Awesome. I love how the movie song had more drum than the original Broadway recording. :D More Angelish.

Anyway, I loved it!

Posted by: Jorge on 11/07/05 at 11:41 AM

Wow! What a great clip! I love the sound of T4U better than in the OBC CD!

I guess that whomever said 15 days was contemplating a midnight showing on the 23rd? Will there be one? *hoping*

Posted by: Oberon on 11/07/05 at 11:45 AM

Wilson

You rock soooo much. And damn, you look sexy, even in drag! Usually I'm swooning over Adam, but you're lookin just as hot.

Peace, Love, Soul

Yess! Work it William!

Posted by: Thomas on 11/07/05 at 11:48 AM

Amazing, Wilson. Gah. I've seen some pretty Angels in my day, and I must say... you're astoundingly gorgeous.

I AM SO EXCITED. ONLY TWO WEEKS AND TWO DAYS.

XD
*Mondie

(Side note to Anne-Inger -- I named my hard drive Angel Schunard last year, and was horrified when it up and died on me. My roommate said it was my own fault for naming my computer as such. When I got my new computer [and wiped out my savings account], I immediately named him Mark Cohen -- and while he gets bitter and angsty sometimes, he's still alive and kicking. True story, and one I feel that only people who would frequent a blog such as this would appreciate.)

Posted by: Mondie on 11/07/05 at 11:53 AM

That was AWESOME. At the risk of sounding like a pre-teen fangirl, I got so excited when I saw the video that I squeaked. Loudly. I love the way you move, Wilson. You're wicked awesome and I love you.

And Angel is, and will always be, my favorite.

Posted by: Samira on 11/07/05 at 11:53 AM

The heels paid off! This looks great, thanks so much!

Posted by: Alison on 11/07/05 at 11:54 AM

Angel= best ever

OMG this clip was amazing Angel is the best character in RENT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: carl on 11/07/05 at 12:02 PM

Wow! Wilson your so cool!! I started moving when I saw the video! I wish it was the 23rd already!! I can't wait!

Luv,
Melissa

Posted by: Melissa on 11/07/05 at 12:02 PM

Wow...just....Wow.
-Sarah

Posted by: Sarah on 11/07/05 at 12:03 PM

I love it!!! I have been waiting for an Angel clip! Those moves are amazing! I can't wait for the movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: Kelly on 11/07/05 at 12:04 PM

Cute! I love it! That looks like it was so much fun.

Angel is such a great character. My dad took me to see RENT at the Nederlander as a graduation present, and all he knew about it was that I adored it and the sort of overview I gave him. I wasn't really sure he was going to like it; he's very much not a theatre person, and he's a very, very Republican man. So I was greatly surprised to see that he was crying all through Angel's funeral. When I asked him about it, he replied "Angel and Collins were the only couple in the show who were completely open and honest with each other. They really loved each other, and I was thinking how selfish the other couples were being as they were yelling 'it's over,' and then Collins said 'it's over,' and Angel was gone, I couldn't help crying."

I thought I should share that story, because it just goes to show how powerful RENT really is. My dad is so conservative, and yet it wasn't the straight couple he favored, but the two men, Angel especially. (He also told me he got teary eyed when Collins made "Angel" the code to the ATM)

Hopefully, this movie will have the same affect on others like my dad, bring the message of acceptance of all love across a nation that is so bitterly divided over issues like gay marriage.

Anyway, that got longer and more political than I had intended, so I'll just say "Wonderful job, everyone!" and be done.

Posted by: Sarah B on 11/07/05 at 12:05 PM

Beautiful, it looks so great 16 days!!!!!!!!!!!!
XOXOXOX E

Posted by: E on 11/07/05 at 12:10 PM

Posted by: jenn on 11/07/05 at 12:26 PM

WOW!!! I am blown away by every single new "release" from you guys!! I know that I am just stating what has already been said/written more times than even Benny could count (just kidding Taye!)but WAYCOOLAWESOMEKICKBUTTEXCITING...um, stuff. I am so thankful to everyone who has invested so much of themselves in bringing Rent to life and keeping it growing and thriving. There is so much more that should be said but I don't have the words...

