Thank you for all the gifts that you are giving us fans. I know I've said this before, but I'll say it again: these interviews and clips and updates are the highlight of my day.

I just wanted to say thank you to all of you for making this movie. I've never seen it on Broadway, and I LOVE it. You all did such an amazing job, and I can't imagine seeing this movie or any other play with anyone other than the eight of you! I love the movie so much that I've seen it four times and I don't plan on stopping. I tell everyone how great it is and then tell them to go see RENT! You all looked amazing at the red carpet. Thank you again for making this movie and I hope that you all get to read these, because I promise you us fans, we aren't going anywhere, we love it and I hopefully speak for most of us when I say we will continue to support you all in all your upcoming projects.

Much love and continued success to all of you! And hopefully you read this before the new year, so happy holidays!

Love,
Alexandra

Ahhh!! im the first comment!!!(i think lol) ok this is so great!! OK so i just want to say that I loved the movie and saw it twice in one weekend.. i am now a self proclaimed RENT-head and trying to convert all of my friends.. I just want to send ou a message to Wilson..
I loved you as Angel... you were freakin awesome!! Im from Brooklyn too!!! I loved the relationship that you and Jesse (as Collins) had.. the chemistry was unbelievable!! I loved the little stolen glances and EVERYTHING!!! The movie was great and I can't wait till it comes out on DVD.. Keep us posted on when your website comes out and WRITE BACK!!! You're awesome (and CUTE too!!) <33 :)

By the way, your outfit is FABULOUS.

Loveyou!
<3Natalie

Hey, I've been following the whole RENT blog (save for the fact that I don't really comment much)... But the movie was amazing! I went with a friend who had barely even heard of RENT and now she's completely in love with it. Thank you so much for making the movie and posting here throughout the process.

No!!!! Not the last blog!

We'll miss you guys. Thank you so much for everything. Seeing the movie was such an experience for me.

I could tell that you all put your hearts and souls into it and you know we all appreciate that.

XOXO
Kelila

Oh no, it can't end! I loved watching the blogs and reading updates from you guys! I love you all, you're all incredible and I'm so glad you're truly involved with your fans and you appreciate us! We love you and we're here to support you 100% no matter what! And trust me, I did enjoy the movie! I've been telling all my friends and I'm going to go see it a million more times because it was just that amazing!!!

God bless!

- Jamie

That was amazing, you are all just glowing with happiness. It's sad that this might bring the blogs to an end, but we loved following it every second of the way! we love you guys!!

Okay so RENT blew me away and I loved every minute of it. I cried I laughed, and I jsut can't even believe how awesome it was.

You all were fantastic!

My friends and I dressed up to go see it on the very first day, I dressed up as Maureen, and it was fantastic! We were all so happy to be seeing it. We all saw it on stage, not on Broadway unfortunately so seeing the original cast + the awesome Tracie Thoms and Rosario Dawson, was spectacular!

IDINA: My favorite character has always been Maureen, and getting to pretend to be Maureen, and dressing up with my friends was so cool! haha. Umm seriously you were incredible, Over the Moon was fantasic times a thousand. Take me or Leave me was so hilarious and great! Just awesome! Thank you for being you and being so talented! haha. Sweetie it was incredible, anyone who thinks otherwise is just plain silly!

TRACIE: A Renthead getting to be in RENT is so awesome and I am very glad it was you who got Joanne cause honey you rocked! Love it!

ROSARIO: Fantastic. Super sexy, not going to lie. You really kicked some major ass. I loved it so much. You have a beautiful voice!

JESSE: "Merry Christmas Bitches" was the best line ever only tied with IDINA's "There will always be women in rubber flirting with me!" So good Jesse! I loved it all the way!

ANTHONY: Superb! I just can't express how amazing it was. And La Vie Boheme was just so awesome. My God. I love it!

ADAM: One Song Glory was killing me it was so awesome! Wow, fantastic job! Such an awesome voice man!

TAYE: Even though Benny is the antagonist, I totally believe he has heart, cause Mr. Diggs you have heart and there is no way your character couldn't! Fantasic man!

WILSON: The very perfect Angel. You have really incredible legs by the way! haha. I loved it, so awesome. Today 4U was so great! Love it!

RENT is the most AMAZING, INCREDIBLE, EXCITING, EMOTIONAL, BEAUTIFUL movie I've EVER seen!

Wow!! First to comment. That was so exciting to watch...what I would give to be there. I cannot believe this whole experience is coming to an end. It has been so surreal to feel like I have been a part of this for the last few months, and while I am so glad this wonderful film is finally out, I still wish I could come home on Mondays and Wednesdays with some exciting Rent news. What you guy have given your fans is a true gift. Hopefully can see you all soon (April 24?!?!?)
Much Love,
Sammy

I love you guys!!!!!!!!! I was sp touched by the film and I am in love with everything about it and the show. You guys are so inspiring. You truly make me beleive everything is possible. You help me to believe that when I "stay true to myself and to my dreams and know they can come true" they really will come true. I need to meet you someday so I can get my RENT book sighned :). I love you so much and I hope that you get the chance to read this so that you know how truly greatful we, the fans, are. Thank you all so so so much for doing what you do. Keep inspiring...
LOVE YOU GUYS!
X's and O's,

NO DAY BUT TODAY

Well, I haven't been on here since 11/23 and I'm just like GAHHH HOLY RENT BLOGS today....

So first off, this is a comment for all the other blogs that I wish I had time to comment seperatly but unfortunatly I do not...and its also for this blog, which is awesome, and I'm sad that it could most likley be the last one but hey, it had to happen sometime. However, you should totally keep this site up so I can go back to the first blogs and read them over and over again because I love you all so much!

OH MY GOD I still haven't commented about the movie. Holy crap. HOW AWESOME was that film! I was tearing up as soon as I heard the chords to Seasons of Love, and I totally lost it by Life Support. I was like, hyperventalating the entire time. It was PERFECT! <3333

The fact that you guys actually put in time and effort to this blog just makes me so happy! It was wicked exciting to see the progress of the filming, and all your video blogs, and written blogs, and everything else, it was just awesome!

I <33333 you!

This can't be the last one! What will I do if I can't watch new RENT video blogs every day and annoy my roommate half to death (no worries, she's already seen the movie with me once and we're going back with some more friends next week... and I'm going on Saturday with a different friend... and I have to drag another friend before Christmas break... ...Yeah. I'm doing my job.)

I've loved this blog and all of the care and attention you guys have given us. Everyone says it so much that it sounds empty anymore, but honestly -- you guys really ARE amazing and you made the movie exactly what it should be.

Yours,
Mondie :)

I can't stress enough how happy I was with the movie. It was more than I could have dreamed of. It amazes me the dedication that all of you have put into making this movie as wonderful as possible and I want you all to know that you suceeded. I was able to see the a preview and the midnight screening here in Minnesota and you had me bawling through the entirity of the second half. I love this movie and I love rent. I love its message and its spirit. I am so happy that others will be able to experience its passion and its raw emotion. I know that rent has always been a life-changing play and now that it is a life-changing movie, many more people will be able to decide to live with the motto No Day But Today. Thank you so much. You are all amazing.

Thanks to all of the cast for making this movie, if it weren't for the movie, I would've never found out about Rent...and that would just suck.

Taye, trust me, I'll be broke because I've seen it so much. Ten's hopefully my minimum! I'm halfway there :P You were amazing! Thanks for loving us crazy rentheads.

