Rent Star Tells Story Of Show’s Preview After Jonathan Larson Died | PEN | People
/ people - บันเทิง
It’s upsetting, almost enraging, that he died the night before what would be the culmination of all his years of hard work. That’s the ultimate curse, to work tirelessly for something and then never get to see its impact in the world.
I’m glad he knew he was meant to change the world, and he was able to. I’m so sad though that he didn’t get to see it through
@@Ms-k1989 I just listened to the honestly haunting recording of him singing One Song Glory and it was like he knew and accepted it. I didn’t see Rent until I was 16 and it’s message falls like a mourning veil and my high school sweetheart at the time told me he was in his kitchen making tea and he didn’t even feel pain. The sort of thing that makes you count your footsteps or your breath. As if his work on this planet was done and he was ok with “come what may.” It’s hard to tell where bitter ends and sweet begins until we make the choice to observe and if only we could know what ripple effect we truly have. I express myself on my channel so whatever sharpens making every second count... I hope it makes any positive experience difference to you as well.
It brought the cast, friends, family comfort to know that he saw the final rehearsal just as it would be performed and he was told (by industry folks) that Rent was a hit… so he knew. It seems like he had always known but it was confirmed the day before.
Still sucks though.
He saw it...
This comment just demolished me.
I was so relieved to hear when he said that Johnathan had been happy. At least he died knowing that he had achieved his dream.
It is eerily prophetic listening to Jonathan sing One Song Glory like he knew and accepted it and this story reminds you to make every second count.
I watched Netflix’s film about Jonathan Larson’s last night and it reminded and awakened something so wonderful about life. What a gift, what a talent we should never forget!!
Yes! Such an eye opener. My favourite movie 💕
i'm a black 71 year old Vietnam vet i heard so much about the dvd(never saw the play) put it in the vcr this dude on a bike singing i'm like oh hell no turned it off. a few months latter home sick nothing to do put it in again. watched it every day for a year still now once or twice a year it changed my attitude about gays, aids, life in general a message of love acceptance. THANK YOU JONATHAN LARSON.
Then Jonathan Larson has achieved his goal ☺️✌️ God bless
God bless you, Stanley.
Love you so much for this ❤️❤️
Thank youuuu for sharing
Tender anecdote, hopefully helpful to others
Love
I think this is one of the best comments I have read on TH-cam
Jonathan Larson's life deserves a bio pic with the behind scenes of the workshop, rehearsals of RENT before The Show's Preview
Tick Tick Boom is pretty much an autobiographical musical by Jonathan Larson and Lin-Manuel Miranda is set to direct a film adaptation of it for Netflix!
With Josh O'Connor playing Larson.
Yes!
@@merlinmediagroup actually Andrew Garfield is playing Jonathan Larson
@@omarcogle1965Your point is? I simply suggested O'Connor would be a good fit.
‘what is a legacy? it’s planting seeds in a garden you never get to see. I wrote some notes at the beginning of a song someone will sing for me.’ This line from Hamilton always reminds me of Jonathan and his impact he left upon the world. Without him, we’d never have so many other beautiful musicals, people’s stories would never be told. Jonathan Larson never got to see what impact he had on this world. But we all feel it.
"America you great unfinished symphony you sent for me" I loveee this song! And you're right the words perfectly capture what Jonathan did for musical theatre. Heart breaking
Knowing Larson was a great inspiration to Lin means without him "There is no beat, no melody"
"I ask myself, “What would you do if you had more time", the lord in his kindness he gives me what you always wanted, he gives me more time" I think about Larson with that phrase
Rent is life changing. I'm so grateful we get to know this story.
Thank you Jonathan Larson
This musical literally changed my life at a point when I didn't feel seen. Rent showed people my age living and loving. Jonathan Larsen gave my emotions words. Thank you eternally.
Just saw tick tick boom and omg what a legacy he left behind I’m already recommending it to all my friends it’s gonna be such a beautiful moment when it finally releases to everyone
I went to college in Brooklyn with Wilson. All I remember is his sweetness ans smile. XO Wilson. Proud of you!