Thank you all!!

Posted by: Chelsea on 11/07/05 at 01:42 PM

I saw this video this morning when I got up and was soooo upset when the comment site was down so I could not blab about how excited I was to catch the new one. I love this clip!!! The choreography and timing in Angel's scene is perfect for the song! I have been really happy with the outcome of these last few clips so far. They are just looking great and I can't wait to get all of my friends together to see it opening day.
By the way, I just have to say the talent in all of you wonderful performers is extraordinary (not like you didn't know that already with the last 5,000 comments so far ^_^) but ya...I just had to say it!!!
*MWAH*

I have never respected you more than I do right this moment, Wilson. Now I must go and learn the dances moves, read: time to fall off of things and trip a lot.

Mucho love and happiness,
Bethy

Posted by: Bethy on 11/07/05 at 02:25 PM

You. Are. AWESOME. Seriously, I love that song, and you looked great. It's incredible-you look gorgeous as a drag queen and pretty darn sexy as a guy.

Posted by: Laura on 11/07/05 at 02:27 PM

Okay, I am really jealous of your eyebrows in that picture.....

Posted by: Colleen on 11/07/05 at 03:03 PM

I love how this song is so upbeat. Wilson, I love the energy in the clip.

It's official, Wilson I want to have your babies.
Hehe, just kidding, but I do love you to death and I love the way you portray Angel. Much love!

Posted by: Joey on 11/07/05 at 03:10 PM

Wilson, you have been my favorite OBC cast member since the very beginning. I was _so_ ecstatic to find out that you agreed to do the movie. Loved the blog, are you are gorgeous.

Posted by: Megan on 11/07/05 at 03:14 PM

Oh Wilson! I love you so much! I love you all so much!

Angel is SUCH an amazing character.
I LOVE ALL the other clips too! I haven't been able to comment for a while, the website wouldn't let me! I was mad! But it's all good now 'cause IT WORKS AGAIN.
So let me say what I have wanted to.

Idina, you are my all-time favorite person and I desperately want to be your best friend. You are so talented and beautiful and I LOVE YOU. You are my favorite actress and I admire you more than you know.

Adam. I just want to marry you. I do. But I realize you are already married so I will leave you be. But you are amazing. And hott. Like whoa. You are so hott. And you have and AMAZING voice and I love your albums. (“Civilian” is awesome!)

Tracie! You are so adorable I don't know what to do with myself. I feel like we are SO MUCH alike. I just think you are so amazingly fun and talented. Hooray for Tracie forever!

Rosario, you and Tracie are THE PERFECT addition to the original cast. I ADORE you and just saw the “Out Tonight” music video and it’s A-MAZ-ING!

Anthony!!! I love you too!!! Ahhhh you are so awesome. (I watched “Adventures in Babysitting” just the other day for like the billionth time. You’re so cute it hurts.) Mark is maybe my favorite character and I think it’s because of your passion. Thanks for kicking ass.

Wilson. How do you dance in those shoes? How?? Oh my god. You are beyond fabulous. Not just because of the shoes, but because you just are.

Jesse! Holla! How much do I love you? A lot. Ohmygosh. I watch “Law & Order” religiously. You are incredible as Collins. Just incredible.

TAYE. How hot are you? Extremely. Idina is one very very lucky lady. And you have the voice of an angel. I adore you with all my being.

Okay there. I said what I’ve been wanting to say FOREVER.

Can’t wait for the movie, guys. CAN’T WAIT.

-Sarah

Posted by: Sarah Taggart on 11/07/05 at 03:15 PM

I'm confused on when this movie opens in New York City...all the ads say November 23rd, but fandango.com says November 11th (this Friday).

Anyone know?

Posted by: AManda on 11/07/05 at 03:26 PM

Ok, it's official. Angel is my homegirl! Major major love for you, Wilson!

