Ah right...Well HOPEFULLY the touring one will carry on for a few years??? I'm not ready for it to be totally gone! I just feel really upset that I may never get to see it onstage, I only got to see the remixed version :( I think it should go back to the off-broadway theatre it started in...For a year or 2, finish of the 15 years it deserves in its original home!!!
why are you guys all bashing this cast?!?! they are pretty good and stop comparing them to the original cast because its just annoying...they give there own personallity to their charecter and stop saying they suck because you know that they are better then you would be doing this so give them a break!
Guys calm your balls. On Broadway, the cast is constantly changing. This is a group who was on Broadway at one point...but there are a few OBC members left in that group. The poster of this video is right to call them the cast because they were.
u kno the part at 0:56 when benny sings: draw a line in the sand and then make a stand, he is supposed to go: use your camera to spar, then use your guitar
Well Wilson Heredia is in this! I'm sorry, it isn't as bad as ya'lls think. I've seen RENT many times, and come on, how can you compare to the OBC. This isn't bad folks. Besides it's outside!
Despite what people are saying, they're *not* bad. There's probably a bias toward the original cast or whatever, but these guys are being recorded live. It's always going to sound weird. They don't have the acoustics of a stage, and maybe someone wasn't feeling their best--it happens. o_o; Don't go calling them crap for that. How many of *you guys* are up there performing live on television, anyway?
As you guys should RENT is an extremely hard production to pull off, I'm sure they tried but no hard enough. I'm sure if they continue they will be better, I Hope so anyway. :/ It never sounds right unless it's sung by Adam Pascal
You people disgust me, productions get NEW CAST MEMBERS as they go on. It's not going to stay the movie cast for ever or the origonals. I hate when people compare proformances, just judge what you see, you don't need another proformance to back up your opinion.
honestly, this was a bad performance, but i definitely see the potential, and i'm sure they did good in the actual performances. they are on BROADWAY so i think calling them horrible is a little bit exaggerated. although it is pretty hilarious when the roger forget his line at 3:00 and literally cant stop laughing...
nooo not the original cast at all mark and roger are definitly different, not Adam and Anthony Joanne's different ok everyone's different... haha what's up with mark and roger jumping around in the beginning? haha no "use your camera to spar" line from Roger :)
I may get chewed out for this, but I don't think that this cast was /too/ horrible. I liked the Joanne, and the Mark was okay.. But yeah. The Roger was pretty horrible. The actor tried to make him far more rough and bad ass then Roger was. Overall, not my favorite, but it wasn't the worst I've seen. OBC = Best
If I saw these guys on Broadway, I'd ask for my money back. Joanna sounds much to much like Maureen, Benny is flat, and the video itself was taped over something about quads.
This is an interesting cast, but I really didn't like Roger that much. Overall, not a bad performance (I love the Today Show) but I'm not used to this cast so it's a new experience.
i love to watch other broadway casts (: its interesting to watch :D
I love how they get at smiley when they miss a line :)

haha...i totally thought i just imagined that!
OMG!!! The original!!! I would like to see trhis one day I own the OBC soundtrack...
with you all the way
UGH my absolute fave is the OBC no one can top them (coming in second on my list would definitely be the 2008 cast)
why are you guys all bashing this cast?!?! they are pretty good and stop comparing them to the original cast because its just annoying...they give there own personallity to their charecter and stop saying they suck because you know that they are better then you would be doing this so give them a break!
It is him...he came back to the hsow in 99
Guys calm your balls. On Broadway, the cast is constantly changing. This is a group who was on Broadway at one point...but there are a few OBC members left in that group. The poster of this video is right to call them the cast because they were.
Awh man! Yeh I heard that so I'll never get to see it!
Is there a touring one in America?
my god there singing hurts my ears they are no way shape or form as good as the original cast of rent
It's the hair. In the movie it's long, and he had more of that rock sound in his voice.
I thought they had the same cast for the whole broadway show for 10 years
Ahahahaha that made me LAAAAAAAAAAUGH!
I agree....and their voices sound so weird...i just saw them life, with Pascal and Rapp...they were awesome...
Yeah its touring here (not with the cast above thank God)I'm seeing the touring cast March 12.
u kno the part at 0:56 when benny sings: draw a line in the sand and then make a stand, he is supposed to go: use your camera to spar, then use your guitar
oh my I cant believe the today show had them on! this is sad
GG, Roger.. GG. *Shakes head*
I agreed wif teh comments below this one.!
Most of the movie cast is actually the original cast
what the fuck
i think i need to go watch the movie to get this out of my mind *shudder*
O my god. Roger is a Ken doll. **gags**
omg i know exactly what you mean!!
A young Stevie Wonder in a brilliant cameo as Collin.
RE: Adam Kantor, I agree. x10!
OUCH!
Roger forgot a line...who was smirking the whole way through after that haha
grrrrrrr i love the original...
yea, this isn't the original cast from the broadway version
Oh, and I must add that I liked Joanne and Mark.
Well Wilson Heredia is in this!
