Rent Rights Out by 2006?

Posted: 7/10/05 at 5:42pm

a local theatre company in san jose, california is going to announce their 2005/2006 season tonight and there is a REALLY WELL KNOWN rumor going around that Rent will be one of their shows...possibly in the spring of 2006. seriously, EVERYONE involved with the company is talking about this so is it possible that it cud be true???

just wondering.

There is a rumor that the rights will be out sometime in 2006. The rumor also indicates a student version will be the one that amature companies can perform. It is also just a rumor so I doubt anyone would announce they are doing it for unless they had the rights FOR SURE.

yah cuz its a children's musical theatre that does shows for 15-20 yearolds then does one show a year for 21+ alumni. so it cud be that student version or the actual one for the 21+

i feel sick just thinking about the future community theater productions. but there would never be a "children's version", ha ha. could be worse, i guess.

No, I'm crying because there will be young girls mooing out their throats, and young adolescent boys throwing out their voice as well...


I'm sorry. For just some reason, I can't picture RENT being done anywhere besides the Nederlander. But of course, in 2006, I'll probably be proved wrong and will be begging to be cast into a production.


OH! Teh_pretty, YOUR avatar reminds me of this "Friends" episode I saw Joanna in. It was exciting!
This is my signature.

I wonder what a student version of RENT would be like. I'm not really excited about it.
I'm not a gay stereotype. I'm a coincidence.

Joanna is my wife. I love that woman!

I also love that episode for Friends! Oh man.

But I agree with the young impressionable voices being thrown out of whack. That's gonna be a hell of a production for a high school or community theatre to pull off...

See at first I was worried about the student version but the I realized that if they effed it up too bad then no one would want to do it and they would have ALOT of angry fans running at them with pitchforks. So I think they will only do it if they can keep the integrity of the show intact.

I really honestly hope the rights will never be released. I think that RENT could never be done well but anyone else but on the broadway stage. I think I might be a bit biased, but. I just hope they arn't to save the sanity of John and everyone else.

Maybe the Yeston version of Phantom? I don't know if there are rights for that though either.

Not Phantom of the Opera. Duh.

And I think Rent could be done on an equity stage that isn't broadway. Just because something is put on a Broadway stage does NOT give it integrity (I am trying with all my might to not cite examples). I am not saying Rent doesn't have integrity. I am saying that it can possibly be done off of a broadway stage. Anything can be done off of a Broadway stage with the right people.
