'll be missing Bryant Park. I'm moving to the city a month too late!

Can I just say that I love that the show is staying true to its theatre roots -- especially working with BC/EFA. I just think that is wonderful.

SOL made me cry. But that's no surprise, since it's connected with the trailer and the trailer makes me cry.

Idina and Taye ARE adorable, as always.

I loooved that they all looked so connected with each other, and when Adam went to sing to Rosario, she and Tracie went all fangirl like and started screaming. It was so cute to see them just acting like fans.

What You Own was phenomenal. Those two never cease to amaze me. I am a huge huge Adam Pascal girl .. and .. he is just, wow. So ...*pets him*. Anthony's adorable too, I agree with all of you.

Ugh, this is just such an attractive cast! I love them all.


And I will post likely watch this about .... 6 more times today. At least. WONDEROUS.

Also - I was happy to see them show a clip from a scene we hadn't seen, even though Katie was talking over it. (They showed a clip of Anthony and Adam.)

Are you all New Yorkers? The performances haven't aired yet in Chicago.

Agreed, musicnmath. It was very appropriate that Anthony spoke hardly of the film, but of the cause. Beautiful performance. Gosh did they all look great. Tracie in that little shirt, Adam, Anthony - goodness gracious - Someone take pictures in the park, por favor!

It was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps... What did she realize, Kitten? That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs. What's wrong with that? Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had... Where? On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.

That was great!
I didnt know they were singing "What You Own"
which is like one of my favorite songs of all time
very nice surprise.

"No two shows are alike in the making. Each show is a living piece of your life in a small unreal world with its own character and integrity; its own new set of memorable experiences and incredible happenings. You begin to love and adapt to its strangeness. Dreams harden into substance. Values come into focus. You wish it would never end. The dream world vanishes like mist before a rising sun; part of you vanishes with it. And back you land in the real world with a thud- fogged, uneasy, jittery, difficult to get along with. There is only one cure. A new show. A new, small unreal world; new visions, experiences, incredible happenings. Again you love it, adapt to it, wish it would never end. But end it does. Another part of you vanishes. That's show business."-Anonymous

*mucho applause* That was AWESOME... and I'm not even that big a RENT fan.

Hmm. I'm sensing that's becoming a trend, though. Even non-RENT addicts seem excited for this!
