I've only seen Cary Shields and Adam Pascal so I'm going to have to say Adam Pascal.

I will probably get flamed for this, but I liked Manley Pope.....

Adam had real passion and a great vocal when i saw him in it when it 1st opened.

I also thought Luke Evans from Rent Remixed was fantastic, his performance was heartbreaking, and powerful, wish we could have seen him in the real Rent

I've seen 7 Rogers and Adam Pascal was my favorite. Second place goes to Jeremy Kushnier.

My vote is also for Norbert. He was so tiny then!

Adam, and then Will Chase. Before Adam came back, I only once had I seen the same Roger twice, but since I will definitely be seeing the show again before it closes, I'm thrilled that Will is back.

Christian Mena was the best Roger vocally , by far, that I have ever seen!

Sorry -- judging by the heading on this thread, I thought the topic was:

What was your favorite Roger's thoughts on RENT?

You need to correct it to: Favorite Roger in RENT

... I'm just sayin'.

Its hard to pick I really liked all the Roger's I have seen...but my favorite's in order would have to be Adam Pascal, Declan Bennet, Tim Howar, and Kyle Post...They were all very good in the role of Roger...Though some did over play the character like Tim Howar did but it was a different take on Roger and I liked that. Declan was also very good, I didn't mind his accent slipping in and out but the people i went with did..lol

[Drunk Chita Rivera]

I'll make a list

Tim Howar is the best person ever!
Declan and Adam
Luther Creek
Kyle Post sucked.

[Platypus]

Posted: 5/8/08 at 4:02pm

1. Adam Pascal
2. Tim Howar / Cary Shields
3. Heinz Winckler / Declan Bennett
4. Luther Creek

Also saw Bryce Ryness but he doesn't deserve to be anywhere near the list with those other guys.

I took a 7-year break from RENT after seeing Luther and Cary, so it may not be a fair comparison...

EDIT: I changed my list cause I totally forgot about Heinz Winckler. Which is weird cause he was the most recent Roger that I saw and I did enjoy him.

That is like asking which is my favorite child. It can't be done. It just CAN'T.

[broadwayrob]

Posted: 5/8/08 at 4:05pm

i second the pascal/kushnier sentiment

saw both.

adam in 1997. and jeremy.. in.. um. 2004 i think

regardless both brought something amazing to that role that i can't describe.

I've seen quite a lot of Rogers over the years but my favorites are Cary Shields and Jeremy Kushnier for sure. I have a couple others that I love quite a bit, but those are my top pick.

[BrianIdol]

TIM HOWAR - hands down. Guy could have won a TONY if he had originated the role.

I've only seen Adam Pascal so I guess I will say him...lol.
I did see Heinz Winkler on the tour and he was good also.
