CAST: Sean Pol McGreevy, Samuel Nicholl, Allyson Brown, Mykal Rand, Thomas Goodridge, Rachel Tucker, Jacqui Dubois, Mark McLean

NOT MY NOTES: Ends after Tango Maureen, lots of generation loss. Interesting to see though as it's so completely different from the usual productions.

CAST: Timoteus Perei, Sandor Nagy, Gabriella Mezofi, Aniko Nagy, Reka Koos, Attila Serban, Lenard Fellegi

​

CAST: Vincent Kempski (Roger Davis), Jake Loewenthal (Mark Cohen), Josh A. Dawson (Tom Collins), Da’Von T. Moody (Benjamin Coffin III), Ines Nassara (Joanne Jefferson), David Merino (Angel Dumont Schubart), Arianna Rosario (Mimi Marquez), Katie Mariko Murray (Maureen Johnson), Imani Branch, Devin Bowles, Kaiyla Gross [Act 1], Sarah Anne Sellers [Act 2], Jimmy Mavrikes, Solomon Parker III, Sean Watkinson, Adelina Mitchell

MASTER’S NOTES: “Includes video, tracked and untracked MP3 audio, and program. Never to be sold. Decent wide-shot phone boot. Some scenes are quite dark, and action can be missed (especially in the voicemails) when actors are on the balconies, but such is life for theatre in the round. Soft focus on some of the further away action. Act 2 was delayed and the understudy took over for Seasons of Love soloist and others. The cast reacting to her performance is the sweetest thing I've seen.”

CAST: Anthony Rapp (Mark Cohen), Adam Pascal (Roger Davis), Daphne Rubin-Vega (Mimi Márquez), Wilson Jermaine Heredia (Angel Dumott Schunard), Jesse L Martin (Tom Collins), Yassmin Alers (u/s Maureen Johnson), Fredi Walker (Joanne Jefferson), Taye Diggs (Benjamin Coffin III)

NOTES: Unbelievably talented swing Yassmin Alers as Maureen here. (She's also played Mimi, sung the Seasons of Love solo, and chalked up every other women's ensemble role. I bet she's stepped up as Joanne at some point or another.) as usual, the visuals are kind of a wash (generation loss, washout, shot from far away), but the sound is worlds better than any audios in the Nederlander for a long, long time. I very much recommend this video for the audio track alone---great to hear the OBC with very different takes on the lines from the official recording, and an occasional changed-up lyric (not flubbed).

CAST: Jim Poulos (Mark Cohen), Manley Pope (Roger Davis), Karen Olivo (u/s Mimi Márquez), Jai Rodriguez (u/s Angel Dumott Schunard), Calvin Grant (u/s Tom Collins), Tamara Podemski (Maureen Johnson), Kenna J Ramsey (Joanne Jefferson), Jacques C Smith (Benjamin Coffin III)

NOTES: So, you know that one video whose standard description is, "If you're a fan of the show, it's still an interesting video to have"? Sound quality here is still better than most RENT audios of the time, but the master's ability to see the action beyond heads is limited, and there are significant periods of blackout. Includes part of Rent through T4U, Another Day through part of ICY, and part of OTM through LVB-A. It seems like a couple of the cast members are off their game, but that's not really fair given how little of the show is here. Still, if you're a fan of the show, this is an interesting video to have.

CAST: Trey Ellett (Mark), Manley Pope (Roger), Loraine Velez (Mimi), Cristina Fadale (Maureen), Danielle Lee Greaves (Joanne), John Eric Parker, Peter Matthew Smith

MASTER'S NOTES: Some good zooms, good sound, some heads in the way off and on; Starts at the beginning of "Rent", missing the end of "La Vie Boheme" and almost all of "Seasons of Love", cuts off during Finale.

MY NOTES: Also really glad to have video of Loraine.

CAST: Trey Ellett (Mark), Manley Pope (Roger), Yassmin Alers (u/s Mimi), Andy Señor Jr (Angel), Mark Leroy Jackson (Collins), Kendra Kassebaum (u/s Maureen), Natalie Venetia Belcon (Joanne), Stu James (Benny), Sala Iwamatsu, Robin Walker, Dean Armstrong, David St Louis, Myiia Watson-Davis, Darryl Ordell, Owen Johnston

NOTES: The master does the best job possible working around a couple of heads whose owners would not. stop. moving. The video quality is reasonable, the sound is excellent, and the cast is fantastic! Yassmin Alers is such a good Mimi. Definitely recommended!

