This looks really terrific! Is anyone travelling to LA especially to see this?
I wish I could see this production...it looks great, I love that they added 10 extra people to the show.

muscle23ftl - I'm traveling to NJ just for it, lol. It's my 2nd time going to CA for Rent in a year. But I wouldn't miss this production for the world. They sound great, and judging by what Nicole said I'm really eager to see her Over The Moon.
wow. i must say i wish i could go, thankfully i have to work this weekend so that will save my bank account from an impromtu trip. they did sound great in the video and although i seriously am NOT a fan of Tveit based on the end of the video i think he sounds terrific and I would actually be willing to give him a chance to win me over as Roger... alas i cant go so that won't happen
It looks really wonderful. Video looks amazing. NPH keeps showing all these new talents-good for him!!! I think Nicole will nail Maureen-she is so much more talented than her pop group allows her to be. I'll be curious about what Hudgens does with Mimi. I wonder want night Zacquisha is attending?
Skylar Astin-YUM!!! Aaron with highlights-too cute!!!

I'm going to be in LA this weekend for a soccer game...hmmmm, I wonder if they have tiks for Sunday's show still. May have to check on that. Tracie Thoms looks beautiful!
"Tveit needs to get over himself. although, he does sound pretty good lol"
He looks better.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)

A. Don't really get the appeal of Tveit. He's gay and comes off as a douche. But he has a decent voice. But I don't think he has the right "rock vibe." He's more of a boy band.
B. Is NPH's hubby in this? In the ensemble? That's awesome!

Some people don't really have to. Tveit is one. On the topic of the thread, however, I really am feeling a lot better about this already just from seeing the rehearsals, and while I understand the video could just be a nice bit of spin and we really haven't seen anything from the casting choices we all were most worried about, I really feel like there's a good vibe about this one now.

The show looks amazing. I wish they would preserve this version with a filming. I love the idea of a bigger ensemble and the new orchestrations. Sounds great! I am sure the new orchestrations will be more forgiving for the less seasoned singers with less range.

Aaron Tveit is a stunning performer. Great voice, and it's like he owns the stage when he is on it! I think he seems really likeable as well, so don't really understand the "get over himself" comment! And yeah, he is stunning. Gay or not, I'm attracted to him!
^^ I also got the impression that NPH is too. and I completely agree, if TV-8 didn't have a good face, people wouldn't be half as interested. his voice is mediocre (usually) and all the parts he plays he does the same Updated On: 8/5/10 at 05:01 PM
