Rent- The View

[musicx33love]

solos are ALWAYS perfect. they never, ever make any mistakes.

...perfection.

[duckypants1997]

idina is just sitting there looking like a sweet heart

[Jackster31]

Taye too cool for school. The guy's a hoot. His face when Adam talks about Idina's BF, b4 him, is priceless. Tidina are soooooooo cute...

[cameroniswicked]

I love RENT, but this new Off-Broadway version is ruining it!!!

[tatiboo9]

on 18:33 you can hear wilson saying yes

[defygravity141]

taye diggs is rockin in the gryffindor tye :)

[Ane1111]

HAHAHAHA! Everyone at 15.13! Tracie and Resario are like "o, yeh!" and the rest "f**k!!!!!*

LOL

[Ane1111]

When was this??

[Ane1111]

Love the Idina-Taye-Antony moment at 5.50 - 5.56!<3<3

[KyleOgilvie1]

RENT is a masterpiece, nothing can compete with the raw intensity, pure emotion and passion that Jonathan Larson has created. The Movie is the best.

[BlackLilac43]

I LOVE ADAM AND ROSARIO TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!!! AND ADAM IS SO CUTEE!!! :D<333 Just saying (;

[haneenerzz56]

Is it just me that's noticed, or does Jesse always make that same face at 2:56 while singing his line? :)

[LaynieFae]

Tracie did very VERY well on Seasons Of Love. Very impressed. I thought she was awesome anyway, but she really pulled that one off.

[buffypii]

LOL! I love Taye's face when they mention Idina's ex-boyfriend haha!

[broadwaymike92]

Idina was still doing See What I Wanna See at the Public Theater during this promotional appearance on The View. I saw her in that show and she was phenomenal and met her after the show. I then saw and met her again in New Brunswick, NJ on Opening night of her I Stand Tour. During the concert, she went into the audience and right in front of my face, she hugged me.

[moondust99999]

haha idina and taye need more excited clapping :P (big difference between the left and right side haha)

[myrto2011]

thumbs up if u loooove wilson

[katieandkatieshow]

ANTHONYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY­YYYYYYYYYYYYYYY <3

[alika207]

@honeygirl931 Agreed!

[fulanitdetal]

I love how Taye waits for Idina to arrive to sit down at 05:24!

sooo cute

[MsPorsche18]

I love how everybody turns their heads at tha same time when Anthony starts talking.

[fiasc0b0x]

i like how Idina reaches for Tracy's hand ;)

[Ane1111]

What is she saying at 13.08

[heroesfan61194]

@Ane1111 anthony says for the film the white was a little too bright and idina goes against your nice tan skin being sarcastic.

[monica367]

lol is it me or adam's kinda shy :p

[peaceloveandmusic95]

i love traci but I think gwen does the solo so much more amazingly

[camille41292]

its so awesome how when they r saying "love" at 2:22 idina is looking at taye its so cute

[smileahappy]

Thank you very much!

[ekilcoin460]

This cast and musical makes me so happy.

[Ane1111]

What is he saying at 18.27?

[ekilcoin460]

@Ane1111 I-i-i- I enjoy laughin

[dancydancer1019]

so i came back to watch this again and i found something i didnt hear before. when anthony was talking about his scarf and it being white and blue, idina says "against youre nice tan skin." XD thats hilarious!!

[dancydancer1019]

i love tayes gryffindor tye!

does anyone else feel like wilson was seriously left out?

[yaoinowplease]

@dancydancer1019 I AGREE! Wilson deserved WAAAY more interview time! D:

[mabirger]

the black interviewer definetly has a thing for jessie lol that makes me laugh!

[book021296]

When they performed Finale B, it was clear that Adam just COULD NOT stay in tune. In the beginning, and especially on the last note, he kept going off pitch.

But this is still a wonderful video.

[alexxxL16]

Lol Adam is CUTE!! :)

[eightyeightsugarrush]

anthony wins the award for cutest clapping....with wilson close behind

[yaoinowplease]

I love how evident Wilson's voice is in Finale B.