CAST: Scott Hunt (u/s Mark), Dean Armstrong (u/s Roger), Dominique Roy (Mimi), Mark Leroy Johnson (Collins), Andy Señor (Angel), Yassmin Alers (u/s Maureen), Natalie Venetia Belcon (Joanne), Stu James (Benny), Jodi Carmeli (Mrs. Cohen), David St. Louis (Mr. Jefferson/SOL #2), Myiia Watson-Davis (Mrs. Jefferson/SOL #1), Darryl Ordell (Paul), Jai Rodriguez (u/s Gordon), Enrico Rodriguez (u/s Steve), Sala Iwamatsu (Alexi)

NOTES: Final show for Yaz and Enrico

CAST: Trey Ellett (Mark), Matt Caplan (u/s? Roger), Karmine Alers (Mimi), Andy Señor Jr (Angel), Mark Richard Ford (Collins), Maggie Benjamin (Maureen), Myiia Watson-Davis (Joanne), Stu James (Benny), Jodi Carmeli, Maia Nkenge Wilson, Chad Richardson, Todd E Pettiford, Kim Varhola, Darryl Ordell, Owen Johnston II

NOTES: The video quality (in terms of generation transfer) is a mess. The beginning is nearly unwatchable.

CAST: Joey Fatone (Mark), Manley Pope (Roger), Karmine Alers (Mimi), Jai Rodriguez (Angel), Mark Richard Ford (Collins), Todd E Pettiford

NOTES: A *very* nice video, quality and cast-wise. Joey Fatone way outdid my "celebrity guest" expectations. Great cast and video overall!

CAST: Cary Shields, Matt Caplan, Mark Richard Ford, Stu James, Frenchie Davis, Andy Senor, Krystal Washington, Maggie Benjamin, John Eric Parker, Catrice Joseph

NOT MY NOTES: Digital; video begins at “You Okay Honey” and is complete after that; nice video

CAST: Matt Caplan (Mark Cohen), Jeremy Kushnier (Roger Davis), Melanie Brown (Mimi Márquez), Andy Señor Jr (Angel Dumott Schunard), Mark Richard Ford (Tom Collins), Maggie Benjamin (Maureen Johnson), Merle Dandridge (Joanne Jefferson), D'Monroe (Benny), Mayumi Ando, Kristen Lee Kelly, Colin Hanlon, Destan Owens, Catrice Joseph, Enrico Rodriguez, Justin Johnston

NOTES: A little bit of generation loss on the visuals, but a nice shoot with little washout and good sound.

CAST: Matt Caplan (Mark), Jeremy Kushnier (Roger), Melanie Brown (Mimi), Andy Señor Jr. (Angel), Mark Richard Ford (Collins), Maggie Benjamin (Maureen), Merle Dandridge (Joanne), D'Monroe (Benny), Mayumi Ando, Kristen Lee Kelly, Colin Hanlon, Destan Owens, Catrice Joseph, Enrico Rodriguez , Justin Johnston

NOTES: Video quality is surprisingly (to me) decent! Audio is fantastic; some great performers although others struggle. Andy Señor, Jr. brings such a beautiful sweetness to Angel.

CAST: Cary Shields (Roger), Matt Caplan (Mark), Karmine Alers (Mimi), Destan Owens (Collins), D'Monroe (Benny), Danielle Lee Greaves (Joanne), Enrico Rodriguez (u/s Angel)), Kelly Karbacz (Maureen), Frenchie Davis, Caren Lyn Manuel

MASTER’S NOTES: Digital Video, filmed from the middle of the mezzanine; filmed around two heads but lots of closeups. A

CAST: Matt Caplan (Mark), Cary Shields (Roger), Karmine Alers (Mimi), Destan Owens (Collins), Justin Johnson (Angel), Ava Gaudet (Maureen u/s), Merle Dandridge (Joanne), D'Monroe (Benny), Diana Kaarina (Mrs. Cohen u/s), Frenchie Davis (Mrs. Jefferson/Soloist #1), Owen Johnston II (Mr. Jefferson/Soloist #2 u/s), Colin Hanlon (Gordon), Enrico Rodriguez (Steve), Shaun Earl (Paul), Mayumi Ando (Alexi)

NOTES: Act 2 is nearly complete; Act 1 captures Tune Up #3, One Song Glory, Today 4 U Out Tonight, I’ll Cover You, the end of Christmas Bells through LVB-B. A great video with great sound of a great cast despite an occasional head; crystal-clear close-ups; a near-perfect capture of Karmine’s amazing Out Tonight. This is a personal favorite.