Congratulations everyone!
The movie was so great. I can't believe that the moment I've been waiting for for years has finally come, and thank you guys so much for making it the best it could possibly be. I hope this isn't the last blog *holds back tear*, but if it is, I'm SO happy and feel honored as a RENThead that you guys kept us updated and made us feel special every Monday and Wednesday (and occasional other days.) I honestly can not thank you guys enough for being as down to earth as you guys are. Ugggh. Thank you. Again.
Now if I see it 10 times and tell 48 friends...that will be...uhm...carry the 4...add 7.3...

First of all, THANK YOU guys for this intense blogging the past few months. It's been awesome getting to hear (and see) everyone's thoughts on the movie, get little sneak peaks, etc. It's been so much fun and seriously so sad that it's ending!! I did love this blog though. All of you seemed so happy and you all looked gorgeous. Congratulations on completing this. I hope the premiere was a nice way to end months of all this hard work.

Anyways - I've see the movie quite a few times now and am taking friends again this weekend to see it. I cannot even express enough how much I totally LOVE it!!! My favorite parts were the opening SOL number (so beautiful! - and Tracie, you kicked some major butt there), Take Me or Leave me (hilarious! - the whole committment ceremony was way cute!), and the montage for Without You (beautiful, but so intense!). It's so hard to pick favorite scenes though because the entire movie was just so amazing. It's crazy to believe after all this time it's actually here. You guys did right by Jonathan's message and for that I thank you and applaud you.

I look forward to following all of your careers and seeing what you all do next, as well as seeing RENT many, many, many more times. Kisses and love to you all.

Hey, I wish I could've been there. PLEASE dont make this the last video entry! it would be so so so so sad! Please post more! We all love seeing them. PLEASE! Anyways, I loved everything about the movie, Ive been following the blog for a long time now, just been commenthing recently.... but I loved following everything so much. You guys have made so many people feel connected to the movie through the blog! its really special. a few more blogs? i dont want it to end. Thank you!!! Ive loved everything!!!!!!

PS Wilson, consider it! LOL JK Love you!

aw the last blog? =[! i loved checking back here and seeing a video blog with wilson in it ... haha sadly seeing him in this video blog was the highlight of my day today (yeah i had a bad day :-P).

i have a question though - wilson are you gay? if you don't want to answer me you don't have to cus it's a personal thing, but i'm wondering cus you played angel so well and whatever straight guy could pull off being a drag queen that amazingly is probably god =].

I hope this isn't the last! I've loved following along. I loved the movie!

I'm a bit sad that this may be the last blog. What ever will I do?!?!? I loved the movie sooo much. You are all amazing!
Much love,
Sarah

PS Anthony I really like your suit!!!!

*tear* Oh man. Last blog?

I'll miss you all, even though I've never met you.

You're amazing.

RENT is amazing. You all did a FANTASTIC job. I plan to see it as many times as possible.

By the way, I love watching videos of Jesse, because you are the most open and appealing looking person I have ever seen, and I wish you were my best friend.

Thanks, guys. It's been real.

Rosario! You didn't come to the Ziegfeld midnight screening! I was there and you weren't there! Damn, girl.

I kid, I kid.

You all looked incredibly attractive, I just want to say that. Also, apparently they were giving out tickets to fans waiting outside the Ziegfeld the night of the premiere, and I'm sad that I didn't go. I would have gone, but I was at a midnight screening of Harry Potter. Oops.

I love you guys,
Johanna

Wow…well I had a really really long comment where I wrote everything I wanted to say to all of you, then suddenly I had this POP-UP attack that wouldn’t stop…and so the whole computer basically imploded itself. I’m beyond pissed right now…but I raved about each and every one of you! Stay tuned, within the next week or so I will re-write it, because I really want to be able to tell you guys how much your performances had an impact on me. I’m sure it’s stuff you’ve all heard before, but it’s all true and straight from the heart. So don’t stop coming back after this week, because I really want to know that you know how much you all mean to me!

I just got back from seeing the film for the third time. And I was actually told tonight that I need to go to "Rent rehab." I found that amusing. Anyway...
Thank you to everyone involved in the making of this amazing film. Thank you to Chris Columbus for making the film and making my dream a reality(that I can watch over and over). Thank you to the Original Cast members for auditioning and letting those of us who never had the chance to see you in these roles, experience you amazing talents. To Rosario and Tracie, thank you for stepping into such amazing roles and shining brighter than any star. Just thank you everyone!
Hopefully this isn't the last blog, keep us posted on your amazing lives.

~Jessie

PS--Adam your a stud, and make me melt everytime I see the film and/or listen to you sing. Simply amazing!

THIS HAD BETTER NOT BE THE LAST BLOG!!! ive come to depend on them!!!!
....rosario..u were not at the midnight showing boooo...haha i love u anyways.
i love you guys please plase keep them coming

We'll never stop being true believers! Thank you all!

I was at the premiere. I am still pinching myself to make sure I didn't die and go to heaven. Truly one of the most surreal, yet memorable nights of my life.

Let me tell you, my dear fellow Rent Heads, that these stars are every bit as real and accessible in person as they have been on this blog. So warm, so appreciative, so receptive, so gracious. Almost every single one of them was more than happy to take pictures with us, even though I am sure they were all so tired from the long days of press junkets that led up to that night. These admirable qualities, combined with each cast member's deep devotion to their art and Jonathan Larson's message,is the driving force that will catapult Rent into cinematic legend.
Viva La Vie Rent!

Thank you guys! The movie was better than I could have EVER expected!

I LOVE YOU ALL! And I'll see the movie MORE than 10 times just because it's that amazing!!!

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU!!!

Taye: You have an extraordinar sense of humor, and an amzing voice. taye and idina, you guys make the most perfect couple. Anthony, you did an amazing job, no one could have played it better. Adam: Congratulation on a job well done! And to all the rest of the cast and crew, THANK YOU! absouletly amazing.

<3 Molly

Thank-you guys so much for everything. I just got back from seeing the movie (again). It is so beautiful. I was the crazy person who came all the way to New York from Maryland at 2:30 a.m. to meet you all (except Jesse) at the Virgin Megastore signing. It was a spur of the moment really crazy idea that worked. I may only be 22 years old, but that was truly the highlight of my life. I was shaking so hard after meeting you all & grinning inanely for an hour. It will never get any better than that! My mom said it was the best gift to her to see me that happy. You guys did such a fantastic job. The movie makes me quite proud to be a Rent Head.

I was actually about 10 FEET from the red carpet that night in NYC...I couldnt see much other than a bunch of lights and....the red carpet...I knew what was going on though and I was almost in tears that I was so close to something so close to my heart...yet, I wasn't close enough. I was watching everyone though and I said a little prayer that the film was as beautiful and as moving as we all knew it would be and it definately WAS! I really don't want this blog to end...Adam, Idina, Tracie, Rosario, Anthony, Jesse (I'm watching Law & Order right now!), Wilson and Taye...PLEASE PLEASE continue to do work that touches your heart as RENT did...We, as your fans, are honored to see you on the big screen in these roles again, but it will be a privledge just to see you either onscreen or onstage in roles you love, in shows that speak to you and that you respect as artists. Keep the dream alive and God Bless you ALL.
~Sarah~
PS...and IF you wanted to keep posting on this blog just to surprise us every once in a while, that would be wonderful too. All the love in the world to you.

*dies a little*

Last blog possibly?

Oh well...loved the video. Loved all of the people looming in the backgound too for some reason. :D

I haven't commented here before, but seeing as it's the last one, I suppose I can be a cyber-geek instead of a lurker.

