Who's my favorite RENT cast member? There is no way I could see this board and NOT take the opportunity to, once again, profess my undying love for the genius that is Anthony Rapp.

Wax Lion loves the beautiful and talented Tracie Thoms. As for the OBC, how could he ever single out just one? Wax Lion is partial to "man with squeegee", otherwise known as "Squeegee Man".

Hey Gilles, Wax Lion needs a squeegee, man. Honest living, honest living, honest living, honest living...

Love,
Wax Lion

Ah, I see we have now completely transofrmed into only thinking of Broadway performers as objects instead of people. I knew those stage door signings would do this! Curses!

Wax Lion see's your point Theaterbaby. Often times he sits at home thinking "Is Wax Lion truly the professional actor that he's meant to be, or just another knick-knack Wax Lion sitting upon a shelf?". Having four legs is tough with today's crowd.

Love,
Wax Lion

Definitely Adam Pascal. He was so hot, he rendered me speechless when I met him at age 16 back in 1996. Idina is a close second.

Senor Rapp.
And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps... What did she realize, Kitten? That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs. What's wrong with that? Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had... Where? On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.

I see there is alot of love here for Anthony. But tell me, do any of you believe, as I do that he could play anything? Including the shark in Jaws?

Um... no, but that's not the point of this thread. Is it? ::Goes to check::

EDIT: I don't believe he could play the shark in Jaws, but that's just me personally. He's too thin.

Do threads *ever* stay on point? Whatever.

And many, many things, but... a shark? Well, anything's possible, I suppose.

Just an extreme example of how fabulous I think he is. Not that choosing one cast member from this show is an easy task.

Agreed. Adam Pascal is definitely great too. I think they're all good in their own way.

Idina and Adam

I don't know if I can choose. Probably Adam for performance, and Idina for personality?

I have no idea, anyway... my next pick is probably Taye Diggs, then Jesse L. Martin
