How do you guys know that this is really Anthony Rapp. All of the questions that you have asked regarding specifics of the film are either unanswered or have vague responses. for example "are you wearing the scarf" was answered by basically saying "we'll see." I think it would have been decided by now. Anyone could say that they are Anthony, and I don't see how this guy could varify that it is really him.

442namffug, some of us have talked to him at the stage door, or otherwise. It's really him, believe us.

Some of us have met anthony rapp in person at the little shop stage door and such and talked to him about his posting on BWW. He would have looked at us as if we were crazy if it wasn't really him posting.
as to the costuming questions, they haven't started filming yet, so he doesn't know what he's wearing. when he's actually in costume in from of the camera, i'm sure he'll give us some clues as to what he's wearing. until then, his guess is only slightly better than ours.

I realize you get this alot but thanks for the updates and stories. Really great to hear about them and that Peasant feast sounded like a really spectacular experience. It was very nice of you to take the time to share with us.

Anyways, I'm so glad to hear that Halloween and What You Own are still in the film. What You Own is one of my favorite songs on the track. Damn, I was hoping that the MPAA rating system would just ignore the "****s" and give it a PG-13 but oh well.
So I have a couple of questions. Do you suppose that you will ever get to record a track for LSoH? Being the idiot that I am, I missed the tour of the show when it was in LA by like a week. :-/ They've recorded different versions of the same tracks as different companies come and go so I was just wondering if they were going to do the same for LSoH. And I've been hearing some stuff on the thread about a book your writing. Maybe I missed a post since I'm fairly new here but is it like an autobiography or what?
Thanks as always.

PS. I have to say when I saw pictures from Hedwig it took me about three weeks (and I had to ask 5 different people) to figure out that it was you behind all that makeup. My compliments to the makeup artists. Must have been really fun though.

Thanks Anthony for the updates.

A few questions: Do you expect any singles from the soundtrack?

Also, my nine year old asked me while listening to La Vie Boheme, "What is this song about?" Any thoughts?

Sorry for bringing this up again but I have to agree with the majority on the fact that I love the spastic hands.

It really does add to the character. I do that too, I've been known to accidentally smack people in the face while I talk.:-P The only thing I can figure is that since my best friend is deaf, I talk more with my hands then I do with my mouth (sign language) so when I talk to other people I use my hands too.

Hey Everybody-been reading for a while, but didn't have much to say. now I'm curious:
Anthony-do you ever encounter people who don't "get" RENT? if so, how do you deal with them? I mean, usually people are very attached to their work, but in this case the story of Johnathan is so moving and obviously very close to everyone's heart that is involved in the productions that it almost seems above the normal petty comments people make about theatre. How do you deal with people who treat it as just another show, even one that they don't like?
Sorry, if the question sounds a little negative but I am just curious, RENT just seems special and I am wondering how people involved try to communicate that to people who don't feel it. Thanks.

Well I think the "spastic hands" can be a lot of things. I mean in that sense Dream you're used to using sign language to communicate, which makes sense, but I think it can also be expressive or it's used to emphasize a point. I think with acting if you use you're hands you can be more expressive and sometimes it drives those points in quite well sometimes. I think as long as when acting you don't do it half assed then it can actually work(actually that's more of a quote from a Shakespeare teacher I had).