I'm really glad that you all (with the fabulous addition of Tracie and Rosario) were able to come back and make this movie. As a fan since '96 (I was the only eight-year-old on the block singing "La Vie Boheme"), this was my best case scenario for the film and I wasn't disappointed. It was amazing, and judging from this post, you guys were just as excited about it as we were. It's the closest I've come to seeing the beloved OBC; I've come close but, with the exception of seeing Anthony in "Little Shop" last October, to no avail. So it was super exciting and the blogs were great and entertaining. Thanks for the movie! (And please excuse the grammatical terror that is this post.)

Tracie, you are so adorable on the red carpet and you are fabulous! I'm sure I can speak for all of us when I say that we are so glad that you had a great time working with the stellar cast. You absolutely deserved every second of it! You're phenomenal! ♥

-Dana

oh man, you guys are adorable!
Thanks all of you for a fun filled, tear filled, emotional, moving, hysterically funny, all of the above and more journey. Everyone keep doing great work. I hope to see you all in more things in the future!
Idina, you are my favorite actress in the world. Thanks for making me believe in myself. You are the reason I'm a singer. Thank you. and we all love you too!
xoxo
Sarah

Sooo...
I'd just like to ask how it could ever be possible to not like Tracie? (not that anybody feels that way!) I have never seen a cuter person in my life... yep, yep, I was just trying to think of someone... and there isn't anyone.
Anthony's so eloquent... can't wait to read the book!
You guys = too cool...
Thanks for being yourselves.
Later!

I went to see rent 3 days ago. I knew very little about the story going into it and all I can say is I was blown away!! I loved it!! I felt like I was right there in Roger and Mark's apartment with everyone. And in some of the early scenes Roger looks so sad I just want to give him a hug and tell him everything will be ok. I just discovered this blog about 2 days ago and have been trying to catch up on all the previous posts. It is such a great thing to help promote the movie, so thanks to everyone for keeping everyone updated. also:
Adam - your voice is amazing, my favorite song (though they are all great) is Another day. The emotions that you bring to this character is great.
Anthony - you did a fantastic job. I can't wait to read your book.
Tracie - This was such a great opportunity for you since you are a renthead. you did a great job as Joanne.
Idina, Taye, and Jesse- Fantastic job.
Wilson- fantastic job as Angel, I cried buckets.
Rosario - You have an amazing voice. I was happy at the end when Roger and Mimi were together, I was hoping they would be.
Chris - you did a wonderful job directing this movie and it came out so amazing. It is so great that you were able to make this movie so that the people that weren't able to see it on broadway (and for those that were) will be able to see it for years to come.
Thank you to all of you for taking a chance and making this movie.
It is unfortunate that this might be the end of the blog as I am fairly new to everything having to do with rent.

PS...its not posted by Kari....posted by Stefie..moi!
theres alwasy someones name when i post my entry. Weird!

I wanted to go to the premiere at the Zeigfeld SOO bad! I was going to catch a train since I go to school in Central Jersey (RUTGERS!), but the last NJ Transit train leaves Penn Station at 1:45am, so I would've been stranded in Manhattan overnight :(. I saw the movie the night of the 23rd & even though it was at a local movie theater, the waiting line to get into the theater was out of the doors! I just want to let you guys know that there are people all across the country who love you & have loved you since the beginning.

To Tracie: You are a phenomeonal actress/singer & I wish for nothing but good things to come your way. I LOVED "Porn & Chicken"!

To Jesse: You are one of my favorite actors. Whether in the play or in the movie, I can feel Collins' emotions. When I saw the movie, I cried during "I'll Cover You (Reprise)". Being as that my aunt died a little over six years ago from AIDS, all those feelings rushed back again to my sister & I when that scene came on. Also ... I'm addicted to 'Law & Order'!

To Wilson: You have all my respect for wearing those heels. I wouldn't be able to do it.

To Idina: I saw 'Wicked' last May & it affected me in ways that I can't describe. Listening to you sing makes me wish I could sing like that(especially the end of 'Defying Gravity'. It gave me goosebumps when I saw it live & I still get them even when I listen to the sounstrack).

To Taye: You're a great actor. I've loved every movie you've been in & I can't wait to see what roles you are going to choose next. (My boyfriend's favorite movie is "Equilibrium")

To Adam: I can't think of anyone else portraying Roger as well as you. I know people who have been acting their entire lives who can't measure up to half the actor you are. "SLC Punk" is one of my favorite movies & I can't wait to see in another movie.

To Anthony: You're a wonderful actor & a great singer. I have a funny little story that I think I'll share. I was telling some of my friends about "RENT", about the cast members, & what you all have been doing since you left "RENT". When I was talking about you, they didn't know what you looked like until I told them that you were the jerk TA in "Road Trip" who was in the cult & drank the KoolAid :). I just thought you'd like that little story.

To Rosario: I know some people who doubted whether you could be Mimi. You definitely proved yourself to every RENThead. I was a huge fan of you before seeing "RENT" but now that I've seen you stunningly play a role in something that I have loved since the beginning, you are truly one of my favorite actresses.

I was so happy when I found out that 6 of the 8 original cast members were coming back. You guys deserve to earn a wider fan base. Everytime I hear the soundtracks, I get chills. I love the show & I love how Jonathan's message is reaching a broader audience.

Anyway, I'm done rambling. I LOVED the movie & I can't wait to see you guys in your next projects!

MOO WITH ME!!!

*Julie N. from Jersey*

I have never seen a movie opening night but I had to see RENT, I brought along my best friend who I thought was just going to shut me up but he was as thrilled with the movie as I was. I plan to see it at least 2 more times and as soon as I hear when the DVD will be released I plan to restart the count down clock for that date too. This movie is so important because it brings out such important topics, love, never giving up what you believe in and living in the present. Wilson, I know you hated all the make-up but you looked better in make-up than I do!!!! Jesse I missed you on the last 4 episodes of Law and Order last year but this movie really made up for it. Please don't stop bloging I really look forward to the entries.

Peace, and Love to all of you

Tori

Seriosuly, as I read these comments I am about to cry! I just began my obsession with RENT and I can't concentrate on anything else (even school work which never happens to me!)

I saw the show a few weeks ago but the movie just blew me away. Every single one of you had a unique passion that I think everyone who saw the movie felt. Everything about RENT is just overwhelming and I love it.

Thank you ALL soo much for making the movie and bringing RENT to a new extent!-heh that rhymes.

I will see the moovie 10, 20, 100 times no doubt!

Your blogs can't end! They are amazing and you guys are too cool for making them.

Anthony-I can totally relate to mark (especillay cuz we have almost the same glasses) and your role of him just makes me love you!

Last blog..im going to cry. Your all amazing and the movie is amazing and i've already seen it 5 times and plan on seeing it about a hundred more times thanks for all the time you put into these blogs for us it's benn awesome *tear*

<3z Christine. . .XoX

I would be sad if the blogs came to an end, but I guess all good things do. You all were so amazing in the movie, and it has changed my life. Rosario- You are my Mimi! No matter what anyone says the movie was great, and I will tell everyone to go see it. Good luck to all of you in your future projects, and God bless!

-Chrissy

Thank you all so much for these wonderful gifts in the forms of blog entries, blog videos, the movie, and just being yourslelves! You guys rock so hard! Please don't stop posting just because the movie came out! Then what will I have to look back to?

Apologies, I mean look forward too.

I hope it's not the last entry!!! :) I love hearing from you guys. How about some DVD updates when the time comes? Eh? Eh? And Anthony's book of course, and other stuff too.

