Origin of Love, from Hedwig And The Angry Inch - Song Four

[MrHolydoly]

He has an amazin voice !!

[Tamugetsu]

Wow. I am a big Rent fan, and I loved Hedwig and The Angry Inch as soon as I saw it (my iPod is currently playing the cast recording on a loop). So when I looked up Angry Inch, I was shocked and pleased to see Anthony's name. I love JCM too, and my mental image of Hedwig will always have his face, but this really impressed me.

[DACcaptain]

I was lucky enough not only to see Anthony in Hedwig...but I got to meet him after the show..he was the nicest. His portrayal of Hedwig was a nice change from John's...but there is no way to say who was better...apples and oranges. Love you Anthony!

[xTobiix]

I've nevr seen anyone but John Cameron do this song and I wasn't expecting to like this as much as I did but wow. Beautiful

[meggamoo]

I love Anthony Rapp, and I couldn't believe he'd been in Hedwig! :D It's my favourite film, and I love him in Rent, and wow. That's just amazing XD

[crissmyangel31]

did he play Mark in Rent???

[loulouthesweet]

Yes, he did.

In the 1994 workshop and in 1996 in broadway. :)

[jesusfreak34988]

and now in the touring cast and also in the movie in 2006 as well just to clarify

[salmiakfyld]

Better than the original, and the original is amazing :D

[jesusfreak34988]

Anthony does most songs amazing i mean just listen to him sing one of my fav male artists

[HeyMrShesMySister]

He should sing Wicked Little Town!!! I LOVE RAPPSKI! (that's what my friends and I call him) LOL!

[another1shortdaymore]

omygod so amazing.

and how sexy is that guitarist?

holy shit anthony is just amaaaazing!

[bigasista]

omg the guitaris, YES! lol..and anthony really is amazing

[enotdetcelfer]

this song is so fucking powerful.. this guys delivery accomplishes every twist and stomp.

[rogerwhereareyou]

this is such a great song and Anthony sings it beautifully <3

[EmmieB91]

..was he in the movie?

[VegrandisPresul]

He was in the stage performance of Hedwig and the Angry Inch....

[IanDanielsen]

Well done! Not a trivial song, but tremendous execution. Your passion shows, and was so well supported by the work you put into it. Bit of a tightrope act performing Origin of Love w/ one voice and one guitar. But what can you say--it worked worked, and represents a new way to hear that absolutely precious number. Thank you.

[RubyShoesBlues]

he's got an amazing voice!

[xxgroundxxcontrolxx]

i love this version so much

[fr777]

JCM, was up for RENT but he couldn't do it because of Hedwig, idk the part.

[nic1899]

i would die if i got to see Anthony Rapp in anything, expecially in Hedwig in drag... just thinking about it makes me all warm and fuzzy. hes so pretty!

[Redstomp]

How I would have loved to see Anthony as Hedwig..

[EmmieB91]

me too! just saw the movie today, and now that I actually know more about it, I wish I could see him do it. XD

[warholzprodigy]

Oh my god. I love this.

[SilmarilSam]

I saw him do this at a different show ... he's so fantastic! - and easy on the eyes, too ;)

[frenchybri44]

I was there! In the front row!  Wonderful

[SilmarilSam]

like this version better than the 'real' one

[googoobh]

I like this version. the sound recording kind-o-sucks, but still it's a cool cover.

[dajona22]

I love this song.. It's so damn pretty and so is Anthony Rapp's face.. :)

[susieannie]

omg omg omg, i love love love love love anthony rapp singing anything, but i sooo love him singing this!!! i wish i could have seen him actually playing hedwig!!!

[ep44]

he is not hedwig. Hedwig is John Cameron Mitchell

[susieannie]

this man actually can do no wrong, he is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he's an actor, singer, writer, and have you seen him tango in the movie RENT?!?! HE IS GOD!!!!

[Samurhippo]

He did well but Cameron's just got something about him that totally makes the performance so much more engaging.

[toriboy25]

I liked Anthony in Rent..not so much singing this song

[rballettom]

I like Anthony Rapp but I have a feeling I'd have liked this video more if his backup guy had been singing instead of him.

[enthusiasticloud]

holy crap!! i love anthony and all but i can't get over the fact that he is wearing a rilo kiley shirt!! we like the same music!!

[rentheaded2345]

he isn't from the movie

[charger26]

i can't belive this guy is hedwig from the movie. AMAZING

[jelliclecats]

he's not from the movie. that would be John Cameron Mitchell. Anthony played Hedwig on stage though (but he's not the original).

[charger26]

oh cool. thanks = )

[ImitationOfChrist]

OMFG i LOVE this!!!

[musicalsarah99]

this is one of my favorite songs Origin of Love+Anthony=lovex100!

[imnotaboy2]

I LOVE him as Mark, but cameron IS Hedwig.

[yanyan023]

one damn good song

[mahadevi]

Awesome performance! I didn't think I'd like it... then again Anthony Rapp can do no wrong <.<

[ilive4mywork]

Anthony Rapp can do NO wrong, DUH! Love this song, love Anthony, just...love all around. -passes love cookies out to all viewers-

[poptart5eatmee]

he sounded really good, I'm very impressed

[eatmorekale]

i cant get around anyone but cameron being hedwig, he has an intesity that makes hedwig work. Rapp will always be mark from rent to me.

[mayerlunalover]

i love anthony like you couldn't believe and i love this song, too!

thank goodness it's on here!!

[dravenbellatrix]

ahh does anyone have any video of him dressed in the drag?!

[Detaliah]

Anthony Rapp + Hedwig = &hearts;

[WickedWickedGirl]

great video thanks so much for putting it up I love this song and he preformed it beautifully

[AHZ1192]

wow he's amazing. another terrific performance. i dont think there are any recordings. they only did a recording for the broadway show, but thats it. =[ oh well, gotta love anthony rapp <3

[divadawg9234]

OMG!!! I really wish I could have seen Anthony play this role live... if anyone knows where I can get a recording of it (either audio or video) you'd be my hero!!!

[xander2003]

hey its origin of love - hedwig and the angry inch, but thats the original lol x

[melmelh2004]

Kudos on using night vision! I didn't even think of it, and now I wish I had. Great video.
