yes buy the whole album not the highlights! I originally bought the highlights and then when i got the whold thing on cd i realized i was missing out. and go see the show also! RUN RUN RUN like the wind to the nederlander!

"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell plus i proudly share the title of the shortest member over the age of 10 with wickedrentq!

I have both... I got the highlights after my first time, but as I became more familiar with the show, I realized I needed to own the full OBCR. Definitely go with that one. It fills in a lot of the gaps, and you'll probably like it better.

Yeah...
and if you haven't seen it yet, you MUST. Don't rely on the movie to tell you everything. It's going to be too different.
Anyway, it was better earlier, I don't like Drew Lachey.
But it's still a phenomenal show, go see it!

We can't all come and go by bubble...

You can still definitely get the gist of the show with the full OBCR, and it's one of my favorite cast recordings (probably in my top 3) - there may be parts that are a bit confusing, so seeing it live really makes things make sense. (Duh.) But yeah, I would highly recommend it, at the very least to build up your collection of cast recordings.

Well, of course go see it, lol. And, of course, the movie will not tell you everything. See it on stage if you can (but don't neccessarily run to the Nederlander if you're not in the NYC area... the tour is better, as I too strongly dislike Drew Lachey *grumbles*).

But now we have come almost to the end. One last step. And then, when I take power, they will be pulled down and ground into dirt for what they did to you. And what they did in so contemptuously underestimating me.

Sorry to disagree with everyone but the OBCR of Rent isn't very good. The entire original cast was disappointed by the recording. It just doesn't have the passion and exuberance that the live show with the OBC was. But good news is that Anthony said the Movie Soundtrack really rocks and definitely will stand above the disappointing OBCR.

I don't blame the cast for being disappointed by the recording, and I can understand their reasons for being so. And of course nothing beats seeing the show in person. But I think it's a good thing to have for posterity's sake. (At the very least, own the highlights album - I think those songs stand well on their own, without the interludes, so to speak, which I found to be some of the weaker parts of the OBCR.)

yeah the obcr was a dissapointement to the cast but i still believe it should be owned. Also i am so looking foward to the new recording!

RENT has almost no dialogue, so pretty much the whole show is on the OBCR. you can get a major gist of it by listening to the OBCR.