Posted by: Thyra on 11/07/05 at 03:46 PM

I LOVE ANGEL!!! THAT WAS AWESOME

_______________________________________________

Posted by: Christine on 11/07/05 at 04:05 PM

You're soooo incredible, Wilson! You have the most beautiful voice and you totally deserved the Tony award. I hope you (and the rest of the cast) gets as much praise for the movie as you did for the show. I'll always be a true believer.

Posted by: Dylan on 11/07/05 at 04:10 PM

Oh Wilson~
I love you, I love you, I love you!

Sorry, just had to get that out... :)

I'm hoping that you read this, and know that you are so loved, so so so loved!!!

Posted by: Beth on 11/07/05 at 04:41 PM

Must... see... Rent...


Posted by: Peter Ruger on 11/07/05 at 04:49 PM

ahhhh Wilson, you are ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY FREAKIN INCREDIBLE!!!! there's simply nothing more to say :D I mean first of all, I'm a girl and couldn't even WALK in the heels let alone dance like THAT in them!!! but even more than that, you just bring the character of angel to life sooo seemlessly, and its sooo natural, and there isn't a single solitary person who could REALLY be angel exept for you :D you're simply magical (and this is just from a very short CLIP!!) and I KNOW I will not be able to handle it in the movie, after seeing all that incredible magic, when.. yeah I'm not going to let myself think about that! anyway, INCREDIBLE!!!

*is a true believer*

Ugh, you need to stop looking better in heels than me. You look great, baby, they should have brought this clip out much sooner.

Posted by: Annie on 11/08/05 at 05:53 AM

Does anyone know if RENT is still going to be released to LA, Toronto and NYC on November 11? I suppose it was originally, but now I haven't heard much about it.

Posted by: Carly on 11/08/05 at 07:27 AM

Oh god Wilson - and I though you couldnt get any more awesome! That was incredible! I seriously cannot wait for the movie! I love you guys so much - keep up the amazing work.

Posted by: Lissa on 11/08/05 at 07:50 AM

Wilson or should I say Angel, watching this video reminds me of when my best firend Ann Marie and I saw you on stage for the first time after many years. All I could say on that day was wow. What I could say now is good work and good luck. Also hope to here from you and to see you soon.
Love, Your Old Friend

Wilson, you are AWESOME!! Angel Rocks!!!

can't wait til the 23rd!!

Posted by: sheryll on 11/08/05 at 09:59 PM

Wilson, there are no words, but I'll try anyways =P You are mind-blowing. You kick some major butt...just from that little clip, I'm already grinning my head off and dancing in my seat. The whole way you do it, your motion and everything is so incredibly powerful and intense and fun and real and ahhh it just rocks. I don't think there's a person out there who's heard of RENT and hasn't been moved by your portrayal of Angel...even those who haven't seen it, like me. And now we'll get to see you in all your red Santa glory...I'm looking forward to being moved some more =) You're such an inspiration!

Basically, you rock.
~Alex

P.S. Another priceless Roger moment - the look on his face when Angel handed him money..ahaha loved it.

Hey Wilson! I used to work at the Nederlander Theater in NY when you were still there. (never was the same after that) Just wanted to say that I am sooooo glad that this movie was made. You guys are doing Jonathan Larson very proud! He is somewhere right now smiling big!

love always,

Posted by: Vickie on 11/11/05 at 03:23 PM

You. Kick. Ass


Seriously.

Every shot of Angel in this clip was so painfully tantalizing, and I love how they embrace every facet of your character. Not only are you gorgeous both in and out of drag, your face just depicts emotions so, so well.

My favorite shot, I think, was the one of you sitting alone, without makeup, playing the drums. Such passion... it shows that Angel's a person, not only the drag queen everyone who hasn't seen the show assumes him to be. Sure, that's a gigantic part of who he is, but there are so many other parts, too, like his music and his sweetness. I cannot wait to see how the movie embraces all of them.

Ugh, this is torture... I am ecstatic. Wilson, yum.