Thank you, Jonathan Larson for the best musical to ever be featured on Broadway.
I would like to point out that this video has no dislikes. I love Rent and clearly other people do as well
Look what you did! Lol. Some asswipe disliked it just to be "funny".
As of 29Nov2021, 11 stupid people disliked it.
@@ytminis nobody can dislike it
RIP Jonathan Larson (February 4, 1960 - January 25, 1996), aged 35
You will be remembered as a legend.
honestly one of my favourite interviews ever i am so emotional
A show with today's youths struggle that needs to come back.
Dear Evan Hansen
It's just entertainment.
@@theultimatereductionist7592 it’s more then that
no it does not. By now, if it does come back, it should be heavily updated as this show yes was important for LGBTQ+ etc back in the day, but right now, it wouldn't work at all
When I visited NYC for the first time in 2010, one of the stops that i just HAD to go to was the real Life Cafe where jonathan had written a lot of Rent. The renthead wall was this shelf with 20 or 30 binders on it, all of them full of notes and tributes from the Rentheads who had come before me. I got to leave my mark, and I'm glad I did because it's not there anymore. It's gone. Jonathan Larson is one of my heroes and I will never be able to thank him enough for the character of Angel. Rent helped me discover who I was as a transgender man, and I owe so much to it.
The life cafe is gone!?!?!
@@jordoncarnegie1206 very sadly, yes. it's been closed for a while. it was such a wonderful restaurant too. best veggie burger i've ever had.
@@ClassicDepravities that makes me so sad :( :( 😞
@@ClassicDepravities You got to leave your…. MARK-! MARK-! I'M MARK!
Was it gone due to COVID struggles, or before that? That’s so sad 🥺
I came across this video today. It brought a tear to my eyes and a smile on my face. I started reading Anthony Rapp’s book yesterday. I would have loved to see RENT on Broadway with the OBC! The show has always been in my heart and always will be!!!
Thank you Jonathan Larson for making rent such a good musical rip Jonathan Larson end angel from Rent thank you rent for changing my life I really appreciate the music and the acting so keep doing what you're doing
Thank you so much for sharing your memories of a Very special time with a most beloved writer
Wilson’s voice is so beautiful ❤️ this musical allowed me to come to terms with my sexuality, so really thank you Jonathan
It’s not just sexuality that isn’t controlled, it’s the energy of purity. My high school sweetheart who introduced me to this movie wouldn’t tell me she was struggling with her sexuality and I blamed myself until I found out through friends that time was just too precious to risk making me unhappy and she learned that from this. Nowadays I have forgiven and try to make every second of every expressive video on my channel count. I hope my energy makes a similar difference for you, friend.
having watched tick tick boom too many times to count because i am amazed by andrew garfield’s portrayal of jon. seeing videos of jonathan on youtube, they casted andrew so well, from his mannerisms to just his movement in general. my heart goes out to julie larson, since she is the last standing larson, she is an amazing woman who even helped with the film. rip jonathan larson, you are a legend for ever.
Who's here after Tick Tick...Boom?! RIP Jonathan Larson.
I’ve never heard of Jonathan Larson until a few weeks ago. I’ve never seen Rent. I watched Tick Tick Boom because Andrew Garfield is in it… Now it’s 3 am and I’m in a deep Jonathan hole on TH-cam and crying to all of these stories 😭
SAMEEEEEEE. Im sobbing 😭😭😭
Same!
Same! Now that I know this whole story of Jonathan too, it’s very devastating. Jonathan Larson made an impact on the world today! He also made an impact on my love for musical theater! You will NEVER be forgotten Jonathan Larson!! Thank you for everything you did!
He was a gift to the world that we didn’t know we needed until this movie! Grateful for LMM and AG for breathing life into his story
*_thank you jonathan larson_*
I've heard of rent on Broadway way back in 96 and in middle school my choir class sang season of love and loved it ever since and bought the dvd version memorized every line and learn lines in french
What a beautiful story!