You all look absolutly gorgoues with those big smiles on your faces! The movie was everything I have been waiting for and more! Sorry I haven't commented but I have been to busy seeing the movie over and voer and over again! I might surpass the times I have seen the show soon. Well I'm not at 14 yet but probably by Christmas I'll be past that number. There were so many touching moments in the movie. I started crying immediatly when the first note sounded on Seasons of Love becuase I was so excited. I thought that the Life Support meetings were so touching and really gave the audience a feel for how people with aIDS feel and deal with their disease. During La Vie Boheme I actually forgot I was watching the movie..so rtue to the show. Take me or Leave me was a show stopper...Idina and Tracy made the Seats vibrate! And wow...the funeral scene and the I'll Cover You reprise was the most touching moment I have ever experienced.if Jesse Martin doen't win an Oscar for his performance I don't know what I'll do. And of course the finally tied everything together. i left the theater all 5 times so far with "No Day But Today" resinating in my head. Everyone did a fantastic job. I'm so grateful for this movie and the chance to see RENT whenever I want! I love you all. Everything is RENT!

I wish I'd heard about this blog before last week, I've really enjoyed the past couple of days of going through all the entries and videos.

I loved the movie, I've already seen it three times and plan at least three more times. I can't wait until it comes out on DVD so I can watch it anytime I want!

I've been waiting for this movie forever, since Les Mis and Chicago became movies and everyone realized it was actually possible to have actors sing (again) on film. I first saw the play when I was 19, Mimi's age, and I couldn't believe someone so young could have already been through so much. I led such a sheltered life. So thank you, so much, for being part of such an eye opening event for me.

You all are awesome. It's obvious you had as much fun making this movie as we have watching it, that you love it as much as we do.

Thank you. You rock.

PS, Adam, your cds are AMAZING.

Thank you ALL for sharing your experience with us. It's hard to believe that this is the last blog. It's not going to be long before more than 48 people have heard from me about Rent.

You guys all rock! I can't wait for the DVD. It's awesome how you guys have kept up with the blog. Amazing! THE MOVIE rocks my socks! You all did FABULOUS! I loved everything about it! The Tango--omigod! So freakin' awesome! However, La Vie Boheme topped it all! Haha. I cried so much. I've seen it three times already. Last year I did my final paper for musical theater(I'm in college for theater) on Rent. I analyzed the libretto and the music...got an A and what do you know...next thing I know, you all made it a movie! And I am so glad that it was adapted for the screen so it'll be on film forever! You rock!

I live on this blog when ever I'm on the computer. Thank you thank you thank you for making all of this possible, I've seen it twice and I'm going to see it again tomorrow and well....I've told everyone I've talked to since Wednesday to go see this movie, and that's a lot of people.

And Tracie....you are like the light at the end of the tunnel for fans everywhere that want to be in the musical of our dreams. And pretty much my inspiration to not give up. I know I've said this a million times but totally #1 fan is me. lol Thanks for everything!

Thanks to the rest of the cast as well, you all are fantastic!!!

Live, Love, and sing!
Leeann

TO THE CAST: THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!
I love you guys!!! I can't tell you enough how much I LOVE the movie. You all truly put your heart and soul into the film. I really appreciate your devotion and commitment to making the film as wonderful as it is. I have never been so inspired, moved, and touched by a film before. Its beautiful message and spirit will forever remain in my heart.

Rosario, Adam, Wilson, Anthony, Jesse, Idina, Tracie, and Taye: You will all forever remain in my heart. I admire you guys so much. I hope to meet you all one day. Congratulations!!! RENT is the most amazing, inspiring, beautiful movie/musical ever. I will continue to follow all of your wonderful careers.

XOXOXO
Ashley

NO!!! not the last blog!! Where will I take my Rent addiction now? Awww...everyone looked amazing...you guys should be PROUD of this...AMAZING!!! I love you ALL! You are all soo talented and inspirational!!!!

Extra love goes out to my Adam ;) only that Bon Jovi thing...was in a word....**Sigh**

I really hope that this isn't the last blog.

Tracie- sometimes you have a way of taking the words right out of our mouths.

The movie was awsome!!! It is hard to belive that one film, one musical, one story can effect so many lives and inbody so many emotions.

As my life changes and as I grow Rent comes to mean something else or speaks to me in a new way. Just this week an event occured that is haunting me and that I'm having to deal with one many levels, I can't handle quiet right now. The soundtrack is helping me get through. I have played it so many times that it is becoming a lulaby to my nerves and wondering thoughts. The timeing of everyting has been just right. Thanks to everyone I hope you know how you truely have touched people.

You did right by us. You did so freaking right.

Thank you again. You're all fantastic people. I hope you can keep checking back with us, post some more blogs in the future, maybe, just telling us where you guys are at. You feel like close friends.

Best of luck to all of you in your future endeavours -- you're horribly talented and deserve every bit of praise you get. Peace.

- Audrey

I really did love the film. I've already seen it thrice. But...I don't know if my wallet will allow me togo see it ten times Taye. I sure will get close!

I walked into this film knowing very little about the musical, although I'd always wanted to see it, and I was immediately swept away into the story. Your acting was so good it didn't seem like acting at all, your voices were amazing of course, and ... well everything was just wonderful. So thank you (actors, directors, everyone involved) so much for making this beautiful show available for people like me who have not had a chance to see it on stage yet. RENT has truly inspired me!

AHHHH!!

I love you guys... No, I'm serious... I really do... You all have changed my life SO much. You just don't even know! The movie was absolutely incredible. I've only seen it 2 times so far because it's final exam time and I also have to work, but I'm taking my roommate to go see it this weekend! I wish I could tell you guys how wonderful you are and how much you mean to me, but since there are no words, you'll just have to trust me :) Or try multiplying LOVE by like 525,600! Oh and Taye, i've told EVERYONE to see RENT... More than just 48! :)

So once again, I love you guys... I really do!

Oh and greetings from The University of Georgia! You should all come down here! It's warm(er)!!

Love for always,
Sattin

PS- Idina, I've been trying to send you an email through the address you have on your website, but it says your box is full. But I want to send you this letter! Can you delete some of your old mail?? Pretty please!! For me! :)

PPS- Adam, I love you

To the Cast:
Thanks for all the hard work that you put in this show, the movie really did justice to the play. Thank you for all the fun clips and pics, it has been so fun getting to know you guys more. Maybe you should do a Lord of the Rings thing and have hours upon hours of behind the scene footage and interviews, and an extended version with the many songs of "Christmas Bells" that would be so sweet. Well, Thank you so much for everything.

Peace, Love, and MOOs

Madison

NO ENDING THE BLOG! NO NO NO NO NO
waaaaaawaaaaaaaa
Ya'll look pretty hot on the carpet

As I have said previously, this moment is extremely bittersweet. For the last 6+ months, we have religiously been following along with your journey of making this film. We would wait with baited breath each day to find out if there was a new update. Many of us went to every public appearance that you all have made (the Today Show, Bryant Park, Virgin Megastore, the midnight showing at the Ziegfeld, etc). We pre-ordered the soundtrack, and even pre-ordered the selections from the soundtrack so we could meet you at the Virgin Megastore. We pre-ordered tickets to the midnight showing. And we counted down the days (even minutes) until our dream of having RENT immortalized on film would finally come into fruition.

Now, it has been over a week since the official premiere, and although we have seen in quite a few times already, we still check the blogs every day to see what's going on with it. We have become so emotionally invested in this project in large part because you all made us feel as though we were there with you every step along the way.

