I'm hearing some things about the original Broadway cast of Rent doing a performance on April 24 as a 10th reunion special.
Just wondering if anyone else heard about this. If so, how did you hear about it?

God bless that man! *steps off her 'I Love Anthony' soapbox for a moment...but just a moment*
I got it from the same place, the blog. Already saving up...where's Emcee to blow us away with her vast knowledge?

Clearly, *I* should be flanked by *them*. No temples!

Posted: 7/21/05 at 9:07pmGood point. *instead builds a temple for Emcee and makes Adam and Raul be her attending slave men for whatever use she has for them...*

Posted: 7/21/05 at 9:10pmHow in the world could they make the tickets $1,000 and $1,000? I want to see this show so badly but paying that much for 1 three hour show is ridiculous!
#8re: Rent 10th Anniversary Reunion Show?
Posted: 7/21/05 at 9:43pmThey can make the tickets cost that much because it's an awesome show with the ORIGINAL BROADWAY CAST!!! I'm saving my money up.

Posted: 7/21/05 at 9:47pmHence the word "benefit."
#10re: Rent 10th Anniversary Reunion Show?
Posted: 7/21/05 at 9:48pm
Ack, well it certainly doesn't benefit me 
#11re: Rent 10th Anniversary Reunion Show?
Posted: 7/21/05 at 9:51pmI don't think we're the ones they're thinking of when the word "benefit" is in there.
#12re: Rent 10th Anniversary Reunion Show?
Posted: 7/21/05 at 9:52pmI haven't really read much about it...are they doing the whole show? The 5 year benefit was only an hour long. Don't get me wrong, it was very enjoyable, but I'd be curious if (benefit or not) they'll be singing through the whole show for that hefty price???
#13re: Rent 10th Anniversary Reunion Show?
Posted: 7/21/05 at 9:55pmI think this is an actual performance of Rent. Costumes and everything. Or at least that's the idea I get when they say "benefit performance". If it were just them singing, wouldn't they say "concert"?
#14re: Rent 10th Anniversary Reunion Show?
Posted: 7/21/05 at 10:01pmI hadn't really read much about it...I've just been reading about the "benefit" or "benefit show" which could go either way. I'm sure whatever they're going to do is still kind of up in the air, considering it's not until the end of April. Maybe? *shrug*

My best guess is that it will not be a full-out performance of the show. More like a concert--the whole show sung through--no real staging, no costumes. I guess that's kind of like the Les Mis 10th anniversary thing.
At $1000 a tix, I'll never know. But I still stick to my original idea, it should be one of the extras on the movie DVD.

Posted: 7/21/05 at 11:27pmIt will be a sung through concert but it is at the Neder so I'm assuming there will be staging or else they could really just do it anywhere.

Posted: 7/21/05 at 11:51pmYes they will be. I asked that question when I e-mailed the foundation. Does anyone know when tickets go on sale?

Speaking of which, who exactly DOES benefit from this concert? Where is the $$ going?
I tried to convince my mother into going by telling her it was for dying orphan puppies who have AIDS and are unwed mothers!! :)

Posted: 7/22/05 at 1:13amI think it either goes to BC/EFA or The Jonathan Larson Foundation.

Since the Jonathan Larson Foundation site says that the benefit is "for the Jonathan Larson Performing Arts Foundation, Friends In Deed and New York Theatre Workshop", I'm assuming those organizations will get the proceeds.

Posted: 7/22/05 at 1:36am$1,000 dollars????? *faints* I'm only 16, I don't have that kind of money! And even if I did, like my parents would let me spend it on a performance. AGGHHH cruel fate!! Why must it be against me seeing the OBC live once in my life....WHY. *end spaz attack*

Posted: 7/22/05 at 11:57ami know im 14 and when I told my mom about it she laughed in my face. I mean I do understand 1000 is crazy for one show, I think it's kinda unfair they charge that much but I understnad they want to make a profit.
