RENT (1996 OBC Recording) - "Tune Up #1"

[mellojellobonbello]

SO, it's a tradition for me to listen to the whole RENT soundtrack on New Year's Eve.

...I'm doing it @ 11:43 AM because I'm going somewhere tonight, but that's okay. Here goes!

[YOpeepsitsdavid]

are you ready?? Hold that focus steady!! Tell the folks at home, what you're doing Roger!

Such a good opener to Rent, just have to read between the lines

[healthychemical]

I like how Anthony says "hold that focus steady", it sounds so raw and deck.

[fernmouse20]

I love Anthony Rapp. No question that he is the best Mark. Adam Cantor did really well, and if I hadn't seen that this was the 1996 recording, I actually would've thought this was Adam Cantor.

@Nejitard2 What name did they use? Marella? Mary?

[IsThisTourettes]

i don't know why i like this so much! haha

[Hoopermazing]

December 24, 11:25 Eastern Standard Time. As yet, still shooting from script. P.S. Roger is an annoying asshole.

[Liihdeoz]

I'm obsessed with this track! I simply love it! I could hear Anthony's voice over and over again and never get tired!

[AventuraLuver]

Anthony's voice is so hot.

[tonisaparasite]

[SokaRoxMySox]

grrr! I REALLY wish I hadn't been so little when this opened. Totally kicking myself for being borin in 92!

[teamfelton]

[mellojellobonbello]

[jaypawhollypawcatz]

i luvvvv this show

[Nejitard2]

Some of my friends and I are actually doing a genderbent version of RENT. I'm playing a female Mark.

[PessimisticOptimist2]

That's so cool!! My friends and I need to do that...too bad only two of us have seen the movie.

[domellcun]

That's freaking awesome...I've actually thought of that..never knew someone else though of that too..=P

[LaughingViolinist]

hehe, a lot of people think that's a good idea. srsly, i want to be roger cause his tenor parts fit my alto voice XD

[teamfelton]

@Nejitard2 So are me and my friends! That's awesome. Everyone thinks I should play Mark, too. o:

[iamtheicekid]

@teamfelton im benny in the show.

[Zookimer]

@Nejitard2 Thats pretty awesome. I should get something like that together so I can play a female Roger.

[PurpleCowsMakeGJ]

@Nejitard2 That sounds awesome!! :D :]

[hrc071995]

@Nejitard2 WAIT STOP. I'm doing that, too. Except I'm playing a female Roger. How are you and your friends working around Angel? We've been kind of stuck on that.

[RentBeatle]

love thisssssss♥♥

[blakelovesmebest]

what does OBC stand for

[ActingDude17]

Original Broadway Cast

[blakelovesmebest]

thanks that was kinda obviose lol

[staygolddally]

Adam sounds hot when he says are you talking to me?

[ActingDude17]

That's not really a question...

[MCEProd22]

They just released the Brodway version on dvd. So much diffrence between the first and last cast.

[xbroadwaygrl12]

yeah but i think both of them were the two best casts.

[rory1494]

that wasnt the last cast! it was Jonathan Larson's ensemble ..or the backups after Rent went on Broadway...the last cast was..and still is the original cast..with some changes of course

[MCEProd22]

Im surprised Tracie Thoms was on the cast she was in the movie where she looked perfect. But Rosario Dawson was movie exclusive

[rory1494]

yea....she was in both Jonathan Larson's ensemble (by the ensemble i mean the people who did "RENT: Live on broadway") and she was in the movie...that was practically her first time as Joanne

[Davidcox5]

Where can I get that D.V.D?

[MCEProd22]

Original cast or brodway last version

[Gehnesis]

Yah Im wondering if they have the OBC broadway film on DVD. Damn if it exsists I wanna buy it more than anything else! I have the last one (2008 final cast) but nothing beats the OBC sound. Does it exsist?

[rentrapp]

omg. he so does!

[Davidcox5]

Both if I can

[muffinxluver]

i love this song so much!!!

[lululemondancer]

ADAM!!!!!!!!!

[RobertBordenMusic]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

[hiphopqueen]

Where do you get the tune ups and the voice mails?

[soulfulbohemian]

Well, I bought the OBC recording. That's where I got it.

[xvideoobsessedx]

i wish someone would put the live version up... its sooo much better live... so sad that such a wonderful show is ending :(
