I keep hearing that the beginning of Act Two (Seasons of Love) takes place at Angel's funeral, and everything leading up to that point is just a flashback. I just noticed that I didn't see Angel in the chorus line at all (or I just missed it). Still, it's that much more powerful.
@ThisIsJoseSpeaking Angel is in the line as a boy - and it takes place perfectly in line with the script - it's just a slow moment in the middle of all the action...in fact, during the I'll Cover You Reprise, you'll notice that Collins is singing and at one point the spotlight that is over Angel's spot is a teeny bit bright to emphasize the point that he's no longer there - I've seen the show 37 some odd times so i started to notice little nuances like that
@tomt2201 Gwen Stewart, she was the original soloist in 1996 too! i got to meet her when she was in the closing tour production, she's so sweet and down to earth too!!
You guys RENT is back in New York and take my word for it, it's AMAZING. Mr. Larson would be so proud and after all these years it still feels fresh and relevent.
@Platinum400 I'm glad to hear that it's good...the preview videos (I'm assuming) don't do it any justice, the cast just doesn't seem to have the OOF that the original cast did...
when i was in middle school or 7th grade my musical theatre class sang this song with the choir class. this was 3 years ago and i am now 15. i also got to play Romeo after playing a bush cuz apparently the bush was a better actor than the original Romeo.
3 people were so moved by the awesomeness that their hands were shaking and tears were streaming down their face, so they accidentally clicked on the dislike button, and then collapsed from shock at their obvious loyalty to the BEST MUSICAL EVER
@mrjcb91 The womans name is Gwen Stewart and it's just a solo, that she originated in the original production of Rent. In the movie Tracie Thoms who replaced Fredi Walker as Joanne sings the solo so that's why some people are confused but yeah it's Gwen's solo.
@angrypeanut123 it's not... and yes the other one is better... i actually like the movie's version best and 2 of the woman there are here... mimi and joanne
Is this an older version on broadway? Those mics are really weird. Usually they are on their forheads and barely visible and here they are just out there.
Is this the Broadway version? I thought all the actors in the movie were the same as in the musical except like 2. Those people look really unfamiliar to me... :O
Why does everybody have to mention Justin Beiber on EVERY FREAKING VIDEO. If you want him to go away STOP GIVING HIM ATTENTION! good lord.. anyways.. the female soloist on this one was kinda bad.
@beckasha83 Aw I agreed with you until you said that about Gwen. She was awesome and not only did she originate that solo, she helped Jonathan Larson create it.
@crusader0202 hahaha... i was hoping... coz i read somewhere that this was in the line up of songs that was sung in the FAAN event in Los Angeles. Charice was one of the guest performers. As it turned out , Charice sang Halo. Watch the rehearsal/sound check video in youtube - Courtney does Charice : Backstage with the Backbeats

Why is it that the two most-liked comments are about Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus? The two of them have absolutely no relation to this song, so there is absolutely no reason for comparison. These comments showcase why children shouldn't have access to the internet.
@Aeileo this is the original cast...io have the dvd of the full performance and this is it...yupp...but still one hell of a performance....i wish i gotta go see it live...sadness
This song is awesome, and the only way to do it to stand on the apron and sing it, with all your heart. nothing more and nothing less, with only that, its perfect. :D
So fantastically amazing in everyway, you can't find a fault with this song or the entire production. It's so overwhelimg with talent, from score/ lyrics to the voices and singers themselves, it makes you feel up and want to cry. Incredible. I would say it was unstoppable, I expect it will be in the RENTheads hearts. Bring on the Broadway revival and long live the memory of Jonathan Larson, a true genius if I ever saw one. x