CAST: Colin Hanlon (u/s Mark); Cary Shields (Roger); Karmine Alers (Mimi); Ava Gaudet (Maureen); Merle Dandridge (Joanne); Destan Owens (Collins); Justin Johnston (Angel); D’Monroe (Benny)

NOT MY NOTES: The video is missing “Will I” to the the first part of “Christmas Bells.” The show is full after that.

CAST: Will Chase (Roger), Matt Caplan (Mark), Antonique Smith (Mimi), Kenna Ramsey (Joanne), Ava Gaudet (Maureen), D'Monroe (Benny), Philip Dorian McAdoo (Collins), Justin Johnston (Angel), Frenchie Davis, Marcus Paul James, Peter Matthew Smith

NOTES: This one is "all right," all-around. Quality is decent, but spotlight washout and heads in wider shots. The cast sounds like they're giving it everything they've got, and can't understand why it's not quite what it should amount to. There are what should be some amazing performances here, in fact, but something just doesn't quite work.

CAST: Christopher Hanke (Mark), Tim Howar, Jaime Lee Kirchner (Mimi), Justin Johnston (Angel), Troy Horne (Collins), Nicolette Hart (Maureen), Crystal Monee Hall (Joanne), D'Monroe (Benny)

NOTES: I am super impressed with most of this cast, especially Christopher Hanke! Maybe my favorite Mark? Great quality video, too. I sort of doubt that my mkv is the original file; I'd love to trade for the originals if you have them!

CAST: Harley Jay (Mark), Jay Wilkison (u/s Roger), Tamyra Gray (Mimi), Justin Johnston (Angel), Michael McElroy (Collins), Nicolette Hart (Maureen), Kenna J Ramsey (Joanne), Rodney Hicks (Benny), Caren Lyn Manuel, Peter Matthew Smith, Marcus Paul James, Maia Nkenge Wilson, Shaun Earl, Andy Señor Jr.

NOTES: Great video and sound. Cast is phenomenal. Jay Wilkison made me really *feel* One Song Glory, and of course Tamyra Gray does a breathtaking OT.​

CAST: Harley Jay (Mark), Kyle Post (e/c Mark!), Declan Bennett (Roger), Tamyra Gray (Mimi), Justin Johnston (Angel), Michael McElroy (Collins), Nicolette Hart (Maureen), Kenna J Ramsey (Joanne), Rodney Hicks (Benny), Caren Lyn Manuel, Marcus Paul James, Maia Nkenge Wilson, Shaun Earl (Paul and others), Andy Señor Jr

NOTES: Kyle Post comes on as e/c Mark partway through Act 1. Chunks of Act 1 are missing; Act 2 is complete.

CAST: Jay Wilkinson (u/s Roger), Caren Lyn Manuel (u/s Mimi), Adam Kantor (Mark), Rodney Hicks (Benny), Michael McElroy (Collins), Justin Johnston (Angel), Kenna Ramsey (Joanne), Nicolette Hart (Maureen), Karmine Alers, Marcus Paul James, Maia Nkenge Wilson, Kyle Post, Telly Leung, Shaun Earl, Andrea Goss

NOTES: Excellent, sharp video and sound. There's an unfortunate head and arm that blocks a lot of action on stage right--the Nederlander's mezzanine/balcony seems like a particularly tough place for a capture. Still worth it for the great cast, though, and otherwise the visual quality is great! Why is there not more cheering at the "To marijuana" line?

