Angel. He is one amazing man
Maureen's my favorite. To me, she's the most intriguing character...she'd be so much fun to look into as an actress. Too bad no who plays the role does much with it.
ANYway. I think I can relate most to Roger and Mark. I resonate with some aspects of Maureen as well. SOME aspects, people.

Mark. It will always be Mark. I can totally relate to him for some reason.I don't know how to explain it. Like if they were to make a movie of my life, my charcater would be exaclty like Mark.
Mark, Mark, Mark.
I think that part of my love for Mark definitely has to do with the fact that Anthony portrays him so beautifully and with so much emotion. IMO no one does Mark like Anthony. :)

Collins is my favorite character, especially as played by Jesse L. Martin. Being of a different generation, I can't really say I relate to any of them in a profound way. I suppose I'm most like Collins, though, in that I tend to wind up looking after people.
Mark and Roger tie

I agree with BroadwayGirl107, Maureen is my favorite by far. And the only actress who has really captured her soul and spirit is Idina Menzel, IMO.
I also love Joanne, mostly because of the ass kick belting she does during Take Me or Leave Me,
I want to be most like Angel.
Maureen. I think any drama queen would love her :)

jewishboy, I'm curious who else you've seen as Maureen other than Idina. BTW, are you basing your opinion on Idina from the movie or did you see her perform the role onstage? I've seen several other actors who 'captured her soul and spirit' every bit as well as Idina did, and a few did it even better! :) So, who else have you seen?

Mimi, for a lot of reasons.
Mark is my favorite.
I think that I'm a mix of Mark & Joanne.

I can't choose between Angel, Collins, and Benny. They are my faves!
And can I just say that I love the friendship between Roger and Collins. There are little subtle things they say to each other that I think are so funny, I just wish they highlighted more aspects of their friendship although there really is no use to the story line to go that in depth with it.
I think the great thing about RENT is that there are aspects of all the characters that we see in ourselves-even if we dont wear blue patent leather pants, or dress in drag, or are computer geeks, etc. the personalities of all the characters are so different, and complement each other so well, that we relate to the group as a whole because of it. at least, i do.
