sometimes i wonder if johnathan had lived to see his show come to life how he would have felt, or if it wouldn't be as big as it was... but then you see the faces of the performers and can't imagine life without rent, it is one of the best ways to celebrate life and it has changed mine for the better. So i thank you Johnathan Larson for being the genius you were and creating the most moving piece of art i have ever seen
8:12. OH, IF ONLY EDEN HAD BEEN THERE! SHE MISSED IT! xD kidding, kidding. I wanted to hug Adam here. I literally was like "AWWW, ADAM, OH GOSH, DON'T CRY, DOOOON'T!" the first time I watched this. ;_;
when people say 'i got the chills listening to that!' or 'i got goosbumbs from that performance!' yeah well, thats never ever happened to me. sure, i think a certain performance may be good, but shivers? nahh. but at 4:03 i literally had shivers all over my body. wow! i cant believe i missed this. truly captivating(:
eventhough RENT may not be on broadway (at the moment) , it will continued to be played at other theatres and hopefully the other actors playing these characters will share the same emotion that these actors did.
Rent started its Broadway run on January 25, 1996, 2 weeks after I was born. I am now 14 and Rent is by far my favorite musical ever. Jonathan Larson's message is so powerful and i hope they bring it back in the near future.
@angel3422 I was only born a month after Rent started on Broadway and I hope the exact same thing .. I never got to see it performed live on broadway :(
i gew up with rent it opened on my birthday....and i saw the rent movie preview but couldnt watch it because i was too young.....i really expect a revival in the next 20 or 30 years...you never know
This was so incredible touching. I bawled for the entire last section. I am in a local production of RENT in October. And this is going to add such a depth to my character than before I watched this. Thank you so much.
it's ok guys...rent will be back...the first broadway run has come and gone but there's little doubting that it will return...the suits wanna make $, the show didn't end because of poor sales but most importantly it's one of the most beautiful, emotionally powerful and important shows in broadway history...given all those things, how could it not be back?
I saw the show when I was younger and just thought nothing of the message and as I got older I began to see and understand the message the show brings out and it has now touched my life in a way no other show has. I LOVE RENT
i can't put into words how much this play has changed my life and the very way I see the world. The broadway show's over but the message will go on :). RIP Jonathan Larson
That girl sitting on the floor crying after the show is over (and yes, notiachaos, it is over for good on Broadway- the only Maureens we'll see after this will be in high school or community theatre productions)...that girl is me. I mean, she isn't actually ME, but she is what I feel when I watch this. So powerful...
My question is what do they mean by over? Is the show over FOREVER or just for a few years? Or is it just over on Broadway? I hope it's going to come back one day...Maureen is my dream role!
when I watched this on on Demand, I cried during the performance and during this. I love this musical and I can't believe its over with now. Thank you Jonathan Larson
Im 15 and RENT has sparked a drive in me that nothing has before Iv only ben a fan of RENt for a few months but niw Its such a huge part of me I wonder how in the hell I could have lived without it
This is so sad for me, because I was in the 15th row, I think on the 6th to last show. I cried so hard. It better come back on broadway, there's no other show that touches you so much, because it's all true. "There's only us, There's only this Forget regret, Or life is yours to miss." If I had the choice to see this again, heck yes I would!!!
this show will never die, now that the performing rights have been released... oh my goodness I am ever thankful that i will be a part of such a wonderful show.
omg so amazing you can just feel the happiness and friendship hat everyone there feels. i feel kinda sad for crying at it. Does anyone know a way that a 14 year old could get into the west end because this is my dream and i would love to be given a chance
work bloody hard like the rest of us who are trying to get there and reach the heights like these people, if you wanna get there then in the next 6 years train and work hard and you will get there
and i do agree its sad and im crying at it to be honest but at the same time its all so happy that it just makes me smile i just love this show with a passion =) x
So sad so compelling so moving....soo powerful! My God! Such a blessing. GOD I LOVE RENT! (thank goodness for the touring company i suppose)...Thank you Jonathan Larson! Here's looking forward to a possible revival of it on Broadway in the (hopefully near) FUTURE! 25th Anniversary? maybe?