I'm sorry, it isn't as bad as ya'lls think. I've seen RENT many times, and come on, how can you compare to the OBC. This isn't bad folks. Besides it's outside!
OMG!
what did they do to rent?
johan is prepy!
collens looks like he just same back from the died (and he sings like it too)
OMG!
I wonder who plays Roger in this, because he looks exactly like the Roger at the Cadillac Palace in Chicago...
LoL... That's the same Angel who originated the part... Wilson Jermaine Heredia ;) He was OBC.. lol
I'm curious. Where does every Adam get the exact same shirt?
Use your camera to spar! I think they were laughing about the missed line near the end
not adam. Well, yes Adam the actor, but I meant Mark the character. My mind slipped. And my fingers.
what year was this?
ok I found out Wilson left in '97
It's the original Mark....

wilson isn't here, the whole original cast was gone by this time...
lmaoo yaa i like the originall
roger forgot a line at 2:59, that's why they were laughing
I think that's why they were cracking up a bit when they moved on.
read the rest of the comments
we have established they arent they same peps
at least he has the mark arms
As you guys should RENT is an extremely hard production to pull off, I'm sure they tried but no hard enough.
I'm sure if they continue they will be better, I Hope so anyway. :/
It never sounds right unless it's sung by Adam Pascal
You people disgust me, productions get NEW CAST MEMBERS as they go on. It's not going to stay the movie cast for ever or the origonals. I hate when people compare proformances, just judge what you see, you don't need another proformance to back up your opinion.
this is ok, but i prefer more umph to the music, this is very text only. the dynamics are missing, but i guess it works. joanna is great!
Its Adam Pascall and Anthony Rapp
They didnt get either right.
lmaoooo
*Brings out butcher's knife* Okay, where's Anthony?!
This cast was...weeeird...I'm good with the OBC, Today show. Thanks, but no thanks.
-Lynn
its not him, everyone left before 1999...
a lot of angels look alike anyway
is it just me or did the roger totally miss "use your camera to spar"?
and the one who plays Joanne
the real cast, please
Check out the youtube video "Adam Pascal Behind the Scenes" he talks about his wife and kid? He's Awesome!
Which one?
o god my ears are bleading!!!!!!!!!!!
why is this not the orignial cast???
Who is the Maureen?
at 3:05 Roger sounds and looks like he's gonna laugh
Who is the Maureen
Yeah, the broadway show is much better than the movie.
It was okay.
The original cast was so much better.
omigosh- They forgot lyrics!!!!!
the movie cast is SO much better
i saw rent with declan bennett who was better BY FAR than this roger. he really captured roger's character.
honestly, this was a bad performance, but i definitely see the potential, and i'm sure they did good in the actual performances. they are on BROADWAY so i think calling them horrible is a little bit exaggerated.
although it is pretty hilarious when the roger forget his line at 3:00 and literally cant stop laughing...
Adam Pascal isn't my favorite for the part of Roger either....that would be Christian Mena, who is STILL going strong and sounds as great as ever.
im going to see rent on tour but i wouldnt be if adam and anthony werent doing the show. THIS NEW CAST STINKS
nooo not the original cast at all
mark and roger are definitly different, not Adam and Anthony
Joanne's different
ok everyone's different...
haha what's up with mark and roger jumping around in the beginning?
haha no "use your camera to spar" line from Roger :)
I just don't really like Roger... but when he sings with Mark they sound awesome (sorry, I don't know they actor's names)
he just doesn't look like a rock guitarrist :S he looks more like a member of a cheesy boy band...
yeahh and joeanne should be all business-eyy. and i just like the movie & original way better.
Really.
I may get chewed out for this, but I don't think that this cast was /too/ horrible. I liked the Joanne, and the Mark was okay.. But yeah. The Roger was pretty horrible. The actor tried to make him far more rough and bad ass then Roger was. Overall, not my favorite, but it wasn't the worst I've seen.
OBC = Best
lol its ok! ;)
sry didnt watch it before i posted
Yeah I like original.... but Mark isn't bad in this one.
wtfs up with collins
i thought this was a joke at first. not to be mean, bu the original cast was SOOO much better
Who are these people??? I mean, seriously.
If I saw these guys on Broadway, I'd ask for my money back. Joanna sounds much to much like Maureen, Benny is flat, and the video itself was taped over something about quads.
idina menzel
This is an interesting cast, but I really didn't like Roger that much. Overall, not a bad performance (I love the Today Show) but I'm not used to this cast so it's a new experience.
oooo these people are not too good...they dont even come close to anthony and adam. i saw them in chicago on 04/08 and they were simply amazing.
joanne is SCARY!!
Yea they over acted to the camera....and i dont' think it should say THE cast of Rent in the description unless its the actual original cast
Whaaat's up with that 0:31 ?? Dork?
lol he forgot a line!!
He's no Rapp. Great though
wow....either this cast was having an off day or they are always bad. damn...
I like the original cast better.
they were much better in the movie
lol. Sorry but three stars?
hate this cast.
Hate it.
The Joanne was pretty okay, and so was the Mark.
....The Benny well...er...GORGEOUSNESS. x]