CAST: Will Chase (Roger), Adam Kantor (Mark), Todd E. Pettiford (u/s Collins), Rodney Hicks (Benny), Merle Dandrige (Joanne), Justin Johnston (Angel), Karmine Alers (u/s Mimi), Eden Espinosa (Maureen), Caren Lyn Manuel, Maia Nkenge Wilson, Marcus Paul James, Jay Wilkison, Telly Leung, Shaun Earl, Mayumi Ando

​

CAST: Trey Ellett (Mark), Josh Greene (Roger u/s), Laura Dias (Mimi), Erin Keaney (Maureen), Evan D'Angeles (Angel u/s), Allan Mingo Jr. (Collins u/s), Kamilah Martin (Joanne), Dwayne Clark (Benny)

NOTES: Sound quality is excellent; way better than RENT audios of the time. The video visuals probably started off awesome, but generation loss has definitely taken a toll. It's still very watchable---the master really knows the show; it's a great video if you want to see a lot of the blocking.

CAST: Trey Ellett (Mark), Dean Balkwill (Roger), Sharon Leal (Mimi), Erin Keaney (Maureen), Kamilah Martin (Joanne), Mark Leroy Jackson (Collins), Shaun Earl (Angel), Brian Love (Benny)

NOTES: [This is the show where there are three videos. Mine is the cleaned up, full-color, full-show, filmed close-in version with TV clips included.] Final performance for the Angel Tour, and the cast and audience are both giving it everything. Heavy generation loss on the visuals, but excellent capture and sound! This video is so completely worth it for the performance itself, plus the energy in that theatre.

CAST: Matt Caplan (Mark), Joshua Kobak (Roger u/s), Saycon Sengbloh (Mimi), Marcus Chaney (Collins u/s), Shaun Earl (Angel), Erin Keaney (Maureen), Jacqueline B. Arnold (Joanne), Brian M. Love (Benny), Courtney Corey (Mrs. Cohen u/s), Maia Nkenge Wilson (Mrs. Jefferson/Soloist #1), Fred Jones (Mr. Jefferson/Soloist #2 u/s), Curtis Cregan (Gordon), Jake Manabat (Steve), Matthew Murphy (Paul), Tricia Young (Alexi)

NOTES: Starts during “Rent.” Folder includes footage of Matt Caplan’s concert! Occasional railing obstruction, but then, Saycon Sengbloh!

​

NOTES: Mono sound converted to stereo, so be sure to adjust your settings. Then then volume is super quiet, but the sound is there and great! VHS capture, but less generation loss than you might expect. And a fine, fine show.

CAST: Matt Caplan (Mark), Jeremy Kushnier (Roger), Karmine Alers (u/s Mimi), Mark Richard Ford (Collins), Shaun Earl (Angel), Stefanie Roth (u/s Maureen), Jacqueline B. Arnold (Joanne), Brian M. Love (Benny), Haven Burton (Mrs. Cohen), Cicily Daniels (Mrs. Jefferson/Soloist #1), Marcus Chaney (Mr. Jefferson/Soloist #2), Curtis Cregan (Gordon), Jake Manabat (Steve), Justin Johnson (Paul), Sala Iwamatsu (Alexi)

NOTES: Some generation loss on the visuals, though not much; otherwise a fantastic RENT video from 2001, and very well shot.

CAST: Christian Mena (Roger), Matt Caplan (Mark), Saycon Sengbloh (Mimi), Maggie Benjamin (Maureen), Racquel Roberts (u/s Joanne), Mark Ford (Collins), Shaun Earl (Angel), Haven Burton (Mark's mom), Brian Love (Benjamin Cofin III), Maia Wilson (Female soloist), Marcus Chaney, Curtis Cregan, Jake Manabat, Justin Johnston, Tricia Young

MASTER’S NOTES: Great zooms, steady camera, clear picture but a little dark, overall excellent quality; Raquel Roberts' last performance. B+

CAST: Chad Richardson (Mark), Cary Shields (Roger), Saskia Garel (Mimi), Jenifer Aubry (Maureen), Karen Leblanc (Joanne),Danny Blanco (Collins), Jai Rodriguez (Angel)

NOT MY NOTES: “Starts during RENT. Finishes around I'll Cover You B
A lot of spotlight washout and generation loss but steller audio.”

CAST: Jed Resnick (Mark), Bryce Ryness (Roger), Nina Metrick (u/s Mimi), Ano Okera (Angel), Warren G Nolan Jr (Collins), Tracy McDowell (Maureen), Chante Carmel Frierson (Joanne), Michael Ifill (Benny), Sheila Coyle, Jenna Noel, Gavin Reign, Aswad, Mimi Jimenez, Mike Evariste, Cedric Leiba Jr.