That is why it is so hard for us to believe that this could possibly be the end of what was the most intense connection to the making of a film that most of us have ever experienced or will ever experience.

Rosario, Taye, Wilson, Jesse, Idina, Adam, Anthony, and Tracie--it has been as though I have made 8 new friends in all of you. And I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for making it so worth it to be a "true believer."

I have seen many of you in other live performances (Rosario in "Two Gentlemen of Verona", Taye in "A Soldier's Play", Idina in "Wicked" and "See What I Wanna See", Adam in "Aida", and Anthony in "Feeling Electric"), which have shown how versatile you are as performers, and I look forward to seeing you all in many more projects in the near future!

I wish you all the best of luck in your careers and in life. Thank you for making this an unforgettable experience.

So is this the last blog? That was fun few months! I remeber talking to Anthony in Utah (where he first discovered he was casted in the Movie) October 2004. 525,600+ mins later... the best movie ever! I cant wait till the DVD and the Academy Awards! THANKS FOR THE WONDERFUL BLOG! -dhiraj

Aww last blog! And I just started commenting!

Anthony: Amazing, I love what you did with this character. You played up all the right aspects of this character so he was a part of everything but detached at the same time. I could not have asked for more. Thank you and I'll see you on your website!

Adam: I just got back from seeing the movie for the 4th time and I love the subtleties and nuances you have given Roger. Your performance was heartbreakingly beautiful.

Tracie: I am so happy that you were given the opportunity to play Joanne. You brought such a fire and passion to the character. Keep us updated on your future projects!

Idina: I followed you from Wicked to become a RENThead. Perhaps there's a movie version of Wicked in the works? I'll have my finger crossed. You are the perfect Maureen, you embody her sense of freedom and individuality and you look good doing it!

Wilson: I fell in love with Angel because of you. You made the character so real that I really believed that Angel was a person I knew and I was at his funeral. Thank you so much for all your hardwork, I would love to work with you someday. And when are you getting a website?!

Jesse: Being a fan who had never seen the play, just listened to the soundtrack, Collins was not my favorite character. But in the movie you brought such a life to him that could not be put out, that you can't help but love him. And the "I'll Cover You: Reprise", agh! Words can't express. I've never heard such a hauntingly beautiful song in my life! I just wish you would smile your gorgeous smile more on Law and Order

Rosario: Oh my gosh I have been a fan of yours since forever. From Spike Lee to Josie and the Pussycats and now Rent! I was amazed at how talented you are and I don't think that you've ever been able to shine to your full potential until now. thank you, thank you thank you.

Taye: I've been a fan of yours since "How Stella Got Her Groove Back"! I just thought you were eye candy but you are a really talented actor. You make me love to hate Benny. Thank you for coming back to be a part of this.

THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH!
No Day But Today.

AWWWWWWW this video was so great. It almost made me cry. As you said, that's it... this is it. The movie is out and after following this blog, eagerly awaiting it, and *sob* hearing Adam's comment about this possibly being the last entry, it almost feels like the end. Of course, it's also only the beginning...

Anyway, thank you so much for making this movie and being so great in it... for going on the blog with comments, videos, all the other goodies... for actually reading our comments!... for thanking US!

It struck me how happy you guys look in that video. esp. Adam, you were just beaming! = ) lol

I was at the premiere and also just wanted to say, again, thanks to all of you who braved that walk across the (un-blocked off to traffic) street to come talk to, sign stuff for, and interact with us fans. It was really an amazing experiences for me... (and you guys looked great)!

I <3 you all! And the magazine shoots, appearances, etc. have been great, keep em coming!

Wow.
it's a really horrible time on the college schedule to get this new flux of interest in RENT! (Finals are in a week and a half and I might be terribly screwed :-/ that's what being a mechanical/aeronautical engineer does to you. No Day But Today!) I mean, in '99 my brother did 'La Vie Boheme' for an airband competition at his high school (I think it might just be a SoCal thing? It's where a group of people lip sync to a song and dance around). It was awesome because his friend was a total RENThead and they blocked the scenes just like from the production. That was right around when the Benny Tour came to San Diego, and by the way, was I excited to see Shaun Earl in the movie in the Life Cafe! Ahh and he was scrawny and with bleached hair, he looks exactly like Anthony Rapp in some of the pictures from the RENT book.

Yeah, so I've been on to RENT for that long...I mean, I'm one of those who knew the entire soundtrack before I ever saw a performance...I'm not even sure I really understood all of what was going on. It's a big thing in my family; when we took road trips to my grandmother's in Texas we'd put in the cds and my brother, sister, and I would sing along. We even got my mom into it, and I barely took her to see the movie this past weekend. It was her first time ever seeing it acted in any form, and maaan she was sobbing the whole time! My dad took me to see it the first time, then I took my sis when she was old enough...

So RENT has always been in the background for me. Last year, in the dorms I discovered that the girl in the room next to me also had a picture with Shaun Earl, and that another girl two doors down (we were in a quad of four) was from Orange County and we'd both gone to the same theater the same day only I saw the matinee and she saw the night performance.

Long story short, the story goes way deep for me, and I won't get that much more detailed, but the "No Day But Today" mantra is what works for me. I know I posted a question a few days ago, but I've been enlightened. Basically, I'm looking for the typewriter font that's on Idina's website (and also siteforrent.com), as well as the font that opens the movie...I really really really would like to get that phrase tattooed because it has personal meaning, but if I can't get it right what's the point?

And again...I saw the movie four times and I'm going again this weekend! People on campus who say I'm obsessed should check out this site...I'm poorly behind!

Happy Holidays, all.

Thank u guys soso much for allowing us to go on this journey along with u. THis has truly tuched my heart deaper than anything. You all look absolutely exquisit on the red carpet. I cant stress that enough u look amazing :). Im going to see the movie again and again. I LOVE IT!!!!
Ps Taye. I took ur advise and told my friends, but most of them have already seen it more times than i have. That really says that the movie is such a beautiful thing that everyone shoud experiance :)
Love ya All
-ASHA M

Pleeeeeaaaaaaase don't let this be the last blog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How else will I be able to get thru the 132 day wait until it premieres in France? The weekly blogs have made the wait bareable, and it's going to be so strange not checking out the site at least twice a week for new updates and info.

I really wish I had the money to jump on a plane and go see the movie in the US, but unfortunately, that's not the case *sobs*

In case this really is the last RENT blog, I just want to say a humonguous THANK YOU to all of the people who have made this movie possible. It won't be the same as watching it on stage, but it will be a D**N good substitute, or supplement, if you will.

Thank you Larson family for letting Chris and his crew make this!

Thank you Chris for seeing RENT and loving it so much you wanted to give everybody a chance to see it! And thank you for allowing so many of the OBC to be a part of it! It wouldn't have been the same with anyone else!

Thank you Anthony for having been there from the beginning! Does it feel like you've gone full circle?

Thank you Adam for bringing new depth to One song Glory! I didn't know it was possible! It has always been my fave RENT song!

Thank you Jesse for just being Collins! I'll cover you (reprise) gives me the chills. I see you sometimes on Law and Order here, but it's dubbed, so it's not quite the same...

Thank you Wilson - no one can pull off that little Santa outfit like you can! Can't wait to see more of it ;-)

Thank you Idina, for giving me that chance to moo with you!

Thank you Taye. Thank you!

Thank you Rosario, for bringing Mimi to life. You look great in your skimpy little outfits, and you sing great, too!

And last, but not at all the least;
Thank you Tracie, for fullfilling every RENTHEAD's dream - spending months with the OBC and actually getting fusioned into their group. I am soooo happy for you!

