- The Final Curtain Call
From Rent: Filmed Live on Broadway
I've been looking for this for a long time and it's so great so I thought I should share it with people :) - บันเทิง
Anthony Rapp has done a lot for Rent. From the first workshops to the final Broadway performance. He sold tickets from the box office, worked press junkets, did charity promotions, sang on the album, performed reunion concerts, and starred in the movie. Of all the performers, he is Rent.
Jordan Peters ...I agree 525600%
Jonathan Larson is Rent. Not Anthony.
He did his best with his friends legacy and deserves to be celebrated too
Reyes Rodriguez I said ... of the performers. Jonathan Larson was not a performer in Rent. That is all I was saying. Of course Jonathan Larson was Rent, I wanted to look at those who carried his legacy beyond his untimely death. His family and one or two of the producers that kept the show going probably rank ahead of Anthony too but if you only look at performers then I contend it’s Mr. Rapp. Now, what say you?
Reyes Rodriguez What part of "of all performers" did you not get?
just to clear a few things up, Idina and Taye were doing something overseas, and Adam sold his ticket for charity. thank you Jonothan Larson.
If this doesn't reduce you to tears, nothing will. Sobbing for joy.
Yessssss
😢
I still have trouble accepting the cruel irony of Jonathan's death on the day the show was supposed to open (they did open that night, but they started out doing just a run through sitting at a table, but somewhere along the way, they just couldn't sit there anymore, and got up to do the show with the choreography, etc., is what I've read/seen/heard). It just isn't fair.
Rest in peace, Jonathan. If you only knew how much good you've done for our world...
storyofcory who’s Jonathan
Snapshot Images28 Creator of the show.
Who was Jonathan? Sorry, ever seen Rent or know what it’s about. Just know this song.
@@Kinsella_Finn Jonathan refers to Jonathan Larson. He wrote RENT, and tragically passed away in the early morning hours of the first public performance of the show in 1996 from an aortic aneurysm due to Marfan Syndrome. He never got to see the phenomenan that RENT became.
i agree with you 100000000% sometimes life can be so dam cruel all those years waiting tables (for pennies).and to be misdiagnosed and sent home...they never sued i don't think that Jonathan would have wanted that. man had to much heart i sure hope that there is a heaven
I was bawling my eyes out the entire time. A lot of people don't know what it's like to be with a cast of people for so long, I've been in a musical theater show where it ran for 6 months (I would have died crying if I were in a show as long as this), and most people don't know the pain of a final performance and having to leave that stage for the last time. It's a final everything. It's your last call time, your last mic check, your last "thank you ten", your last "thank you five", your last places, your last performance of every song, and the last curtain call will having you crying like crazy. With a show as inspiring as this, it would be a sad, sad goodbye.
Alexyn Cervantes so very true.
It’s like the end of an era
Alexyn Cervantes Exactly. It’s an actual physical pain...
I've been involved with musical theater since 2001, playing trombone and keys in pit orchestras. I tend to do at least one show a year at various high schools and theater clubs and I feel this. And my shows usually only run for a week, I can't imagine how Anthony Rapp was feeling this night.
Chris Houston same. i forgot i even commented this as a freshmen in high school, but it still reigns true. my final performance at my high school was tough; lots & lots of tears. that’s the beauty of theatre though.
In these trying times, we need this song more than ever.
Thank you Jonathan Larson.
2024 and we need not just the song but the play.
Anthony Rapp is and will always be Mark Cohen
When they show Jonathan Larson's parents @ 7:08 another wave of tears hit.
And his sister @ 5:15
Ok I thought I was crazy to think that was his mom. That so awesome. She doesn't have grandkids to have a piece of Jonathan she has a whole broadway phenomenon 🤣🥰.
Seeing Jonathan's parents Al and Nan, sister Julie, and nephews Matt and Dylan there just made me so happy. Seeing how proud they were, seeing the tears in Matt's eyes...it really brought tears to my eyes. Its so sad that Nan is gone now as well. She seemed like such a nice woman.