​

CAST: Jed Resnick (Mark), Heinz Winckler (Roger), Jennifer Colby Talton (Mimi), Kristen-Alexander Griffith (Angel), Anwar F Robinson (Collins), Christine Dwyer (u/s Maureen), Onyie Nwachukwu (Joanne), John Watson (Benny), Jade Hicks, Hannah Shankman, Corey Mach, DeVon Settles, Mimi Jimenez, Tim Ehrlich, Dustin Brayley

​

CAST: Danny Harris Kornfeld (Mark), Kaleb Wells (Roger), Skyler Volpe (Mimi), David Merino (Angel), Aaron Harrington (Collins), Katie LaMark (Maureen), Jasmine Easler (Joanne), Christian Thompson (Benny)

NOTES: First preview, and the cast is this good already? Danny and David somehow manage to stand out, and Katie/Jasmine have electric chemistry. Fantastic video work, too.​

CAST: Mark Whitten (Mark); Devin Archer (Roger); Cassie Simone (Mimi); Emily Goglia (Maureen); Amber Mercomes (Joanne); John Devereaux (Collins); Lawrence Cummings (Angel); Cooper Howell (Benny)

NOTES: Gorgeous video of a stunning just-about-replica production. Wow.

CAST: Blake Patrick Anderson (Mark Cohen), Tom Francis (Roger Davis), Maiya Quansah-Breed (Mimi Márquez), Alex Thomas-Smith (Angel Dumott Schunard), Dom Hartley-Harris (Tom Collins), Millie O’Connell (Maureen Johnson), Jocasta Almgill (Joanne Jefferson), Ahmed Hamad (Benjamin Coffin III), Isaac Hesketh, Allie Daniel, Kayla Carter, Bethany Terry

​

CAST: Braeden Addison (Mark), Jonathan Canez (Roger), Izamar Olaguez (Mimi), Christina Lauren (Maureen), Liz B Williams (Joanne), Kenneth Labron (Collins), Cody Garica (Angel), Shawn Rader (Benny)

NOTES: Non-replica production!

CAST: Andrés Bagg (Mark); Germán Tripel (Roger); Florencia Otero (Mimi); Laura Conforte (Maureen); Déborah Turza (Joanne); Pablo Sultani (Collins); Ángel Hernández (Angel); Martín Repetto (Benny)

NOTES: ngl, the quality is terrible. BUt hey, it's video from the 2008 production!

CAST: Franco Friguglietti (Roger), Cande Molfese (Mimi), Federico Coates (Mark), Mariel Percossi (Maureen), Lula Rosenthal (Joanne), Pato Wittis (Tom Collins), Manu Victoria (Angel), Pato Arellano (Benny), Julián Pucheta, Michelle Hersch, Pedro Vega, Pablo Turturiello, Michelle Csapek, Luli Ambrosini, Emely Myles and Maca Giraldez

NOTES: Captured from livestream; gorgeous quality. This is one of the most amazing RENT productions I've seen. Full of dancing (and not in the "throwing around gym mats" sense; looking at you, Dutch RENT 2000) and the lighting is luscious. The best, though, is Angel--the show works hard to emphasize Angel as a person in the world, not a Magical Drag Queen, and explores their reasons for being the person always trying to pick other people up off the ground. A+++.

CAST: Luis Vargas (Mark), Roberto Cainzo (Roger), Mariela Jordán (Mimi), Jhaemy Méndez (Maureen), Vanessa Alcázar (JOanne), Pablo Villanueva (Tom Collins), Andrés Mallo (Ángel), Gonzalo Escobar (Benjamin

NOTES: Pro-shot with full-stage where it's needed and some beautiful close-ups! Very low res, probably ripped from a website at some point. Video is also pretty dark, although the sound is excellent. But it's RENT from Bolivia, so as usual: you either want it regardless, or you wouldn't want it regardless.

CAST: Jarbas Homem de Mello (Mark), Robson Moura (Roger), Andrea Marquee (Mimi), André Dias (Angel), Maurício Xavier (Collins), Alessandra Maestrini (Maureen), Neusa Romano (Joanne), Ronie Marruda (Benny)

NOTES: Proshot. This is the most fun thing I have ever watched. (And no, I don't speak a word of Portuguese, Brazilian or otherwise. Doesn't matter.) Like RENT? You need this.