If this indeed is the last RENT blog, I just want to finish off MY last blog entry by saying, again, THANKS A MILLION - no, a BILLION - for keeping us posted every step of the way!

All my love and good energy goes out to you all!

Your faithful (Norwegian) fan in France, Anne-Inger

Well as far as what Taye said, I didn't bring 48 of my friends with me on opening day, but I did bring about 10, that should count for something right? ^_~ I've seen it twice and I plan on seeing many more times. Though I do firmly believe that if I go to see it enough times that the costs of my tickets exceed the price of the DVD, I should get one for free. XD

Y'all are leaving us... so sad... *tear*

No... :( last blog? :( I want it to keep on going!!!
I have to say I LOVE YA ALL!!!! and thank you VERY VERY much!! Without Rent I don't think I can survive! plus if this movie hasn't been made I wouldn't had any known Rent!!(because I've never seen the musical...) I'm so glad this happened!!

Again Thank you very very much and the movie is absolutely fabulous!!!
You guys rock!!!

This is beautiful, just simply beautiful....
I can't wait to see the movie, I'm just so excited!!! I am SO going to see the movie 10 times and bring my 48 friends along with me!!!!

I hope time flies until the 12th of april!
131 days to go!!!!

Tracie, you are so amazing, You're just one of us, and that makes us even happier.
You are amazing, and so lucky!!!
And by the way, I love your dress :)

Oh no man, not the last blog, COME ON!! You can't leave us, little desperate rentheads who don't live in the states and have to wait 131 days until it comes out! PLEASE STAY!

I love you all, You guys rock, You are the best, I ish you were my friends :D

No day but Today

Love, Elise.

Thank you, for the hundredth time! thank you for making the movie, for someone like me who doesn't live in the states, it's really great because I've never had the chance to see it on Broadway. So thank you so much, the movie looks amazing and I'm gonna see it for the third time this weekend! I hope this wasn't your last blog entry! Anyway, I'm gonna continue checking everyday! Thanks again!

I just wanted to say that I absolutely loved the film and i can't wait to go see it again! I think you guys did such an amazing job! The movie definetly touched my heart!

Just wanted to say again that this movie (and this blog keeping us updated on the movie) has truly been one of the highlights of my year. I am sitting here at work with a lump in my throat, because I really don't want the blogs to end either. I feel kind of silly - but then again, Rent has been a part of my life for almost 10 years, and I feel like one of the chapters is closing. Best of luck to all of you in all of your future projects - you will always have the support of us Rentheads!

Peace,
Amanda

agh! last blog entry? i hope not- these are so great. i've never heard of a cast paying this much intentional attention to the people on the other side of the screen! thanks from the bottom, top, and sides of my heart for not only the movie itself, but for keeping us all in the loop thereafter!
with east coast lovin,
~Maggie~

I was so mad there weren't any midnight showings near me so all of my friends (all Rentheads) went and saw it opening night and danced and sang along the whole time even though we said we wouldn't and we got so many discouraging looks from the the non-Renthead part of the audeinece. That was pretty much everyone else. I cried through the whole movie. It's amazing! Thank you!!

No! This can't be the last blog!

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone responsible for making this movie.
It was such a wonderful experience to sit in the Ziegfeld on opening night and watch the movie that we have all been waiting for years to come to life on screen. Not to mention watching with Anthony, Tracie and Rosario's mom! It's something I will NEVER forget.

Thank you to the cast for putting your heart and soul into this movie. Your performances are now frozen in time and will forever be remembered. Thank you for making this movie, I loved it.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Please don't let this be the end...I need this to keep me going until finals (I will be done for the semester two weeks from today! ah the life of a music education major...)! You have a very large group of fans at my college and you all deserve it.

Tracie-you are completely amazing. Your excitement is contagious (I can't spell) and Joanne is now offically my favorite character. I was watching Cold Case with my roommate on Sunday and I swear I almost started hyperventalating from excitement when you came on (I didn't know you were going to be on) which scared the crap out of my roommate. I really hope that you continue on the show so we all get to continue seeing you. Good luck in the future!

Anthony-Thank you for filiming all the behind the scenes clips for this blog. At least I think it was you, it sounded like your voice. All of you didn't have to take the time to do this for us but you did and we are all so grateful.

Adam-I don't think you need to worry about your legacy at all. The entire movie was absolutely brilliant.

Rosario-One of my favorite parts of yours is when you are in the alley by yourself during "Out Tonight". You just look so happy there dancing and twirling your scarf around. And then to go from that to the girl shaking in the bathroom during "Without You" proves how good you are. Great job.

Idina-This was possibly the best rendition of "Take Me or Leave Me" that I have ever seen. And the pool table...wow. The emotion was almost tangible at that part. Really really good.

Taye-I am glad that you decided to do this movie after all. It would not have been the same without you as Benny (what little we got to see of him :-/). "You'll See Boys" was very well sung.

Jesse-I have to admit, I had trouble picturing Ed Green singing. So I want to apologize. "I'll Cover You:Reprise" was the best song in the entire movie. Oh man. I can't even read the lyrics anymore without tearing up. You were absolutely astonishing. Collins and Angel have (to me) the best and healthiest relationship in the whole movie, and the joy on both of your faces during the first ICY can make anyone smile.

Wilson-I'm a girl and I don't think I could survive wearing those shoes for a half hour, let alone 12 hours. Holy cow. And your face when Benny reveals that his Ekita died is priceless. Please keep us posted on any future projects!

The entire cast did extreamly well. Thank you for keeping up this blog for so long, best of luck in the future.

~Jess

RENT ROCKS!!! Keep RENT alive!! Go see it often! Request that your theaters have 'RENT Interactive Performance Showings' that allow and encourage you to sing and dance during the movie; and be sure to dress in character! (Rocky Horror move over, there's a new kid in town) Keep the candle lit!

I saw the movie on Thanksgiving and it was awesome. I live in Baltimore and had the pleasure of meeting Tracie at the Cook,
Dixon and Young (Three Mo Tenors) Concert the next day. She was very nice and I encouraged her to keep on singing. I was really nice to meet her in person and see someone from Baltimore doing so well.

Blessigs to the Cast and Have a great holiday season.

Many thanks to the entire cast for doing this movie..and to Chris Columbus for casting all of you.

All of you were amazing...I can't wait for the DVD to be released.

I really to want this to end...but since it will.
I hope that all of you at least keep us posted on your future projects.

Wilson..I love you with all my heart ..do the website please.
Would love to hear from you more!!!

Congrats to all and Good luck

love Pineapple

Hi Rent stars and fans alike,
In the spirit of "Actual Reality", just a reminder that today is international Aids Day. Those of you with blogs, spread the word... it's an uphill battle, but it begins with information.

Much Love

wow, I loved the film version!!! Such an amazing job by you all :0)

I can't wait to see it again (I LOVE musicals!)

Hi!
I saw the movie at the midnight screening at the Zeigfeld last week, and I pretty much started hyperventilating when Anthony and Tracie walked in. They stopped to take pictures and talk to fans both before and after the movie. I couldn't believe how gracious they were. I saw Rent a few years ago and asked to take a picture with whoever was playing Mark at the time, and he refused, saying that "this was Broadway, not Disneyland." I was afraid you guys would be the same way, but I am amazed by your appreciation for your fans. I didn't get to take a picture with you but I was so close, and just being in the same room was electrifying. Thank you for being so down to earth and for taking the time to greet your fans. You have no idea how much it means.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO WAS A PART OF THIS FABULOUS FILM and for all of the entries and videos you have provided on this blog!!!

