this isn't the OPENING night, definitely.

because anthony said that on opening night, they did a sit-down performance. they didn't stand up and dance until la vie boheme ;)

still this is awesome, of course :D

[idinasfavefanzel]

Actually, it is. It's the opening night on Broadway, at the Nederlander Theatre. You are thinking of the Off-Broadway opening night..

;)

[MeOhMilo]

you are AWESOME for putting these up. RENT = Life

[defygravity141]

@rogs49 no one has that...that was a memorial performance for jonathan larson the day after his sudden death, only his friends and family were there

[contranimal]

Yes this is opening night on Broadway ... not THEE opening night of the show completely. As many others have mentoned the VERY FIRST performance of the show the cast sat around the tables for almost the entire first act until La Vie Boheme.

Ah lol... Adam forgot 'This won't tune' !!! not a great recording, but it's amazing that you've got it! Love it!

[rogs49]

does anyone have the opening night performance where they sat down at the beginning

[SokaRoxMySox]

I love you. I mean it. RENT takes second seat to Sweeney Todd, Les Mis comes next. However, back to the matter at hand. I always strive to watch the original cast, and you have made that dream a reality. I see now, I know how to watch RENT. Original broadway cast. RENT (that was attempted you'll see)

[allaboutmad]

i also read in an interview with the original cast that anthony was actually the first one to stand up. but yeah the coreography was definitely already in place.

@vampgirl95 New York Theatre Workshop

@Sophieste163 yea, the opening night was the workshop something. not sure what it's called.

[idinasfavefanzel]

Daphne was actually the first one to get up, during Out Tonight.

The first time the entire cast stood up was for La Vie Boheme, where they did the choreography that was already a part of the show..They didn't create it on the spot ;)