And now Al's gone. It's just Julie and her family now.
I finally lost it when Tracie ran into Jesse's arms. This is so amazing ugh
I lost it when the old cast came on the stage :')
My heart just melts when Tracie runs up and hugs Jesse at 6:44. It's so sweet
They were in the movie together! :)
not a dry eye in the room. god no matter how long it has been since I've seen this musical, I always end up coming back and rewatching numbers from it. never had a production resonate with me as much as this gorgeous play has
I was in a community theater production of RENT as the bag lady. Never have I felt such a connection to any cast. Whenever we see each other we say, "We did RENT." It never leaves us. It will always live within us. It changed me. It changes all of us. The world was blessed by Jonathan and this beautiful show.
Bless Jonathan. He’ll never know how much this musical changed, inspired, and touched lives and how it will continue to do so with each new generation of Broadway babies. ❤️
I think he knows. Somewhere, he knows. ✌💙
I hope that somehow and somewhere he does know.
It also showed what people were really going through in the 80’s and early 90’s during the early years of HIV and AIDS.
Of all the musicals I've seen, this is the one that resonates with me the most in that, having known some of the troubles of the characters like getting evicted or being broke or living out a death sentence, I know that dark place the characters draw their pain out from, tryna' light the dark with music and love and friendship and--faith.
When I go, I want whoever's there to be singing 'Seasons of Love'. :)
I was fine but then Angel came back on. I ugly cried the rest of the time and I still haven't stopped. I was supposed to get off the computer an hour ago. I should have followed through.
every time.... enter Angel ans suddenly someone starts chopping a mountain of onions...
I was perfectly fine... and THEN... at around the 5:30 mark when they filmed that young lady in the audience crying... OMG... ALL. THE. FEELS. came the heck outta me.
gatt5u ikr 😭😭
Totally
This musical was my generation growing up in HS. Thank you Jonathan for writing a beautiful piece of art!!! I wish this show was still running in its original form!
This broke my heart. Sitting here sobbing. Can't imagine what it was like to be in the audience, but damn I wish I had been! We love you Jonathan!
I saw a touring production once upon a time. It wasn't quite as good as with the original Broadway cast (or even this cast for the last show), but it still evoked a lot of emotions in me.
LOVE ~ Love is the answer R.I.P. Jonathan Larson - you did GREAT ! Walk with angels now through out the stars > LOVE ~ never ends ~
can't watch rent without crying. rest in Jonathan. u are missed
just to get something off my chest.. ive listened to this song every so often since i first heard it as a child in the 2000's. i didnt have much context for what it was about but i was attracted to the performances and emotion.
the older i get and the more i listen i find out more about myself why i like the song and why it speaks to me. breaking down a year into minutes seems like such a cheesy, simple, kitsch thing... but with all this uncertainty going on i add on the fact i was one of many people closing down business and i'm expecting my first child any day now. i spend each day trying to get some sort of loan or doing small time hustles to keep my savings from depleting.
it's 230am i sleep on and off and listening to this now finally made me cry, which is cathartic in itself, but also made me admit that i was scared about the future. i cant help it, but i dont want to waste each minute thinking about money or this and that. i want to be there for my son and his mother. the people who love and protect me. ive spent this entire year so far and many other years not measuring in love
I get tears in my eyes every time I watch this. I can't believe it's off Broadway and today the tour ended :( But RENT will continue to live forever :) Viva la vie boheme!
Thank you Jonathan Larson.
Beautiful! It's too bad everyone from the original cast could not be there. That show made the careers of everyone in the original cast. Idina Menzel, Jessie L Martin, Anthony Rapp. It's sad that Jonathan Larson could not see his dream become such an amazing success.
Wow. It must be SO emotional to be on stage, in the audience, on a day such as that. There aren't words.
at 6:44 when Tracie runs into Jessie's arms breaks me every time!