CAST: Bruno Narchi (Mark), Thiago Machado (Roger), Corina Sabbas (Mimi), Diego Montez (Angel), Guilherme Leal (Collins), Giovanna Moreira (Maureen), Priscila Borges (Joanne) , Mauro Sousa (Benny), Zuba Janaína, Lívia Graciano, Caru Truzzi, Arthur Berges, Igor Miranda, Kaíque Azarias, Fábio Galvão

​

CAST: Alex Melcher (Mark), John Partridge (Roger), Peti van der Velde (Mimi), Sean Ghazi (Angel), David Michael Johnson (Collins), Irina Alex (Maureen), Anna-Tania Horn (Joanne), Colin Rich (Benny)

NOTES: Same cast as the official soundtrack! So very very excellent. Not the English-language show seen on YT. Generation loss, but not to the point of static or lines across the screen. Great mediums/close-ups by the master, and excellent sound. File has the full show with a bonus 14 minutes of static. Peti van der Velde KILLS IT as Mimi. The rest of the cast isn't very far behind. I love this one.

CAST: Alex Melcher (Mark), John Partridge (Roger), Annia-Tania Horn (Joanne), David Michael Johnson (Collins), Irina Alex (Maureen), Tamara Wörner (Mimi), Sean Ghazi, Pehton Quirante, Collin Rich, Barbara Tartaglia, Christopher Hemmans, Katharina Debus, Chris Brewer, x Pierre Alexandre, Lissa Romero

NOTES: Generation loss; sound is good but not great. However, this is a rare 1999 German boot with an u/s principal! And this video is less than a month after the production started!

CAST: Alex Melcher (Mark), John Partridge (Roger), Peti van der Velde (Mimi)

NOTES: Generation loss and the tip top of a head sneaks into the picture but doesn't obscure the action--but fantastic sound. I am so in love with this cast.

CAST (I think): Alex Melcher (Mark), John Partridge (Roger), Peti van der Velde (Mimi), Sean Ghazi (Angel), David Michael Johnson (Collins), Irina Alex (Maureen), Anna-Tania Horn (Joanne), Colin Rich (Benny)

​NOTES: This came to me labeled proshot, but I'm not entirely sure since it's from slightly house-right. Full-stage, mediums, and a few zooms. Some gen loss on the visuals--the action or front of the stage is lit, but anything in the background is dark or not visible. But there's no static--the parts you can see are pretty good. Sound quality is excellent. What a great cast this was.

CAST: Benjamin Beckmann (Mark), Rudd van Overdijk (Roger), Marina La Torraca (Mimi), Manuek Dengler (Angel), Denis Edelmann (Collins), Anna Hofbauer (Maureen), Denise Obdekah (Joanne), Martin Markert (Benny)

NOTES: [Possible photosensitive seizure warning] Video quality is all the excellence you expect from Rumpel. The production is very, very, VERY non-replica...suffice to say, it takes the "neon and chrome" very literally. The cast is stunning, although it's a little jarring to see so many white faces. Also, Collins with a mustache. If you're a RENT fan, YOU NEED TO SEE THIS VIDEO.

CAST: Timoteus Perei, Istvan Csiszar, Kati Nagy, Aniko Nagy, Zsuzsanna Vago, Attila Serban, Lenard Fellegi

NOTES: Zsuzsanna’s first show as Maureen!

CAST: Seeking further info

NOTES: Some generation loss. Filmed from pretty high up, so some of the second-level action is partially obscured by ceiling and spotlights, notably Out Tonight. But yes, in Italian!