I hope it doesn't end here, but all good things must come to an end, but it will never be forgotten, and this (ADAM) is a legacy to be extremely proud to have been a part of and leave behind!

I have seen it 4 times now, and I promise TAYE, that I will work my way up to 10, as well as all of my friends and colleagues.

You all rock!

Thank you guys so much for this movie! I loved it so much that I cant even describe it! You all are wonderful! Thanks again!!

P.S. ONE LAST THING

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WILSON ...I LOVE YOU ALWAYS

HAVE A GREAT DAY TOMORROW!!

HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON!!

BESOS Y ABRAZOS LINDO

CON MUCHO AMOR
PINEAPPLE

Wow, I can't believe how time flies! A HUGE thank you to you guys for being so supportive of your fans throughout this time, it means a lot! The movie was completely amazing, you all did an awesome job. It won't be the same not hearing from you all, but its been great while it lasted. God bless!

Allison

can i just say thank you to the cast for being so amazing! this blog and your efforts and finally this film are so amazing and so true to what rent was all about!

thank you chris colombus for making something that was for the rent fans and not destroying a piece of art we have all grown to love so strongly. the film is amazing.

seen it four times thus far and im taking all my friends every chance i get!!!

thanks you sooo much again!!

I love you all!!!!!
...it's all that I can say.....

Hey guys, thanks for everything. Seriously. I made my Mom see the movie with me over Thanksgiving (my "still-secretly-hopes-me-being-gay-is-a-phase Mom) and she went, but went kicking and screaming. When the movie was over I looked at her and said "did you like it?" and she said "I loved it, I want to go buy the soundtrack". And she did. In a weird way I think she understands me more.
Thanks again.

Hey everyone,
I saw the movie a few days ago and it was freakin amazing! I cried sooo much there at the end, I was almost sobbing out loud! I felt drained after, but a good drained, because the movie just grabs you and keeps you fully engaged. Im going to be a dietitian and I say that watching Rent actually causes you to burn off calories!! hehe!

Ive seen lots of movies and while there were lots i've enjoyed there are only a few that become a part of you. Those movies that make you reflect on your own life and help you to see life and situations in a different way. And this was one of those movies for me.

Everyone was so great and talanted. You all did such wonderful work!!!

Best wishes,
clarity

There are no words...
I'm a drama/music teacher
and play in a rock band.
I saw RENT back in '97 and
got Adam's autograph.
I identify with you all onstage and
as a director of 21 musicals (and
writer of 2) . . . but
also as someone who has lost people to
cancer and AIDS. The stage version was
powerful enough, but the music in the film
and your portrayals on screen(esp. with Rosario and Tracie along in the family!!) WOW!! I've gone twice and will go several more times before it's gone from our area. You ALL rock our world with your compassion and grace. THANKS!!

Movie was fantastic, seeing it for the 3rd time this weekend and cant wait. THank you for spending time to address your fans, it makes me at least, feel like you actually do care what we have to say, and thats awesome. Congrats again!

you are amazing...all of you...the movie was AMAZING, i've seen it 5 times and i am going again saturday! i love you all!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. for your hard work and dedication to make this project a reality and for letting us be a part of it all. Idina, Taye, Adam, Anthony, Tracie, Jesse, Wilison, Rosario thank you!!!

Peace and Love,
Meredith

seen it seven times and every time i bring a new friend!!

omggg we lovee u guyz soo much!!!! the movie was amazingg!!!! <33333

OMG I love the movie so much! It has been like, a week since it has come out and I have seen it twice. This movie made me almost fall out of my seat laughing and I was bawling for hours afterwards. Needless tosay, I got a few funny looks from the other people watching it. I am also planning to go on Sunday. You guys all did a fantastic job! It is my all time favorite movie, and Angel is probably my fav character but I love all you other guys too! Thank you so much for making this movie and I love all of you!

AMAZING!it's december first and i've seen the movie 5 times and am going again tonite! I was introduced to RENT my freshman year of high school-instantly fell in love! Living in north dakota there isn't much opportunity to experience live musicals as there would be living in a big city or close to one. but i managed :) my first live RENT experience my sophomore year-over a year after first hearing the soundtrack,drove for 6 1/2 hours but it was well worth it. Then amazingly enough a year later it came to my hometown,and the next year to a town only and hour and a half away . . .each and every time it was wonderful amazing all all of that. But then i hear they're making a movie! at first excited-than realllllly scared! what if they screw up this wonderful thing, screw up Jonathan's legacy (keep in mind this is back when the only thing i could find online was one website that said it was being done in san francisco and chris columbus was directing it) more news comes out and i find out 6 of the OBC are in it!! and Jonathan's family is involved-huge sigh of relief!! with all of these people in the movie and being part of it who knew Larson-they had to do it right!Well a close group of friends and myself very actively kept watch of the development of RENT over the net-every new thing we found we made sure everyone knew about! and then spend ample time discussing it! o the suspense!! Now almost 6 years after first hearing the wonderful sound of RENT in the basement of my high school theater-i get to enjoy it on the big screen knowing shortly i will be able to bring RENT home with me! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU everyone who was a part of this movie-you did wonderfully fantasticically awesome! a great mix of the original and the new-i couldn't be more impressed! NO DAY BUT TODAY! :) nicki

WOW. there really are no words for how this movie made me feel. it was so amazingly done and i loved the degree of reality it got across. please please please don't let this be the last blog. i am a crazy obsessed rent head and i need more!

Did anyone else almost cry when Adam said it would probably be the last blog? I was all "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Just keep blogging forever!!!!! I love you all so much!!!! Oh and it's December 1st so....... HAPPY BIRTHDAY WILSON, I LOOOOVE YOU!!!!!
B

wow...RENT was amazing. You all did a great job and words can't explain how moving the movie was. thank you!

Thanks for all of the great blogs! It's sad to hear that this may be the last one, I'll miss it so much :( I love the movie, and I love all of you! Thanks.
-Kelsey

I've never seen the play, but I did see the movie on Sunday and I loved it!! I also got the soundtrack so I can listen to the soundtrack over and over. :) You guys rock!

Dude you people are like the coolest stars EVER!! I seriously loved the movie soo much and I thought you all looked so spiffy on the red carpet! Tracie you are so awesome, I loved you as Joanne I thought you played the part so well! Well you all did play your parts! You guys are my favorite cast people ever! No one could play the roles like you guys do and I just want to let you know that we all love you! I made some of my friends go to the movie who hate my Broadway obsession but loved it because it was fantastic you all are fantastic!

All my love,
Melissa

Anthony- Spread the word? Honey, I got my whole lunch table and 4th period class to go see it. Yes, I did enjoy it, I've enjoyed all of this and I thank you all for doing these blogs. How many other movies do this much reaching out to fans? Answer: None. Also, may I just say that you and Rodney looked absolutely adorable together at the premiere! You two make such a cute couple. =8->
Tracie- I love you so much. Your enthusiasm makes me happy. GO FELLOW RENTHEAD! *applauds*
Adam- wha-wha-what? Last blog...but...but...no...*wibs* My little heart breaks......and then is put back together with your smile and the "Thank you"...*sighs dreamily*
Idina- LOVE the dress! It's gorgeous, as are you. I did love it, I loved it immensely. I don't want the Rent blogs to end either. *clings for dear life to her precious blogs*
Taye- "Crazy Rent fan" Yes? *raises hand* I'm right here! I saw it twice, but I also got about 50-60 people to see it, so I'm covered.
Jesse- Not enough people use the word 'bonkers' anymore...it's cute!
Wilson- you did right by ALL of us. The blue nail polish...such a small detail, that really got to me.
Rosario- You look lovely, I adore your dress.

