  • Anthony is the best dancer ever! ;)

  • rodney hicks killin it

  • HAHAHA jesse's moves towards idina with his little hip moves =) so cute

  • Anthony and Jesse, you are my heroes.

  • i like rosario

  • @coffeefrenzy74 Rosario's voice was Auto tuned

    

  • @ByronDZero No it wasn't. She's got some great vocals!

  • @ByronDZero but i still like how she played out the character

  • I love this only anthony rapp has the amazing power of spaz dancing this is y we will 4ever love him <3

  • AAAHH I WANT HIM SO BAD HOW COME SHE GETS TO KISS HIM :(

  • Was anyone else watching either Anthony or Jesse's beautiful, spaztic dancing? I love them so much! Haha! :)

  • "let he among us without sin be the first. to. condemn. La Vie Bohemmmmmmmmme"  Amazing XD

    Thank you Jonathan Larson

  • What can I say? Rent is just AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

  • Anthony Rapp dancing... Marky-style. ng'awww, so adorable.

  • @wuemsel I love him as Mark! I thought it was hillarious that he played freaking Charlie Brown after this though.

  • @carlton921 I know, right? He's just the best. Whenever I see/hear other people play Mark it's always kinda like "wait, what're you doing with Mark's scarf, you?!" :)

    And, yeah, I know! I only ever got to hear him as Charlie Brown, but he sounds soooooooo cute. I think I'd just love him in anything.

  • @wuemsel that's not just Marky-style, that's all Anthony Rapp. I saw him live in concert with Adam Pascal, and he is equally spazzy just on his own.

  • Oh, and love Daphne's face at 'older!'

  • Oh, and Anthony says "Sex drive" with a Southern accent!!! Lol, probably not on purpose but it was funny.

  • Looove Anthony's dancing! XD

    Collins spinning around with random girl? Ok, then. :)

    Kiss is 'small,' nyeh??

  • I WANNA KISS ADAM PASCAL TOOOOOO! 

  • @AventuraLuver why can't i thumbs up this a thousand times?

  • there is a reason why larson(the writter of this musical)

    chose daphne himself to cast as mimi.

    just sayiin(:

  • look anthony dance in la vie boheme B XD

  • OH my GEEZ. I'd love to be where Daphne is at 4:41. Except it wouldn't be as tame... I'd be tearin' that ass UP.

  • Okay, cutest couple on past Broadway, I vote on original Roger & Mimi. (:

  • Eww nt a fan of Daphne :/

    Much prefer Adam and Rosario

  • When I saw this, Adam had blond hair, but here, it looks like his hair is brown... but yeah, I wish I could play Mimi so I could kiss Adam.

    I also think that he would make the perfect Fiyero. If he did play Fiyero, I would die happy. And he has the right vocal range for it. So WHY HASN'T HE AUDITIONED FOR WICKED YET??? D:

  • @PatsSuckkXColtsRockk He is just a hair old for Fiyero. Just my opinion.

  • RENT is such an awesome, amazingg musical. I love it. I've seen the broadway clip of Adam and Daphne performing this song on opening night, and they are just adorable together. I especially like the smiles and just the interaction between them. Both have such powerful vioices. =D

  • 1:52 omg! adam was soo cute in that! the way he closed his eyes and placed his cheek against her hair was darling! GOD I LOVE HIM!!!!!

    VIVA LA VIE BOHEME!!!

  • Today during my lunch break I saw Daphne walking in Chelsea (NYC)! Geez, she's gorgeous in person.

    Did anyone else notice that she opens her eyes wider when she says "older" at 1:59, as reference to her joking about her age? I found that hilarious! :D She's the best!

  • lol, yea, I noticed that too...it made me chuckle. :-)

  • I love Adam Pascal. End of story.

  • that person in the audience is so annoying

  • man i love adam pascal anthony rapp and wilson *i cant emember his last name dan! lolz* but yea i love RENT i swear this is the best frigging musical ever high school musical aint got NOTHIN on RENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!4ever!!!!!!­!!!!

  • this might be a dumb question but can anyone explain this scene to me? like why do they pull away then come back together and say @ 2:11-2:18?"now we.,oh no,i know,oh no who knows where, who goes there?" this is one of my favorite songs in the show and my school is doing this play later this year and i'm gunning for the part of mimi!

  • Roger wants to be with Mimi but he's scared and pulls away but she implys that he shouldn't be scared and he belives her and she takes his hands back.

  • That's awesome!

