That was amazing...

I know I've seen Rent on stage 6 times, including once at the Nederlander, and the movie countless number of times... But what they filmed for the final show is truly amazing... I was in tears for almost the entire second act... I hardly cried anytime I saw it live... Just the angles, and that the cameras could get closer than a regular audience member, did so much for the emotion.

I wasn't entirely sure about Will Chase, but he grew on me... I thought he couldn't do angry Roger, but it really did build through the performance... I came away totally believing his Roger... I liked Renee and Tracie and Michael and everyone... They were all great... Not big on Adam Kantor though. He didn't hit the emotion hard enough for me.

It was definitely worth going... Towards the end I kept thinking, by now that entire set has been taken down.

The end was a huge ad for Adam and Anthony on tour next year too...

ETA: Oh and I don't know how I forgot... But seeing Gwen Stewart perform was the absolute highlight for me...

Oh and at the end one of the original NYTW cast members comes out as well, Mark Setlock (the original Angel, he was a swing at the beginning of the broadway run as well)