CAST: Erik Rubin, Enrique Chi, Samantha Salgador, Sergio Zalvidar, Beto Castillo, Cesar Romero, Pia Aun, Ana Liz

​

NOT MY NOTES: Sound directly patched from the soundboard

CAST: Axl Steve (Roger), Ximena Novo (Mimi), Cristian Torres (Mark), Yarimar Varona (Maureen), Ileana Mendoza (Joanne), Hügo Erick (Benny), Giovanny Santana (Angel), Santiago Morales (Gordon), Natalia Morales, Fer Gallardo, Leonardo Alcazar, Lluvia Vargas

​

CAST: Tom van Landuyt (Mark), Jim de Groot (Roger), Nurlaila Karim (Mimi), Stefan Swinkels (Angel), Edwin Jonker (Collins), Saskia Kikkert (u/s Maureen), Casey Francisco (Joanne), Gino Emnes (Benny)

NOTES: [Seizure photosensitivity warning.] Very, very, very non-replica production by Ivo van Hove. Some of the differences work (Mark and his camera; and yes, I am a fan of this ending); some of them...don't. (Stop. moving. And lying under the coffee table. And what's with the gym mats?) I will say this: this is a production with a point, whereas Berlin 2017 just seems kind of, "what the hey, let's do a thing!" If nothing else, you will come away with even more respect and amazement at Nurlaila's talent than from just listening to the soundtrack, and she is A++ top-grade fabulous.

CAST: Nuno Martins (Mark), Vitor Peixeiro (Roger), Sissi Martins (Mimi)

NOTES: Non-replica and nicely done production. Mixed Portuguese and English--including during the same songs, which is very disorienting for me (who doesn't speak Portuguese) but also very cool.

CAST: 김수용 Kim Soo Yong (Roger), 김세우 Kim Se Woo (Mark), 정선아 Jung Sun Ah (Mimi), 김보경 Kim Bo Kyung (Maureen), 이상현 Lee Sang Hyun (Collins), 김호영 Kim Ho Young (Angel), 문종원 Moon Jong Won (Benny)

NOTES: In Korean! Video is a company video; think halfway between house-cam and proshot. It is multicam like a pro-shot and has medium and semi-zoom shots, plus soundboard audio.

CAST: 장지후 Jang Ji Hoo (Roger), 정원영 Jeong Won Young (Mark), 김수하 Kim Soo Ha (Mimi), 전나영 Jeon Na Young (Maureen) 정다희 Jeong Da Hee (Joanne), 최재림 Choi Jae Rim (Collins), 김호영 Kim Ho Young (Angel), 임정모 Im Jeong Mo (Benny)

NOTES: Songs only

CAST: 오종혁 Oh Jong Hyuk (Roger), 배두훈 Bae Doo Hoon (Mark), 김수하 Kim Soo Ha (Mimi), 전나영 Jeon Na Young (Maureen) 정다희 Jeong Da Hee (Joanne), 최재림 Choi Jae Rim (Collins), 김지휘 Kim Ji Hwi (Angel), 임정모 Im Jeong Mo (Benny)

​

CAST: Oskar Thege, Albin Hillborg, Susanna Sempill, Phillip Ohlund, Christopher Carnhage, Stina Englund, Moa Ahlénius, Nathali Brundell, Sofia Dahlstrom, Helen Fredstam

NOTES: Beautiful high-def proshot of a non-replica production. In Swedish!

CAST: Germán Tripel (Roger), Andrés Bagg (Mark), Pablo Sultani (Collins), Martín Repetto (Benny), Déborah Turza (Joanne), Ángel Hernández (Angel) (no, really), Florencia Otero (Mimi), Laura Conforte (Maureen)

CAST: Anthony Rapp (Mark Cohen), Adam Pascal (Roger Davis), Daphne Rubin-Vega (Mimi Márquez), Wilson Jermaine Heredia (Angel Dumott Schunard), Jesse L Martin (Tom Collins), Idina Menzel (Maureen Johnson), Fredi Walker (Joanne Jefferson), Taye Diggs (Benjamin Coffin III)

MASTER'S NOTES: The original Broadway cast of Rent reunites for Rent 10, a one night-only, benefit concert version of the show to mark the 10th anniversary of Jonathan Larson's landmark musical. Includes intro speeches by Allan Gordon, Mayor Bloomberg, Senator Schumer. Beautifully shot, amazingly clear video. An enthusiastic audience and a few flubs by the cast makes this video even more fun. A

Includes intro speeches by Allan Gordon, Mayor Bloomberg, Senator Schumer. Beautifully shot, amazingly clear video.

MY NOTES: “Concert”…this is more like 75% staged show but with different costumes, including Daphne’s full Out Tonight+dance! We are so unbelievably lucky to have this video.