No other path, no other way, no day but today...

Why doesn't he have more close ups?! D:

[yaoinowplease]

Holy crap this is the first time I ever saw Jesse WITHOUT a beanie. XDD ROFLMAAAO.

[carixnumber15]

40 people have no taste. I love rent i've turned many of my friends into rentheads lol.

[IheartNaley]

This show is so amazing, it truly does make you value every day you have. Seasons of Love is my favorite song ever, and this cast just warms my heart with the love you feel from watching them. Thank you Jonathon Larson. <3

[XxpunkrockprincessxX]

Its so sweet how they act like a little family (':

[singswitoutstoppin]

it always makes me smile for hours after seasons of love =)

[symoneraven65]

11:28 to 11:31 lmaoooooo Taye's face

[symoneraven65]

3:28 to 3:36 sing it girl !!

[TechnicolorYear]

"If you do not love this show, there is something terribly wrong with you." Amen XD I love how they're all so funny. Literally, the whole cast is hilarious and awesome!

[BlueJeanBaby012]

"I am not!" Idina is so modest.

[91LisaLou]

'Yeah, she was with other men before you' <3 love them!!!

[broadwaygirl0307]

aww taye and idina look soo in love ♥♥♥ i love them!!!

[Maddyrcat]

The opposite of war isn't peace it's creation

[bialystockandbloom]

meredith is clearly uncomfortable with this segment and completely ignorant to the show. it's kind of making ME uncomfortable. lol

[KristinandIdinagirl]

Thank you for posting this!!! Go RENT!!!

[missydb3]

It was really was worth watching, thank you for posting this ! (:

I just wish they still toured now, all the great things happened before my time /:

[Chey456]

@missydb3 Agreed!

[lou1893]

I love Idina's face when Adam says "I found out about it through her boyfriend at the time"

[dcooklover101]

the guys who plays collins is waisting his life on Law and Order. He is one of the top singers in that cast! Right under Tracie

[angeldelaguarda95]

@dcooklover101 and they are both in a TV Serie about crime mua ha ha ha :P

[WhoGivesAFckImEmo]

yay go angel him nd his bf were mah fav and i cried SO hard wen he died D;

[imamagicllama]

Taye is SOOO funny. Especially his face at 11:28. Adam was a little off pitch :O

[nerdyheathaa123]

jonathan would be proud :]

[heroesfan61194]

god Taye and Idina are so damn cute together

[newagesoapopera1]

It was a little weirdness with the whole question to taye diggs but I don't think it bothers him, he just doesn't know quite what to say! But I love Tracie's voice and her whole performance throughout RENT and Idina of course! Really all of them are needed to make it as great as it is! But how well can Taye sing really?

[ansofieeeable]

@newagesoapopera1 yes, he can sing!

[famosyyo]

I find it funny how Taye answered the question but Idina didn't...

[16kirsy]

does taye lean over to idina and kiss her in the very beginning before Seasons of Love??

[elliegrey]

@16kirsy i think so, it looked like it to me...so cute!!

[kitara251]

@16kirsy I think he does- they are so wonderful together.

[IthastoSparkle]

It's actually a little hard to believe they were singing live...they are so effing Talented I'm in love with them <3

[hiimkatiee]

they should have the movie cast sing We are The World for haiti. That would be such a good performance!

[phantom4evr101]

ADAM!!! sigh =D and Idina such a huge fan of them both! ohh of course the entire cast as well (including tracie and rosario)

[phoenixrock99]

nice reaction by anthony on "we actually have some footage of the original 6"

Huh..... o boy.

[dedirox]

I LOVE the OBC and the movie cast....I agree: if you are the "#1 RentHead" how would you mispronounce Idina Menzel's name? She's like the most famous one out of all of them (from Wicked, etc.)

Anyway, they are so amazing....Thanks for posting it

[jfundora96]

@dedirox EXACTLY! I wanted to slap the girl!