Awesome movie everyone! This blog doesn't have to end does it? What about the DVD release? NOOOO I need this blog!!! lol I love it

OMG, this can't be the last one!!! i'll cry!!! lol...ok, maybe i won't cry, but i might become really depressed!! that would be soo sad!!!

but you guys are ALLL amazing! i saw the broadway show a few years ago, before i really appreciated music, but i remember being in love with it then!! and then when i found out the movie was coming out, i had just borrowed my friend's copy of the soundtrack, and i sooo fell in love with it! in fact, i saw it opening night, almost went back a SECOND time to go see it wednesday (but my mom couldn't go), so i went to see it again on friday, and this past week, i've been counting down the days till this friday cause i'm going to see it again!! and i just recently found this blog, and i LOVE it! i come on here ALL THE TIME just to watch the clips and interviews over and over and over and over.........litterally.

and, i have a little confession to make...to jesse and wilson...i'm sooo in love with the two of you!! wilson, you're sooo hot! and you play angel sooo well!! i just LOVE watching you smile and act and listening to you sing! you're incredible! and jesse, ooh man, your voice makes me melt! just everything about you, you're a VERY attractive man! haha, i love you two. ok, in all reality, i love the ENTIRE cast!! you guys are incredible!!! words cannot express how much this musical has moved me, and a large part of that is due to your abilities to sing and put so much into it...beyond the singing and the dancing, but the emotion as well. you guys are incredible!

and, now, i think i've become a COMPLETE rent-head! all i do is think about this movie and play, and i honestly can't get it out of my mind! thank you guys for giving me something for this past week (well, more than a week really) to wake up for and get excited about! i love rent, and you guys make it outstanding!! thank you guys for everything!!

and keep coming back!!! keep writing to us!! we LOVE it!!!

MUUUUCH love guys, thanks for everything!!
Arielle

Everyone looked sooo great! I really appreciate that the cast takes the time to keep us involved! Thanks!

All 8 of you are the ABSOLUTE BEST!! I LOVED the movie the FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, and FOURTH time!! And I bet I'll enjoy even more this Saturday, my FIFTH!! No matter what ANYONE says.. all of you bring a magical element to the screen from the minute those spotlights come to life. You are the true keepers of Jonathan's vision because you are forever immortalized on film!! This better not be the last blog... I will CRY!!

IDINA: You are of course my absolute favorite person on that screen! yeah, I know you've probably read it a billion times so far, but it's true! U light up the stage and the screen like no other! I can't wait to finally see u live onstage in something... I seem to get tickets to shows after you leave :( I can't wait until your 2 new movies and your new cd comes out!! (I LOVE your first 2). Never stop Mooing!!

TAYE: From all of us at your Alma Mater... we love you to death! They did The Wild Party this year and of course you and Idina were mentioned in the program! You are amazing!! o and BTW when Kathy Griffin was here, she mentioned your name and every girl in Schine shrieked, no joke! Please come back to SU to visit! The Women’s Choir would greatly appreciate it! ;)

TRACIE: I don't even know what to say! You are incredible and made an amazing Joanne! I never used to like Joanne but now you changed my outlook! You are the one Renthead to make your dream come true and you proved it to the rest of us that we can make it happen too! All the best!!!

JESSE: umm yeah.. u on Tony Danza = hysterical, you in Rent = amazing... Rosario was right.. ur smile does light up the screen... Santa Fe was awesome and u and Wilson definitely had some funny lines... especially after Happy New Year! Good Luck on another year of L&O!!

WILSON: um yeah ok u totally deserved that Tony! U were amazing!!! My favorite part of u was when u got to break the lock on the door and Collins said u were drunk and u were like “No I’m Not” I thought it was hysterical! You were incredible as Angel once again and I cannot tell you how much I admire you for wearing those shoes and all that makeup!!!

ADAM: Your voice is gorgeous!! We actually got to see you go to Santa Fe! Your emotion and intensity captured me into every song you sang. I loved your facial expressions to Wilson during La Vie Boheme when you are rocking Anthony back and forth, come on, he can’t be that heavy! I’m so glad you made the movie everything it was supposed to be!!

ANTHONY: You ARE Mark!!!! But I’m sure you already knew that!! I LOVED RENT, What You Own, Tango: Maureen, and I’m definitely sad that Halloween is not in the movie, but it is on the soundtrack… y is that? You are an extraordinary actor, singer, and … dancer? Who knew? But you made clear that it was challenging in Hollywood Life! So Cute, I Love you anyway!!!

And… ROSARIO!!!! Woah! That is all I can say. Now I remember you way back in Josie and the Pussycats and I said to myself, who is this girl? But yeah… You are Mimi. You played the part perfectly. You can sing, act, dance (very flexible), and your funny!! I loved when you were dancing through the street during Out Tonight! I’m so glad you joined the movie cast!!!

CHRIS: Thank you so much for making this movie and putting these 8 ASTONISHING talents together!!

Best wishes to all of you! This better not be the last blog!!! And thank you for creating the movie for people to keep RENT with them forever, even if it actually ever closes on Broadway! This way people can be free to buy or RENT!!

Thanx again,
Kerri

...I love you all so much. *big hugs* Wow...seeing the movie was a great experience. I haven't had the opportunity to see the stage version-typical; right when I become interested in it it stops coming on tour here. Anyway, my cousin, who got me addicted, said I had to see it performed to really appreciate it. After seeing this, I realize what she means. The movie may have changed some aspects and left out some songs from the original, but it got the message across so well. I really hope to get the chance to see it on Broadway(I agree with what Wilson said in an earlier post-Christmas Bells is one of my favorite songs-but still, seeing this movie meant so much to me. Taye-only ten times? Yeah, right...haha.

I just wanted to remind everyone that today, 12/1, is Aids Awareness day, so wear a little red ribbon as a shoutout to your homeboy Angel and the crew.

<3Natalie

TRACIE: Thanks for creating a dream come true for all Rentheads. You were absolutely amazing!!! I can only dream of this experience as a huge fan!!

Please don't stop posting on here! I'm already sad that I have nothing else to look forward to!

Hi everyone! I just wanted to take a second to say how much I respect the work of the actors in this film. I think that the most beautiful piece of Rent is the raw script, music and this case performances. I am a theatre major and I just hope that I will be able to some day beable to bring such reality to a character.

I don't know if any of you guys read this, but I just want to say it so that its out there, you know. I think the Adam Pascal really captured Roger in an astonishing way. Every movement, facial expression, even vocal mannerism added to the character. I was truely impressed by every character and every actor. I could not imagine the movie having a better cast!

And I was so concerned that the movie would not do the play justice, but it did, thank you to the actors and Chris Columbus from all the Rentheads out there. We really appreciate your work!

Jessica

I love how excited you all seemed. Haha, not that I'd expect any different. And by the way, when I first saw the pictures of the premiere, my first thoughts were, "Holy cow. . . they all look so gorgeous. I wish I could wear those dresses." So yes, you looked fabulous.

Dear all,

You all look incredible. Tracie, must say again that you are the coolest RENThead everr. Its so awesome to have one of us up there and giving us the inside scoop!! You are all just amazing I cant express it in words. If I ever meet the other seven of you(ive met you, Idina at swiws), I dont know howd I even say it then.

Love to you all.

I am not a renthead, i've o