Truly the most beautiful musical of all time.
it was like johnathan was looking down that night and they were singing as loud as they could for him to hear. ive never been to impacted by a show in my life and for that i thanl u john. GOD BLESS U. "NO DAY BUT TODAY"
This is one of my favourite videos ever created. It's such a good frame of humanity, I have tears in my eyes just writing this.
RENT is exactly this: representation of humankind as a whole.
Jonathan Larrson was a gift for the world, a genius and a visionary. We were ROBBED of time with him and I truly wish his legacy will live on forever.
Viva la vie bohéme.
If this doesn't make you smile and tear up with joy I don't know what will. Thank you Jonathan Larson for this beautiful gift of RENT.
I was tearing up from 0:44 onward. You can just see in their faces how happy the OG cast is to be there.
Didn't expect to cry my eyes out at 1 AM but here we are
ワシントン在住の頃、見に行きました。素晴らしかったです。一つ一つの歌が心に沁みてます。このようなミュージカルが評価されることがアメリカの強さだと思います。🎉
Rent: one of the most beautiful musicals of all time.
Once Rent was all my life. I still feel I’m so lucky to have met the special musical in my life ❤
Did I just hear her hit that beautiful, clear absolutely perfect note? Wow.
Not gonna lie...I cried like a baby through almost the entire video. Since seeing the OBC performance in 96, this musical touched my heart and opened my mind. True Rentheads will understand.
Why were people crying?
I appreciate your words. I am in my mid 60’s and my heart was touched and my mind definitely opened.
Seeing the crowd so sad just makes me feel so emotional
Kyle rutherford- Why were they crying?
I'm so happy I got the opportunity to see this while it was on Broadway. So amazing! If this doesn't make anyone cry then you aren't human!
Every time I have watched this I get all teared up! INCREDIBLE!
I can't keep the tears from flowing whenever I watch this. Thank you all!!!
There were times in NYC when one night you could go to the Met to see La Boheme, and the next night go to the Nederlander to see Rent. This still gives me chills, with all the hate, divide and anger in the world, maybe more people should watch this.
I was at the filming of the last show. An experience I will NEVER forget.
This show needs to come back immediately
This song sends chills through me every time. Love, joy, friendship and so much more.
Goosebumps....chills....tears of sadness n joy....all emotions! BIG SMILE on my face when i see this especially with the OBC there! GO OBC!
Was in ensemble for this at my school a few weeks ago, truly will change your life.
They made me cry...
I'M NOT CRYING I JUST HAVE SOMETHING IN MY EYE...OK FINE I'M CRYING LIKE A BABY
WHO LEFT THIS PLATE OF ONIONS!!!
No shame at all! Let the tears flow
I got the opportunity to see Rent at the Netherlander as a Christmas gift when i was around 18 or so.. I'll never forget it. I don't know exactly what it was that resonated so strongly with me from this show but from the second I saw the movie i've been singing and dancing to these songs constantly. ( going on 17 years later). It brings me great joy, What a gift Johnathan Larson left us all.
I saw it during Christmas at that age too! Completely changed my life
This is so Beautiful i can't put it into words how wonderful and powerful this shows last mintues on broadway were..
4:42 Marcus Paul James Killed it
Brought tears to my eyes.
HE DID THAT!!!! I was bout to throw my computer!!👏👏👏
Absolutely awesome. After being so lucky to see the original cast in New York & watching this gave me the shivers & a couple of tears :) Watching the 20th Rent Anniversary in Liverpool (UK) tomorrow, cant wait !
Such an inspiration. Thank you, Jonathan Larson. May you Rest In Peace.
You did it.
Every time I hear this song it always makes me cry! Jonathan you really are a genius!
I am so excited. I just got cast in a community theatre production. So excited for this music to become more of my life than it already is!!
This is such a beautiful, wonderful clip! I keep coming back here to watch and listen. Pure joy!
Wow, I cried through the entire video.
I only wish I was there in person, but I was most definately there when it came out in theatres.