  • I Should Tell You= LOVE!!!! just *sigh...*

  • one more comment...GOD, I LOVE ADAM PASCAL!!! *majorly sighs*

    great. now i'm obsessed with the song 'i should tell u"

  • i LOVE the part where Daphne and Adam start moving backwards and adam is struggling to keep up! lol!

    anyway, i LOVE this, and i hope i catch them on tour.

    oh, and daphne makes a pretty good mimi.

  • Can anyone explain to me what Joanne means when she says 'Yes and by next week I want you to be'?

    Because I thought Joanne and Maureen break up in Take Me or Leave Me? Why does she want Maureen to leave?

  • Because on Stage during the song she sees Maureen flirting with some one else so she gets mad and wants her to leave Yeah they break up alot

  • she sees Mark and Maureen kissing in La Vie Boheme A.

  • Comment removed

  • Originally she kisses Mark, but somewhere along the Broadway trail, they changed it to where she kisses a girl.

  • i loveeee how jesse chases after idina at the beginning of la vie boheme b!! i rofl every single time! it looks like she trips!

  • Idina is amazing as Maureen!

  • lol lets rephrase that Idina IS maureen HAHA EVERYTHING MAUREEN IS IDINA LOL! like elphaba maureen is idinas role :DDD

  • You're so right <3 I love Idina Menzel. I've gotten the chance of seen her live :'(

  • The leather jacket makes him. ;0)

  • Geeze, Jesse is practically molesting Wilson at 3:06 and 2:56! I'm all for being in character, but wow...!

  • well someone tried to tell me it's supposed to be "now we, both know, i know, oh no" except the books for amateur performance have "oh no" twice. but after listening to several versions, stage, amateur, broadway and movie it's:

    "Now we, oh no, i know, oh no".

    it's to do with his reluctance to get into a relationship when both are ill. now we can be together, but we're ill, i don't care.

  • Adam Pascal has a wonderful singing voice. I loved the last verse when the cast said 'Viva la vie boheme.' It was so powerul.

  • "The riot continues-"

    "YEP"

    Someone in the crowd getting hyper.

    THIS IS AMAZING.

  • This performance by the original actress Mimi was not her best, but darn, it was moving. Screw vocals, she knows how to sell the audience. Ten years ago when they debuted and Rosario was in diapers, you would have never imagined.....

  • You know I kinda like Daph's vocals. She's an amazing Mimi. She originated the role, for crying out loud! Rosario is good, but not this good!

  • i liked Mimi better when it was portrayed by Rosario Dawson.. everytime she sings i droll lol ;))

  • It's kind of confusing because their worries are not explicit. They're thinking like: "now we are going to start a relationship, but we don't know how long we will live." It's like their reluctant in commiting to each other knowing that they both got AIDS.

  • ADAM IS SO CUTE AT :50. I can't help but be a fan girl. <3

  • ANGEL!! I love him/her! Maureen is awesome too!

  • The funny walk that Adam and Daphne do at the end of I Should Tell Youis parodying the same thing that Wilson and Jesse do in I'll Cover You. So cute. :P

  • I know; I noticed that too. I think that's why people started giggling when they started doing that.

    -Lynn

  • check out Mark's dance moves! lol, i love him, he's such a loser <3

  • @calliesaiyan Check out collins' moves. bloody hell!!

  • roger sounds amazing, but i like rosario dawson as mimi better

  • agreed but Rosario was like 10 when this opened so...

  • 16 actually but who's counting? ;-)

    but i do agree she's better

  • haha,

    I was just guessing but i was oddly close. Cool ^^

  • what is 'oh no' all about? they keep repeating it but i can never figure out why....

  • Her little exit there made me laugh :)

    I love this version- people who have only watched the movie and now are watching this, you need to remember that Daphne is raw and real- Rosario is a fantastic singer, but Daphne is doing this live- Rosario's lip-syncs to a studio version.

    OMG ANTHONY SAYS SEX DRIVE SO AMAZINGLY GREAT! :D

  • I know. I love Daphne's voice because it's so rough and unique - not crystal clear and perfect like you see these days. I love Rosario too, but Daphne will always be my fave. :D

    -Lynn

  • i dont like her voice now but i saw some vids from opening night on broadway and she was good

  • i like the mimi in the movie better

  • Yup!

  • great chemistry :)

  • They do not blend well at all together in this performance... it makes me upset...

  • i have grown to really love daphene's i mean she sounds more like an addict than rosario. I ove rosarios rendetion though i just think since she was the original you have to love her! Jonathon larson picked her!!!

