Wilson will always be the best Angel. He totally fed off the crowd's energy and you could see how energetic he was during the whole performance. So bubbly and powerful. I love him.
@lf1234 This was at the 10-year anniversary concert they held. They reunited all of the original cast for a concert version of the show on its 10th anniversary of being on broadway.
This Angel is absolutely amazing! In the acting and the singing!!!!! He's got a beat for sure!! I was amazed when he jumped onto the table! How did he do that????? And in high heels???? Now that is talent!
@luigind123 Wilson has been asked how he does the jump onto the table. He says he doesn't know, he just does it. If you get to watch the movie version; Wison plays Angel there as well and does the martial arts stunt of the run up the side of wall with push off into a back flip, in the heeled boots for this scene as well as the jump onto the table. Wow says it.
@shak15ti actually he doesn't do the flip off the wall. he said he didn't in an interview about the movie and they brought that up to him. but either way he is still amazing, I played Angel and that jump is very hard. You really have to be fearless to do it. :)
I had a very realistic dream one morning. I was in Rent. lol It was weird. In the dream they forgot to shine the light on Angel to show he's dying so we improv'd his death. lol. Like I said, weird dream. But anyway, I was improv-ing like "Angel? Angel! You okay, honey? " Then I ran into his arms and whispered to him "did they forget to shine the light again?" and he's like "Yeah" so then I shouted "It's over!" Really loud as he fell to his knees. Then we went into the i'll cover you reprise. ha!
OMG, Wilson is just the BEST Angel there is. Sure, I saw Justin Johnson as well when the show came to Portland, but I just kept picturing Wilson down on the stage.
It's funny how everybody's just applauding nonstop so much that Wilson couldn't begin singing so he's stuck in this position for a while. XD Oh, and I want his sparkly lipstick. :D
loooooooooooved it. he will always be the best angle. no one can beat him. ace. he's also good on the film flawless. u shuld watch him in that. u will love him more

I love how he looks a bit embarrassed and you can kinda tell he's like, "Thank you, thank you everyone! ...Can I sing now...?"
lol. I love, love, love Wilson. I agree with someone who said it before, I saw Justin Johnson too, he was awsome, but no one will ever equal (or, dare I say, surpass!) Wilson as Angel.
aww i love how they cheer for him so long. i know there have been many other angels, but i simply just cant imagine anyone playing angel other than wilson. its just perfect
