Rent tour; "two significant changes to the production" — Page 2

Last time the show came through Chicago it was rush as well. Not Lottery.

---

Boston did rush as well the last time Rent came into town.

I think the change could possibly be Mimi dying at the end of the show.

---

I'm thinking that one of the changes might be Mark's movie. It wouldn't alter the story at all. Maybe they can change it to show more than the random clips of the cast.....just a thought.

There is no way on God's green earth that Rent's audience could be any louder

---

^ HA!

---

Uuuuwwhhh. Ejecto seats, that is worth the ticket price alone. Seeing an entire section of people flying through the air would be great.

---

"Maybe they will actually eject people from the audience who make the show unbearable for everyone else with their screaming and crying? "

Add their singing along and I'm with you. It makes me cringe when I think about how many crazies are going to be attending shows for this tour.

^ that's the best idea anyone has come up with in this thread

Thank you, MrSweetNAwful,

and no, I don't think so. I saw the show in Mexico, and it ended the exact same way. Just because it's an international production means that the plot or major points can be changed; it's the same production, just in a different language (which is really bizzare, by the way, some of the songs were translated horribly).

Another possibility: Maybe they'll project what is being seen through mark's lense as he records on his camera throughout the piece. I always get so caught up in everything, that I forget that he's even making a film until the very end, and I've heard people walk out of the theatre not remembering seeing him record any footage for his film, so I think that that idea which, if well executed, could be a good addition to the show.

Manny2-
I know that just because it's international it doesn't mean MAJOR changes. However, I seem to remember discussion about one or two (Iceland, maybe?) that changed the ending. Hence my question.

I have a feeling it's just gonna be in Mark's movie at the end. They'll probably put in a still of Jonathan at the end or something.

That was my first thought, too. I don't know that it's the best idea any more than it is the most logical idea from the clues given.

If the show ever gets revived, I would love to see a new and different staging and other directorial choices, but this time around, I paid $75 (close to $90 after all the additional charges) per ticket to see the show that I had originally fallen in love with more than ten years ago for one last time. I don't really want to see any significant changes to the direction this time around. This is pretty much the "good bye" tour, so let me say good bye to the show I know and love.
