OBC RENT 5 - Take Me Or Leave Me

[Jazzzkidd]

Did this RENT concert happen on the broadway set of Cabaret?

[enchantedtomeetyoux]

Why didn't they do an RENT15???

[fulanitdetal]

what do they say before the song starts???

I can't understand them very well...

[ashleighdrummond]

Idina kills this performance! She is awesome but like true Idina style she forgets the words lol

[BumpadaTraffic]

@nyv527 Well, her dad *is* a pajama salesman. XD Love her! -3

[nyv527]

Is Idina performing in her jammies? lol.

[tomboy12f]

idina just dominates every preformance

[DKEjo]

That was fucking amazing. It just blew me away. I think it's definitely one of their best performances.

[newagesoapopera1]

Mm.. Interesting! I love fredi because she originated but I saw Tracie as Joanne first and I still think she's the best and Neil Patrick Harris is good too, but Tracie rocks!

[moresmilesplease]

How have I never seen this!! It's sooo cute=D

[WWEQAF]

Cant beat the original!!!

[Soon2beonbroadway]

Personally, I like the movie version, and I prefer Tracie over Fredi. But Idina...well, what can I say?? She is probably one of the most talented Broadway stars of all time!

[AngelaLorraine96]

@Soon2beonbroadway I toally agree

[Actress4lifee]

i love this song and they're amazing!!!!

[chaceecraw]

Idina is so greeeeeeeeeeat

[Ciinderella86]

The hug at the end is indeed very sweet!!! I love this performance

[Ciinderella86]

I love Idina!

[JustDANCE9506]

fierce!

[LiveAndLoveLife]

Urgh. Rent closed for Guys and Dolls to enter the theatre????? I can't believe they would give up THIS for THAT!

[oprahnoodlemantra]

I think originally they closed Rent for High School Musical to enter. I guess that didn't work out because I haven't heard about it since, but that is worse! LOL

[daisukefan92]

wtf HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL OVER RENT????? INCONCIVABLE!!!!

[TheatreFanatic4eva]

oh shit I hope they didn't close rent for high school musical, but yeah im pretty sure it was guys and dolls... even though it didn't do to well either

[deniserogue]

HSM isn't going to Broadway far as i know. they just closed RENT in 2008, after 12 years. :)

[Selendomono]

good choice i think. who doesnt love guys and dolls?!

[LiveAndLoveLife]

How about me? But I have a bias-- I've been in it too much. It doesn't grow on you.

[Selendomono]

lol

[NieLaNtoiNe]

[IDINAwicked9]

idina is totally awesome in this video and in every other video on here!!

[unabletosoldier]

IDINA! <3333

[MzCharmedFan0214]

Idina looks adorable and Freddi looks great!! love this song..

[redlipstickx3]

If I ever saw the OBC preform, I think I would pass out and die right there. Just thinking about it makes me get excited even though it will never happen.

only in my dreams.

[idinafanatic11]

me too!

[idinakristinwicked]

I LOVE IDINA MENZEL

[HANNAHlovesBROADWAY]

IDINA IS AMAZING!

[Hailo7788]

I'm still not a HUGE fan of Freddi, but Idina...oh my GOD, that woman can sing!!! I love her so much. And I agree, that hug at the end was too cute!

[RentPanda123]

those two have some seriously incredible voices...and I love their hug at the end :)

[clockworkgirl21]

RENT had a good run, I'm not too disappointed. Also, the tour will still be going around.

[c0ll3g3g1rl1o1]

does anyone know what they're saying before they sing?

[idinamenzel411]

Happy new year B

[idinakristinwicked]

there talking about jonathon larson

[MvyMkr]

You now what, Idina is the bestest in the whole wide world :D

[christineadorno]

amen to that

[jaxonosu]

2:13  "who?"

perfect.

[Gabriella189]

what did Idina say after "a snob yet over attentive" and what made her cover her mouth- did she do the things the wrong way round?

[bunnynumerouno]

yea lol she said her line at the wrong time and then realized it after. rock on idina!!!

[RentPanda123]

AAAAH! FREDI AND IDINA! I can't see anyone being better than them. They have chemistry, they have humor, they have absurd amounts of talent, and they have voices that blow the roof off. They're wonderful here, AMAZING!

[heatherahrs]

i want to know what they are saying in the beginning

[aleerox]

i LOVE Idina's little squat thing at 3:25!!

god, Idina is flipping the best!