RENThead for 8 years....
Teary eyed still now 2021. 🌄🎆❤🌈

I have seen them when they came to Baltimore Maryland it was amazing I cried through out the whole show :) what an amazing show
I tear up every time I see this clip, just like when I saw the show live.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful moment. If it didn’t move you, you have no pulse.♥️♥️
I saw this on Broadway at the Nederlander Theatre.....epic....
we just got done with RENT in my school we made an amazing run which led me to tears the last show we did as roger after mimi says she was heading towards a worm white light i lost it
The Best of the Best. Takes me through the ceiling
Thank you for this time capsule Masterpiece
True love and loyalty to the MAX
I just listening to this again and again. Never gets old for me. Moving and inspiring. Pray that even more people will listen and be moved and inspired by its message. We would have a much better world I believe after we listen and take the message which I believe is being brought to heart very sincerely
Sorry for the typos. What I meant to say in the beginning of my post was that I cannot stop listening to this again and again.
It is a great message! Amen!
My first Broadway Musical I ever saw.
That was beautiful!❤️
Fantastic. You all guys got tears! Thank you for sharing 💜🤟
Such a beautiful song with beautiful lyrics. Today is January 1, 2022.. how will we measure, measure this year?
OMG this was amazing I was in tears the whole time singing along. 6:46 was adorable. RENT FOREVER. Thank you so so so so MUCH Jonathan Larson,
This is so very special!
I'm sobbing seeing this. I couldn't imagine actually being. What an beautifully intense experience. ❤
Thank you for sharing this
Wow! That must have been incredible!
I was okay until I saw Jonathan's parents. They were so proud of what their son had accomplished. May his heart rest in peace!
Where are his parents?
@@jafaelpetals2022 they're the lovely couple in 7:08
Its even more poignant now that his mom, Nan, is gone as well.
I got to see RENT live back when I was 16 in 1998. It was the 2nd musical my mother ever took me to after Phantom. I loved it and still do to this day. I know it has quite a few flaws, but I don't think there's a musical out there that doesn't. It's easy to overlook the flaws when the musical itself is so amazing and inspiring. I can't listen to their signature song without sobbing. It's just so beautiful and brings me to a place in my head where I need to be, aka in the moment, understanding that each second of life is precious. This musical taught me that love heals all, back when my father had recently died of ALS and I was still emotionally recovering. I remember not wanting to upset my mother, so I tried my best not to cry during the sad moments of the musical, but it was hella hard. I also have the movie on dvd and now that I know there's a dvd of the final curtain call, I want that so badly! No matter how many people criticize the play, I will always love it. Thank you, Jonathan, for writing a musical that can speak to anyone and teach them that life is precious.
One could only imagine how much those lyrics have resonated with the original cast in new and relevant ways from the debut and throughout the years, I think 0:42-1:04 is a visual representation of this
I just finished a run of RENT at my school, I remembered this video during our last finale :D
No me canso de ver esa escena me encanta
i haven't watched the movie in years, put it in the computer . then noticed it was Jan.25, the day that Mr. Larson passed wow
I saw Rent on B'way twice and both times I ugly cried pretty much the entire time.
Still the BESTEST. MUSICAL. EVER.
All due respect, I’ll argue for “A Chorus Line,’ wanting to be that good but never being that good.
I'm crying so much RN
Best musical ever!!!!❤❤❤❤
Johnathon Larson, this is your legacy. It is bigger than you ever dreamed.
God, I feel the emotion!
Got goosebumps
Just amazing how this show still manages to capture audiences the world over. Magnificent.
I was there 2 nights before the last... and the emotions were crazy then too...
Loved loved RENT
Gwen Stewart: "You got to remember to loveeee!"
i just cried watching this...
Great music
I’m so sad that I never got to see it on broadway. I watched it on dvd and off Broadway
humanity at its best. ♥️
Who’s still watching it and crying?
Magical! Wow...