  • wow daphene is short by adam

  • Both Daphne and Rosario are awesome, and the only reason Daphne solunds scratchy here is because i think she started smoking. She used to sound much better. However, Daphne sounds druggie-like, which is what mimi should sound like.

  • the perfect mimi and roger.

  • Wilson Jermaine Heredia is Beast!! haha

    lol..... 3:29

  • you cant really complane about about daphnes voice because she was handpicked by jonathan larson, also nobody knew they were going to perform the whole show that night they were just told they were going to sing seasons of love

  • Mimi isn't supposed to have a lovely, beautiful, angel-like voice, okay - Mimi was an addict. I feel that Daphne's voice is great for the character. Plus, it's been ten years...things change. I personally don't have a problem with Daphne's voice...in fact I love her voice.

  • Personaly I think that the Mimi in this video sounds whiney and nasally. I like Rosario better.

  • i saw her in Les Miserables and i wanted to plug my ears every time she came on stage

  • Both Daphne and Rosario are great. The end. Just enjoy the show people! ;)

    ~Jennie

  • I love "the small lovely kiss" that Mimi and Rodger share...lol

  • she seems a bit off key sometimes...

  • MAN I LOVE THESE PPL

  • I love Kristen Lee Kelly too! The girl with the first solo, "No way to make a living, masochism, pain, perfection..." She's cool!

  • i love her too!!!! i love her dance!!

  • I think she's dating Wilson.

  • she is terrible...

  • if you din't know that annoying Mimi won a tony for best leading lady in a musical and she was going to be in the movie the only thing is she was pregnat by the time of casting.

    and shes ten time better than rosario!

  • So true. And notice that the character is a junkie. Which Daphne ruba vega (the "annoying") mimi portrays better than rosario.

  • she was nominated, she didn't win.

  • Actually she didn't won the Tony, she was only nominated. She won a Theatre World Award for Rent

  • Anthony's so adorable =D

  • I prefer Daphne! She has such a raw and rock'n roll voice! But Rosario was good, I just prefer Daphne (the ORIGINAL Mimi) more! And I LOVE Anthony! He is sooo cute and he was soooo into it! Viva La Vie Boheme!

  • really cause there was something about her voice that sounded odd to me.

  • Actually its not why is Joanne so fat its why is Movie Joanne so skinny?

    She was there first ;)

  • I like Jesse and Idina dancing in the beginning when they started to sing la vie boheme B.. It was funny.. love this song.. Jonathan Larson is a pure genius.. RIP: Jonathan Larson, an amazing creator...

  • k if u watch this than the i should tell u from the movie- woah. no offense 2 daphne fans, but when they are together they have NO chemistry. him and rosario and wayy better. her voice if a bit annoying...although still pretty good! it seems whiny...whatever. adam is HOT!

  • You need to keep in mind that this was unrehearsed ten years later, and I personally think they did a damn fine job. You really shouldn't rate their acting on this. Now if there was a copy of them from '96...oh wow how I would love that, lol.

  • ig you go to google ant type in RENT OBC you can find the whole show

  • i love adam so much!

    he'll be hott no matter what but i think i like him more with his longer hair like in the movie, than with the short hair

    but he will always be my favorite roger!

  • To the people asking "why Joanne's so fat/big":

    ...because that's the way she looks? I mean, seriously, what kind of question is that? They cast Fredie Walker (which is her name, btw) as Joanne originally because she has a fantastic voice and is a great actress. She portrays Joanne wonderfully, and that's a hell of a lot more important than anything about her appearance.

    (Plus, having met her, I can honestly say she's really pretty - but what do I know, I'm just a lesbian)

  • @Ismenetruth Agreed. She's gorgeous (this is coming from a straight female). Also worth mentioning, RENT is about real people with real problems. Real people aren't twigs (not that there's anything wrong with being skinny, but alot of people aren't).

  • adam pascal adam pascal adam pascal <33333

    rosario is better but daphne is funny

  • i like rosario better. daphne is great too, though rosario definetly sings good with adam. so both are great!

  • ok look daphne is amazing as mimi your all just more used to Rosario cause of the movie and also she sounded different 12 years ago go find the videos of her as mimi in 1996 cause there up here and than you can say whether shes good or not cant you.

  • i love daphne!

    i love the way adams and daphnes voice blendddd.

    it soundsss amazingg.

  • is it just me or does it seem like Rosario and Adam have more chemistry?

  • Wayy more.

  • I'd have to agree that I like Rosario's Mimi better.