[LiveAndLoveLife]

I just seem to remember (out of the blue) that they broke up in 2000 for a little while, but then got back together... or perhaps it was in 2001. but either way, wouldn't they have been together or broken up or back together at this point?

[newmoonkid]

there so much more into eachother here than in rent 10

[LiveAndLoveLife]

random question: were taye and idina together at this point?

[lilsis]

@LiveAndLoveLife yes the

[TangoMaureen07]

:) i want to see the obc so badley!

[jennna05]

god, idina is a goddess. what would the world be without her?!?! hahah. so funny to see them so long ago.

[bmax231]

Idina i think is the best maureen ever!!!

[rentwickedandsuch]

fredi is the best joanne by far

[MvyMkr]

I like Tracie Thoms...Her voice is AMAZING!

[McSophsX]

I agreee

[jjjjjjjjj123123123]

I hope there's a RENT 15 so i can go!lol

[MvyMkr]

SAME!

[LiveAndLoveLife]

I know! let's hope they bring back more cast members randomly, like they did w/ Anthony and Adam last summer.

[MvyMkr]

But now its going off Broadway they won't

*CRIES*

[LiveAndLoveLife]

I know! I can't believe it's leaving. Why must they put stuff I don't like, like Legally Blonde, on Broadway, and take something that's actually good, like RENT, away??? WHY????

*SOBS*

[MvyMkr]

Aha! I well wanna see Legally Blonde actually aha! But I wanna see RENT MORE! Went to see the Remixed one in London for the 2nd time the other day and it's better than it was, but nothin' on the original RENT I just KNOW!

I rekon they should take RENT to its original off-broadway theatre, that ould be sooo nice!

[LiveAndLoveLife]

Yes! Someone should suggest that to the producers or whoever would make that happen! It would actually be better seeing it in the theatre that Jonathan Larson has once been in! That would be magical! *sigh*

[MvyMkr]

*sighs with you*

In the words of RENT..."It's nice to dream."

If it does happen...See you there! :P

[LiveAndLoveLife]

lol. you most certainly would! I'd probably go every single day!

[xlilhunni123x]

is it still on in london and where???

[MvyMkr]

No...It was on at the Duke of York's theatre but it went off. The music was shit anyways.

[wickedander]

no it was shut down

[YouCantPullMeDown]

Actually legally blonde is fooking amazing! but do you know rent is being replaced by high school frikkin musical?!?!

[oprahnoodlemantra]

now that is just a travesty

[YouCantPullMeDown]

your telling me.

[LiveAndLoveLife]

Waaaaait... HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL? Isn't that illegal? It's weird, anyway... RENT is worth soooo much more than HSM.

[Wickedisnumba1]

oh god PLEASE tell me that's not true,PLEASE!!!! and I saw LB, and I agree completely, IT ROCKS!!!!!!!!!! My two idols are Idina Menzel and Laura Bell Bundy!

[YouCantPullMeDown]

Ahh mine are Kristin Cheno and Laura Bell! But i do love idina!!

And yeah its joke isnt it. rent with hsm? crime.

[tatyrules12]

NOOOO UR LYING!

Thats a sick cruel thing to do

i cant even stand the sound of hsm, it was on when i came home from dance and i had to sprint upstairs to get away from it

[idinakristinwicked]

uh i know how you feel one of my friends tried to make me watc it but i didnt i got away haha

[tatyrules12]

i bet theirs gunna be a whole bunch of RENTheads protesting on hsm's opening night

i would be there with them too but i live in Fl :(

this is gunna suck its gunna turn broadway into a joke

[idinakristinwicked]

i totally agree with you i would protest to but i live in california so but there taking down all the good shows and who would want HSM as a broadway musical its its an insult to broadway and i say we make a petition to keep HSM off the broadway stage and keep this wonderful musical on

[tatyrules12]

omg! thats an awesome idea! they'll be like millions of signatures!

[idinakristinwicked]

i know id be first

[donfrollo2]

altough I live no where near Browdway yet alone the united states i second your motion HSM is evil actually i'm just going to refer to it as the "unnamable musical!"

I mean the film is bad enough but a stage adaptation??????????? Where did good musical theatre go (Rent/others)

[Tinkerbell7579]

Go Idina!

[Cassix94]

Looks like Idina's in pjs =D

[jennchick1]

haha. it does!

[veronicamae]

i have been waiting *forever* for RENT 5 footage. thank you!
