Rent tour; "two significant changes to the production" — Page 4

Ssh. This thread gives the kids some essential winter break exercises in creativity and critical thinking.

i personally, have seriously high hopes for these changes. I think this could be really really great, although I have no better guesses than you guys do as to what the changes may be. However, I think that if the director made the changes himself it can't be too big a deal, so probably no lyric changes or moving songs. Most likely just some blocking, and i personally would love if they did the finale the way they did in the alternate movie ending.

And also, I believe that if Anthony is happy about the changes that is definitely a good thing. I can't wait to see this tour in DC in May. (and am very bummed that it leaves the night i come back from school, so I'll only be able to see it once.)

The most moving thing ever was in the Swedish production (A crap production unfortunately)....In "Goodbye Love" , if I remember correctly, Angel is seen stripping off all his makeup. Going from the glamorous and beautiful Angel, to the naked and dying Angel. Absolutely gorgeously staged (hmmm, I can write better than that...what a bad sentence) and incredibly moving!
^that sounds beautiful.
And Mimi WILL.NOT.DIE.
It would completely destroy Larson's original concept, and they would not let that happen, especially with original cast members and production members on board.
I like the idea of a still of Larson at the end but I find it highly unlikely as he isn't a character in the show, he did not die of AIDS, and other than RENThead crazies and theatre buffs, nobody will know who he was.

I think it opens today or tomorrow, so never fear. All questions will soon be answered.

Although it's doubtful that these 'big changes' will include Mimi dying, those of you who are protesting that possibility so strongly should know that that did, indeed, happen in a couple of the international productions of the show through the years. It's not as impossible a suggestion as some are making it out to be.

PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE

Just chill out, people...

LOL Maybe the cast will put out! in the video justin Johnston said "The more you scream and participate the more we put out!" Maybe everyone in the cast will put out? XD

That would be a change that woulden't effect the show but it would be a change.


Maybe the tour has more items for people to purchase?

Maybe during christmas bells the vendors will sell some new items?

Maybe the cast is going to throw stuff at the audience? Or make it snow on us during Christmas bell?

I'm seeing the show feb 6th at 2 so I'll be there screaming like an idiot.

I'll be one of those people you all hate LOL.

Have some respect. You don't scream in a theatre EVER! If it was Patti LuPone playing Mimi, she would threaten your very life in the middle of Out Tonight!

If you are going on Feb. 3rd (when I am), please don't scream. I may have to punch you in the face.

Yeah gonna go on the 6th. Don't care what anyone says I'm screaming. Punch me and I may have tp punch you back.

Patti is not Mimi and you put a terrible mental image in my head.

Now I think I will go on the 3rd just to scream for you.

^ That is where the ejecto seats would come in handy. Do you care about anyone else trying to enjoy the show? Get the DVD & scream at home.

No, it's only about proving how much YOU care to everyone around you. Guess what. They're not interested in you whoring your investment.