[honeygirl931]

I love this interview! But I feel like they focused so much on the OBC that Rosario and Tracie were kind of excluded for a lot of it. But it was super funny.

The girl who asked about what song to use for an audition mispronounced Idina's name. HOW are you the biggest Rent fan and make that mistake??? lol

[QueenB0912]

LOVE THIS MOVIE!! :D

[jackuletz]

Tracy is so funny!!LOL

[TheOnlyLMV4]

I liked the interview but the ladies of the View often cut them off from talking or the conversation veered off and they didn't get to answer some of the questions...

Still, amazing people, amazing musical. Absolutely wonderful. I hope I can see it on stage sometime soon!

[AdrianMichelleHudgen]

yea i know it's annoying really. I wanted to hear more of Taye's streaking on 'How Stella Got Her Groove Back'

[simpleinthemoon]

tracie CAN so sing!!!

also love jesse's voice

[WaffleTelevision]

Hate the View, but this one actually wasn't trashy! RENT

[phily415]

The most amazing movie I have seen in years!! It has the greatest message and I cherish my lfe everyday! I want to go see it on Broadway!

[wickedrentgirl22]

gosh i love these people.

Anthony: the white was too bright for the camera

Idina: against your nice tan skin

Anthony: you should talk

lol :)

[jassy48]

just saw it last night! Best night of my life, whole cast was absolutely outstanding! BEST MUSICAL EVER! thank you so much RENT for making me believe in life & living it without regret! <3 love you always

[98jpr]

I saw it in Toronto too

[tysin87]

I saw it in Toronto 2 days ago.. Adam and Anthony were amazing! they all were!

[mismatt]

why do ppl always say Tracie cant sing? I LOVE her and i can never find any fault in her voice. even after watching her sing songs like "the dress" (search for that on youtube-you'll love it!) ppl will insist that her voice is enhanced. btw, "the dress will make you cry once you figure out what is is about...

[amyanda]

@mismatt Oh I think her singing is AMAZING. I love her in seasons of love and then in I'll cover you reprise, especially. Powerful. Awsome. I LOVE Tracy.

[stingstungme]

Tracie is AWESOME! Her voice is flawless. I think they just prefer Idina's flirty nature. Both have great voices and I think Tracie doesn't get the recognition that she rightly deserves.

I haven't heard of "the dress" but i'm going to look for it.

[TheatreFanatic4eva]

21:20 oh yeah like that's never been done before O.o

[kibakiss123]

11:26

it's like she predicted Taye's reaction! lol

[peanut251]

wow to think about how many times they had to sing seasons of love...but hey, it's an amazing song. Jonathan Larson was an incredible writer and composer.

[ayooxxxjordan]

<3 2:08

[mileycyrus1fan1234]

I luv the part at 11:00-11:38 and taye's face during it.... MADE MY DAY

[kekedaqueen]

lol..wow i just noticed that..mines too

[mileycyrus1fan1234]

lol, ikr

[Roxie761]

My Favorite Interview Ever!

[lumobachster]

i just loved them all!!!!

[Kazaam1031]

OMG I loved this interview! The Rent cast is awesome.... damn, I love Angel... he is so talented....

[80Perkele]

I don't know how they do it but it always sounds amazing when they sing it live......Taye and Adina are so cute.....!It's soooo amazing that most of them have really have a sucessfull careers.........!

[NicolaOwen]

*Idina

[FaithHopeAmour]

OMG!! Such a great interview!

[EMCdance]

"What's it like seeing your wife kiss another woman?"

TAYE: "Well,....it doesn't...suck..."

LOL XD

[BooomBoxxxx]

taye and adam are smokin hot! tracy is incredible, i didn't know anyone could sing that perfectly live!

[Uktrayf]

Wilson is hot.

[alika207]

This was sooooooooooo good!

