I always liked the soundtrack and movie of Rent, but never REALLY knew the history of it and jonathan larson etc. I starting OBSESSING over it around the beginning of february 2010. It ended its Broadway tour two weeks after I started revolving my life around the soundtrack, and the live on broadway dvd of it.... fml. i wanna see it live SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BAD!!!!!!!!! worst timing ever! :( i spend all my time watching youtube videos of rent....... at 3 AM. nice.
@mloreta828 where are you from? Just because the broadway show is over dont mean RENT is over..I have seen it 4 times after i seen the broadway tour!! Look into your local theatres if you need any help i would be glad to!! Im sure you will see it live somewhere its in NC in August and In Colorado this summer..just check around your local theatres or if you want me to help just tell me where you live : )

By the way, I love the female soloist's last solo. I think it's better than a lot of other versions I've heard just becuase she sustians the C longer, which sounds really nice.
Damn that lady put me to shame....I had to hit that note to but she does it wayyyyyyy better than me...but hey...i still am a teenager so maybe one day ill be able to do it like her!!!
No, Matt was on the Benny tour, the second tour. After that came the Collins tour, and for some reason they stopped going down the alphabet with names, so it has been the Collins tour for the past 4 tours. (This is the 2nd generation Collins tour, the best of all 4 aside from the current cast)
lilchoey00 if ur talking about Jaime Lee Kirchner then yes thats her she was in the 2003 tour as mimi and right now shes on broadway in RENT playing mimi till march 4th.
Her name is Jeannette Bayardelle and she (along with the current tour soloist Mimi Jimenez) is the best soloist in the history of RENT. She is UNREAL live. She is also currently starring in "The Color Purple" on Broadway.
Well of course the SHOW is on Broadway you idiot. I was talking about this video. This video is from the Touring production a couple years back, NOT the Broadway production. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about.
AWESOME!!!!!