  • I don't think she sucks. Actually, I'm warming up to her now that I've read all of thes RENT books and I understand her Mimi better. And she's much better on the soundtrack than she is here - who knows how long she went without singing before this anyway? Don't judge her on just this performance. If you've seen others, than by all means judge her on those, though. I love both of them; I just like Rosario's Mimi better.

  • I know it sounded mean didn't mean for it too i just fell in love with rosario's mimi. she's amazing and this one just doesn't do it for me.

  • Yeah, she was the lead singer in a band. And she can sing, but mainstream has put a picture in everyones head on how all singers should sound

  • they had fun w/ this this awesome

  • i kno whenever i see this i always they really are having fun

  • Adam is a sexy beast! His voice is so beautiful!

  • ....Adam looks a lot different than in the movie...He looked a bit like Sebastian Arcelus in that. Until I heard him sing, I was thinking, "Is that Adam???"

  • the obc is so ahmazing

  • LMAO @ Jesse dancing Idina across the stage. That was priceless.

  • Hahaha. That was my favorite part too. Idina is so amazing. And Jesse always cracks me up. And in my opinion, I would have to agree that I like Rosario better. I'm not a fan of Daphne, but I don't think badly of anyone who is.

  • People don't know the show if they don't like Daphne? Are you an idiot? I have both albums, obviously I've heard both. I think Daphne's voice is crap, it's my opinion. That doesn't make me any less than you. Prick.

  • wow ppl don't nkow the show well if they judge Daphne's singing. This was last year in april for the 10th anniversary of the show. I love Daphne's Mimi, she's the best broadway Mimi. Her voice is raw and rapsy, very rocker whereas Rosario is earthy and smooth, sort of pop. The music in the movie is different from the show. Listen to both version of the albums, then you see the dofference.

  • Agreed, & well put!

  • I think it's only a matter of opinoin. I have seen the show when it was just starting out, and seen the movie and listened to both albums. It's not a matter of whether or not you know the show, just a matter of what you like. Personally, I like Rosario's Mimi better, but that's just me.

  • Daphne isn't bad in any way, but I personally like Rosario's Mimi better. I suppose that you'd have to pick whether you like raw, or smooth. I perfer smooth. Preference doesn't interfer with your knowledge of a show. Take CATS for example. There is a million different productions. I like Jacob Brent as Misto best, but I wouldn't think that someone doesn't know CATS because they liked, say, Wayne Sleep.

    Just because ppl don't like the same things you do, doesn't make them dumber.

  • ive heard of cats never seen it

  • i think it fits her character

  • wen was this done?

    was this like an anniversary thing?

    I loooooove adam pascal.

    and i am the future mimi!!

  • i got a major drooling session when roger shows up..i so love him!

    RENT FOREVER!! =)

  • hes orgasmic

  • ohh cool thankss

  • why aren't they in the usual costumes and they seem never to have costume changes. and also why isnt angel in his drag costumes

  • It's a charity concert.  It wasn't an actual... Production.

  • woow mimi cant sing if her life dependent on it she didnt even harmonies the song that good rosario diid 199 times better at this then her adam of course was a fucking genius at this

    i just never liked dalphene playing meme when i first heard her sing i was like omg i cant belive shes on broadway

  • I have to admit that even though Daphne is the Original Mimi so for that she will forever be credited with the part...I prefer Rosario's...howere Daphne kicks ass in this song

  • I suppose Daphne is the sentimental favorite Mimi. However, not ever having seen her before, I feel no such affection. Consequently, I feel unfettered to say...she can't sing and Rosario is a better Mimi, and from what I've seen of Tamyra, she's better too. Not hatin'...just not on the same page as most others here.

  • WOW! Go Wilson, Daphne, Jesse n Adam U all rule the stage woop woop !!!!!! love yew all xxx

  • VIVA LA VIE BOHEME!!!!!!!!

  • I LOVE RENT :)

  • thank you thank you thank you!!!!

  • anthony rapp is love :P no-one makes mark mark like he does!

  • Um, I love this scence in the movie better, and I like the mimi better...Her voice doesn't really fit with Adam's, but she's still good, I love this song!!

  • OMG. I want to be Daphne so bad. She gets to kiss Adam damn. Why can't I be her.

  • Bahaha Jesse kinda chases Idina across the stage...

    I love Anthony's dancing!!! I'm so excited to see him in Rent!!!

  • thank you for the end finally lol

  • HURRAY FINALLY!!! I love adam, he's such a hottie, i would kill to sing this with him!!! daphne you lucky woman