[littlelarson20]

I love Rent more than anything else. when i find the person who took it off broadway they'll get a piece of my mind!!! lol luv u rent!!! <3

[Boytoy26]

it was a joint decision. Rent had been on broadway for a long time, and it was time for it to close. just like all the rest of the wonderful musicals out there.

[littlelarson20]

i know but it was just so gooddd tho!!! i'm goin 2 quote some1 "this was the performance that was supposed to run forever"

[Boytoy26]

believe me i kno! I'm just sad that i never got the chance to see it live.

[CityGirl718]

I love Adam Pascal, Rosario Dawson, Jesse L. Martin, Wilson Jermaine Heredia, Anthony Rapp, Taye Diggs, Idina Menzel, and Tracie Thomas.

[Nikanaiko]

When they're all clapping, everyone's half-dancing and getting all groovy except Taye and Idina. They're stiff as boards. XD

[smsinaz88]

love rent the story and music are absoululty amazing. the origanal cast and the casts that have played the charaters since are fanamanal cant spell sorry but i love the movie and brodway.

[DawnFan4ever]

I'm mad Rosario keep touching Taye...dang girl

[tangerie61]

OMG XD I had no idea they were together X_X

[xcgxparawhore]

I love them all :D

[shami88]

i love how Taye waits for Idina to sit first sooo cute

[broadwaysinger123]

hehe, i luvd how taye pecked idina's cheek just before they sang. always showin the love!!

[ZaraShade]

Idina and Taye are so cute together!! <3

[ahall618]

i think in the finale b the reason the boys all of the sudden stop blending well together is beacause wilison has the highest voice in the group so when he sings higher notes he overpowers the rest of the boys

[wickedrentgirl22]

well and its because they have taye and wilson in it too because in the movie they dont sing in that song

[renrocksdaworld]

Finale B, boys need to tone down and blend a bit, but good other than that

[twilightfan6897]

Haha. "I can be a lawyer! Really, I can!" and they were like, "No. Go back to school."

[MisstressFurter]

I love this musical so much! Not only are the CHARACTERS like family but so are the ACTORS involved because they've spent so much time together. I hope I can get into a successful and close-nit play like that!

[The1BionicPigeon]

W-O-W!

[Sarrhi]

Loves it! <3

[teardropsofhope7]

I never realized this but Adam and Idina have such a history together!!!! They grew up together, they were in Rent together, and they just starred oposit each other in Chess- and wow!! lol

[LittleBroadwayKid]

they have dated too

[teardropsofhope7]

really?? Thats hilarious!! how do you know?

[LittleBroadwayKid]

because i read it on one of their wikipedia things haha

[Emelsu1993]

um, I think you read it wrong...it said he had a friend that was dating Idina at the time not that he was dating her.

[deepswimms]

It seems like they directed most of the questions toward Jesse and Idina because they're more widely known.

But I wish I could have heard more from Anthony because I feel like he's the heart of Rent.

Great Video though. Rent is so beautiful!!

[ActingGeek73]

thats partly true but Taye Diggs is equal of a big star as Jesse and Taye is way more famous that Idina. But Rosario is more famous than the whole cast.

[MisstressFurter]

If you want to know about the man - read his autobiography! I got it when Rent came to Oregon on it's "Goodbye Tour" Awesome, by the way. Sixth row. Best thing EVER (aside from Oregon Coraline Premiere) I'm about half way though with the book though - and Anthony has had a ROUGH life!

[deepswimms]

Anthony's book is soooo good. He's an amazing person.

[KristenGroff]

Tracie's voice has really grown since this!

[Nicoleshaan]

Adam and Idina grew up together.

Anthony and Adam always come back to the production and together. I mean there is an obvious friendship there.

Adam and Jesse produced a play together.

It's kind of great to like know they're close even after their original run with RENT.