Holy shit! This is Angel?! He’s..... he’s.... still hot!
So grateful for the story of Rent and all the people who brought it to life.
I love Wilson so much x
i really hope that one day there is footage released from this show
Jonathan Larson was an angel walking amongst us.
Wilson is a beautiful spirit just like Angel, so happy he got a Tony for his amazing performance!❤️💃🏽
Thank you Wilson !
Tears so many tears
ok im crying go away wilson i love you
Thank you for sharing this, and thank you Jonathan Larson.
Crying again
@@Ms-k1989 (Huggles and snuggles)
rent will forever go on as his greatest legacy… jonathon we thank you for all your hard work and everything you’ve done, may you rest in peace 🤍
I didn't even know Jonathan Larson but I still mourn him like a best friend who I knew for years
♡ Bless you!
He got even more handsome
Thank you Jonathan Larson
I love rent so much it’s my favorite musical thank you Jonathan Larson
Talk about unfair! I just pray that he was able to see how loved and respected his story was and still is! It’s beautiful and sad and heartbreaking and I hope he was able to take comfort in the way the whole show came out!!RIP Jonathan !
Beautiful!!!
I’m just watching this because I am in a production of RENT, School edition and inside of the script there is a page about Jonathan and his passing.
I love him.
i just finished watching the movie and imediately went lookin for jonathan's videos. thanks andrew for introducing me to this amazing man and oh my god i'm fucking crying my eyes out. he should not be dead.
RENT 4ever!!!
I can't believe that Johnathan Larson never got to see his baby grow. YOU'RE A LEGEND JONATHAN X
Happy birthday Jonathan!
I Love Rent
Johnathan and I shared the same birthday
Sad to think- year later he would have been the toast of Broadway.
He planted seeds in a garden he never got to see 😔
He was in the original rent?? But he was only 12?!?
Is it only me who saw Idina Menzel in the original cast ?
Angel is daddy
I-
;) 💓
LOOK - I find some OF WHAT YOU POST..SUSPECT
BECAUSE I'M USED TO MAKING JOKES TO DEFLECT
BUT I TRY TO OPEN UP TO WHAT I DON'T KNOW
BC REASON SAYS I SHOULD HAVE BUYED (♡) THIS X3 YEARS AGOOOOoooOooo
Is he really gay?
Does it matter?
@@smallvoices9564 if they’re crushing on him and wanting to know if they have a shot, that’s important info
can he or can't he be the queen to out moats
No he is not gay
@@gleegirl23431 Though ironically, Anthony Rapp (who plays Mark) is.
Let's see "Rent" talk about bombing all the prisons in the USA & the world to free all prisoners Let's see "Rent" talk about ending the forced breeding & holocaust of factory farming.
Let's see "Rent" talk about free speech pornography.
Let's see "Rent" talk about war strategy between nations & within nations.
When "Rent" or any other stupid musical does that, then you can claim it "talks about anything: nothing is off limits". Until then, it's just entertainment.
Stop deluding yourself into thinking entertainment is anything more than that or does anything more than that.
Rent was very controversial when it opened on Broadway because it gave a human face to taboo subjects people didn't want to talk about like AIDS, drugs, homosexuality, Homelessness, etc. Things that real people faced and could relate to. 20 years later they are now able to perform Rent on National Network TV and actually talk about these subjects without the stigma. Rent has done a lot more to help society more than you have Im sure.
Um... is this supposed to be a joke? Like, legit. I don’t think thoughts like this can be serious
try to do a play that talks about everything that you just said but you have to do it in a way that makes sense
can you please just let rent be what it has to be and help people that actually relate to it?
also, entertainment is the only form of education that enters some people's mind, so yes, when something that talks about an important subject for society gets attention, it is more than entertainment
Lol troll comment
Thank You Jonathan Larson
JONATHAN LARSON! I KNOW YOUR NAME AND I WILL HONOR YOU.
Thank you Jonathan Larson
