NO WAY! Absolutely not - that would be terrible. That's literally the worst suggestion I've ever heard.

Dont mean to sound rude or nasty - really, but that would never EVER work, and is a terrible thought....

No, I don't think it'd be good at all. Although I'd love to hear the entire score intact, I'd also love to hear how they revamp it however they're going to, it'd be interesting.

I always hate it when theatre snobs will hate a movie adaptation because it's too "different" from the stage version but this is the stupidest siggestion I have ever heard. I think it may have been a joke. Do you actually think they should use the same tracks from 1996 in the film of 2005? Wow.

Wow. What a friendly bunch we have here! I dont think that would be a smart choice but wow with the hostility!

re: rent movie cd

O, I'm sorry! Did my response sound hostile? I didn't mean it that way at all, I'm sorry if it came out that way!

I don't think that would be a good idea.

re: rent movie cd

O ohk.

I for one hope they do stick to Larson's score as close as possible. But then, there will be some changes, it's inevitable, so of course they will have to rerecord the entire score. And the music will probably be reorchestrated as well.

re: rent movie cd

and in addition to any changes in the music, something needs to be done to record the changes in the individual performers' voices. nine years can do a lot to a voice, for the better or not, as the case may be. plus, time isn't really a huge issue, imho.

They made a soundtrack of the Hedwig movie and that had mostly the same cast, and came out to be quite different from the cast recording.

re: rent movie cd

it wouldnt work
#13

re: rent movie cd

yeah..it was a stupid idea. their voices are much different, and there will prolly be new orchestrations. but bronxbound- i was not being a theatre snob- in fact, i don't care for rent that much so i wouldn't caree if they didn't stick with the stage version so closely.

re: rent movie cd

I think they should cut all the garbage in between the main songs and just do the main songs that are on the highlights cd and dialogue and cut Tango Maureen and the Moo thing. I hate those parts.

re: rent movie cd

I love the Moo thing!!

re: rent movie cd

I think that they should make a new soundtrack for the movie, because it will just bring something new to the show. I mean, no one wants to hear the same songs. And believe me, they have plenty of money. $$$
#17

re: rent movie cd

The Moo thing is not a song and I dont know why its even on the sountrack. It is so boring and stupid they should cut it and I think I may sue Rent for putting in the show and boring me so much.
#18

re: rent movie cd

Wow.. the "Moo" thing..... i dont even think I want to comment about how dumb that sounds
Anyway I cant wait to hear Idinas new take on the "moo" thing...
I also cant wait to hear everyone singing their songs again and seeing how they change things around. It'll be interesting. I know Adam has sort of a new soung with glory now and I can't wait till it's recorded again.