Love,
Shae

Hi! Mr. Wilson J. Heredia,
How r u? I bet excited and exhausted at the same time. I don't know if u remember me or not. I'm a friend of urs from college, she also posted on here 2. Her name is Lilliam.
We came to c the play "RENT" back in August 30,1997, WOW! I can't believe that was 8 yrs ago. But I wanted to say when I first saw u in "RENT" I thought u were great and amazing person. When u played the character of "ANGEL" I was just blown away by ur performance, don't get me wrong the others were great too. But something about ur character really touched my heart. I cried when u did ur solo "CONTACT" it was so moving and touching.
I was hoping someday they were either going to release a dvd of either the play or make a movie. I'm so happy that they decided to go make a movie of it. Mayb the w/end b4 the movie comes out I will go n c the play again. I know u won't b there to
play ur character but I can just picture u there.
I'm sorry that I can't make it to the Virgin Megastore in Time Square in NYC to c u once again. But I want 2 wish u much success in life. I also want to wish u a early "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" , no I didn't 4get. May all ur birthday wishes come true now and 4ever. I know ur wish came true a long time ago. Mayb someday will meet again. May GOD BLESS u now n 4ever. U will always b an "ANGEL" in my book. Keep in touch! Take care of urself! Te Amo!

Posted by: Ann Marie on 11/11/05 at 08:14 PM

You voice is phenominal and the way you work it in heals...you deserve an award! I just don't understand how you are so beautiful as a women and one of the most gorgeous men I have ever seen.

Posted by: Kahsi Knaub on 12/02/05 at 10:52 PM

Lol.

Okay ok, here I am on the bloggiest most beautiful site eva!

I love this one more than anything! Angel is my favorite character in the play or movie! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see the REAL Angel (aka WJH) when I went to see the play
(all 5 times...) Isn't that a shame??!

But I made up for that by seeing the movie 10 times! ^_^ Yeah, I'm crazy. And I'll tell you now, I did cry the first 5 times!

Pathetic aren't I? But I like to use the term... Passionate.

lol.

The other 5 times I still teared up! @_@
But oh well, it's worth having a headache and ruined eyeliner!

That's just how gorgeous the movie is!
Every showing was worth every cent I spent, and more! ^_^

Bye Bloggers! I love you Wilson! lol ~_^

Posted by: Kagura-Sama on 12/20/05 at 06:11 PM

I love it!!! Angel is my hero!

Posted by: Emily on 12/26/05 at 07:31 PM

You are totally outstanding. In fact, your energy is unreal. I wish you only success and may you continue to pour out your soul in your craft.

Posted by: TheRam on 12/31/05 at 02:12 PM

Rent is awsome......I LOVE Angle......u should make a web site so people like me☺ can put rent songs in their myspace.....i've been looking all over day and night for "Today 4 u , tomorrow 4 me"
Love always,

I never thought that I would swoon over a man in drag, but there's a first time for everything. and the heels---HELLS YES. You were fabulous, in every sense of the word. love you wilson!!

Posted by: Leah on 01/15/06 at 11:31 AM

I Loved the video, but it was kind of short. It makes me wanna see the rent movie for the 5th time!

Posted by: kaylee on 02/20/06 at 07:10 AM

lol I'm still laughing because I fell off my chair on another clip... hehehe. Anyway..
I love this clip. I was at school in the computer lab, and I was watching this clip over and over again, and the guy sitting beside me kept telling me to stop playing it, so I told him to stop playing HIS song over and over again, then we fought about who should shut up til the teacher came and told us BOTH to shut up... Such a compassionate teacher. lol

At the risk of sounding like a preteen fangirl with an unhealthy obsession with Rent...

OMG Wilson you are so freaking awesome Angel is one of my favorite characters. I saw Rent 8 or 9 times on DVD and 4 times in the theaters for a total of 13 times=13 viewings of Today 4 U (had to go pretty much across the state of MA too...) loved you every time. I got all the dance moves to Today 4 U memorized. Oh and this has been said before but you can dance better in boots than I can in any kind of anything. Me n my sister are in luv wit u cuz u are so freaking hott...Well luv ya from Z and K