[bigasista]

this whole thing makes me smile, i had NO idea idina and adam grew up together! that makles sense, they both did aida and hair aswell!!!..haha `yes, she was with men before``

[redsoxgirl1986]

I wonder if they purposely sat the couples in Rent together haha

[TheatreFanatic4eva]

thx omg she called her Eye-dina!! >:(

[dominiclover1239]

I liked Rosario better than as mimi because number one I think that her and Adam have better chemistry... my opinion... and Daphne's voice annoys me. And I feel Rosario played a more sweet innocent Mimi

[TheatreFanatic4eva]

when what time is it at?

[ParamoreFan423]

22:33.... I love you Idina and Tracie!

[NekojinAmako]

I love RENT, it is my favourite musical of all time, and I'm just a HUGE FAN! <3

Everyone did so well in that movie, and I do cry during the subway scene in the song, "Without You." For those who have seen the movie, you'll know what I mean, lol. It brings me to tears. I love this movie, I have it pretty much memorized.

<3

P.S: Those two girls saying THEY'RE the biggest fans? Just because they went as RENT characters, it doesn't prove anything. And they said Idina's name wrong. -_-

[Greypop2]

I absolutely love idina's dress.

[baileyGirl166]

taye is different 2 his charractor benny

[spillontopage13]

Love Idina!

[chaceecraw]

I just love Rent. It's my fav musical ever! Wicked comes second right after it, because I am a huge fanzel lol. I love Freddi Wallker, the original Joanne, but I just prefer Tracie. I think she is kinda sweeter and she's got that something. I don't know how to explain it. And, about Rosario, I like Daphne or even Reneé Goldsberry more. But Rosario is one hell of an actress and she is also a great performer. I like them all, I just prefer Daphne's style. It's just my personal opinion! I♥Rent

[BrittxxRANDOM94]

I still love Tracie.

She was great in the movie and great in the last performance.

That is an exceptionally high note, so it's outstanding that she hit it, even if she had a little trouble with it. (:

Great job to her.

[bobbie406]

love idana and taye i think there both brilliant in wicked i love rent to but wicked is amazing

[mySTEREOFiDELiC]

OH, TAYE!

[femflava1981]

Just gives me chills everytime Tracie is in the spotlight.

[adorablepancreas]

me too! she's so amazing.

[singwithjoy617]

how is this on? its way long.

[estrela1402]

i LOVE THEM ALL!

[checkerboardd]

i love angel shes my fav and same with collens

[jackskellingtonsora]

lol, I love Idina, but she is so corny whenever she talks.

[jackskellingtonsora]

Mark is the best character in the show. That is all. :P

[antggervay]

You know, I have always said that as much as I love the OBC, I think Tracie is the best Joanne ever. But I have always gotten bashed. People would say "Tracie's voice was enhanced like a million times, she can't really sing." Well this is the proof I was looking for. She sounded fantastic.

[myjunk636lavieboheme]

I always get bashed for it too! Tracie is my favorite Joanne and Daphne is not my favorite Mimi (neither is Rosario so...) but I always get so much crap for it! Idk your feelings on Daphne but I'm glad someone agrees with me on the Tracie thing at least!

[mySTEREOFiDELiC]

Tracie was on Broadway, so even if her voice was enhanced in the movie, she still has the ability to do a live performance.

[antggervay]

Yeah, I just recently found out that she played Joanne on the Filmed Live on Broadway DVD. So I don't know how any slightly intelligent person could say that she can't sing live.

[Jess046]

Actually, I think a lot of people like Tracie. The only thing that's really against her is the fact that she didn't 'create' the character. It's more Rosario, who a lot of rentheads are dead against because she's so different to Daphne's Mimi (who they've come to identify as Mimi). I think Traci is better then Fredi, personally. I showed somebody who knew nothing about RENT (so unbiased), the filmed live version and she thought Tracie was the best. So go figure.

[junior011796]

Is idina pregnant in this?

[Blossomstar747]

Um, no, she got pregnant THIS year. This video was posted about 4 years ago.

[phoebe21]

No, this was taped in 2005 or 2006.

[broadwaymike92]

Idina and Taye are going to have a Baby this summer
