The singing was ON POINT. Some of the best I've heard in a high school production. The acting... left something to be desired, but it's understandable given the age of the actors. Great job!
@@brunabruneti1063as someone who went to this high school I can assure you it’s just a regular public school. I wasn’t there for this play but my senior year we did spring awakening which was also pretty crazy for a high school.
Actually as the director of this production and drama teacher we are a self funding program that relies on donations and AD’s/playbill. No full production co paid for any of this.
I love the Keith Haring artwork on the wall. It feels like the people who produced this really care about the messaging behind the musical ❤️ and that’s everything

the person who plays maureen has a fantastic voice! like she could go pro but seriously as a whole vocals are so on point across the cast especially for a hs production
They way they cover up the cursing makes me laugh so hard I LOVE IT!!! The Mimi, Maureen, and Joanne are phenomenal! Mark and Rodger are spot ON! Good job yall 👌
@@hunterpearson892 I doubt it... Rights to the High School version are about $3,000/ $4,000 and building that set could be minimal is the teacher is smart and resourceful. The kids aren't paid. The costumes are usually there or brought in... I'd guess your figure is a little high... just my guess... not that it's important...
This is so amazing. I've loved this musical and everything about it ever since I was young. This was beautifully performed, the sets were awesome, and all the actors were so talented! Amazing job!
1:40-1:42 poor Collins. His friends were really disrespectful and were too caught up in their own relationships to comfort their friend. "I'd be happy to die for a taste of what Angel had." !? REALLY!? I would've gone off.
I cry every time the without you song comes because of Angel and I think this was one of the biggest times I've cried other than the original production
This was awesome!! I envy your funding. My only complain would be that Angel seemed to be holding back, especially in Today 4 U. The costume didn't do them very many favors either.
I have been to many RENT shows and this was pretty amazing for a high school group! The only thing I wished you all would have done was posted a pic of Jonathan Larson at the very end of your video. But overall amazing!
Good job you guys. The acting was very nice, the singing was amazing, the musicians hit their cues perfectly, and the lighting team did amazing. Good job you guys! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Ya know, when I initially saw this was a HIGH SCHOOL production of rent, I couldn't help but cringe. I saw the original cast on Broadway and many other professional productions of the show since then. After watching this, however, I gotta say the production was pretty damn good. Congrats to the school for having the balls to put this show on. Some prettt damn talented mf's at this high school.!
I’m gonna be playing Tom Collins in my school. I’m fine with everything I’m doing but. I just don’t know how come we can curse, guess that’s just how New York is lmao
@Laura Martin-Falla when I was in high-school we did in the heights and according to local critics we did a better job with singing/acting than our local big theatre who put it on a few years ago

tokoshie hi! Maureen here! Currently at college majoring in musical theater, so I’m working on it! 😅
@@roselleowl7477 Watching this, I thought you did one of the best jobs out of the cast! Good job. I'm sure you'll go far!
@@roselleowl7477 incredible voice.
@@darth_kal-el Thank you!
I can't believe they allow this story in highschool. Not a bad thing, just shocked is all. That stage is so elaborate! Great job!
Alan Wilmit I'm not having any luck. By chance can you point me to it? Tia
It’s a Performing Arts School
@@brunabruneti1063as someone who went to this high school I can assure you it’s just a regular public school. I wasn’t there for this play but my senior year we did spring awakening which was also pretty crazy for a high school.
@@brunabruneti1063Nope. It's a public high school in northern NJ.
This was fantastic! Maureen and Joanne were phenomenal. Not that the whole ensemble wasn't great, but damn they blew it out of the water.
Mimi and Roger had great chemistry! Joanne was talented and beautiful!
oh to go to a school where boys want to do theatre
angelgrace great profile pic
i would have if they showed this and i knew what rent was at the time. i didn't appreciate theater but i do now.
Jeez even with this amazing cast it felt like every time Maureen sang she took the whole stage.
Thank you so much.
Best,
@ReillyWilmit (formerly “Maureen”)
Also, the guy who was Roger is great. Wonderful when you can have a full pro-production company pay for a high school musical.
Actually as the director of this production and drama teacher we are a self funding program that relies on donations and AD’s/playbill. No full production co paid for any of this.
Honestly it’s probably one the better high school productions of Rent
The angle costume was something
I love the Keith Haring artwork on the wall.
It feels like the people who produced this really care about the messaging behind the musical ❤️ and that’s everything
Damnnnnn Roger whattttt. That was so good. One Song Glory holds a special place in my heart. Well done!

Hi, I’m sobbing. I’ve decided to direct this musical this summer. I was debating on this or be more chill, I can’t wait to direct RENT.
Holy shit that set is gorgeous I'm shook. Also yea good singing
Smart place to put the pit
the singing is an afterthought lol
When I saw the movie for the second time and finally caught the line "like your dead girlfriend?", I was like "MIMI!" LOL.
I came from pretty much it. Happy birthday matt Bennett.
Frooooozzeeeennnn 2!
that angel was something, everybody elese was actually pretty good! maureen was amazing!
Thanks very much!
"Maureen"
"One Song Glory", was on point!
the person who plays maureen has a fantastic voice! like she could go pro
but seriously as a whole vocals are so on point across the cast especially for a hs production
@Max Jones Thank you so much! I am a theatre performance major in college and I am “going pro.”
@@ReillyWilmit if you mean NY broadway that sounds cool
@@maxjones6799 Yes I do!
Ooooo Maureen.... love her voice
Thanks so much! If you are interested, subscribe to my UA-cam channel (search for “Reilly Wilmit” on UA-cam).
This is a great production of one of my favorite shows
They way they cover up the cursing makes me laugh so hard I LOVE IT!!! The Mimi, Maureen, and Joanne are phenomenal! Mark and Rodger are spot ON! Good job yall 👌
Who played Mark? Great voice and look!
Colin Colchamiro, now a student at American University --
That awkward moment when this random high school version (production cost no more than $5,000) was better than RENT live (production cost $millions)
Cassie Williams this costed easily 15k to 20k
You did not not just say that.

@@iwannabuyaduck60 Oh... only the truth
you are spot on.... the live version was really bad....
I can’t get over how literally EVERY SINGLE ONE of them is so good at singing
Watching this after watching rent live on fox and the girl who plays Joanne is spot on with the voice!
1:25:39 is take me or leave me (:
Legend
Olivia Hall thank you
omg THANK YOU
That was extraordinary
these people are GREAT! Fantastic job!
That was awesome! The singing was amazing, especially for a high school production
Thank you
The best rendition of Rent by a high school ever!
This is so amazing. I've loved this musical and everything about it ever since I was young. This was beautifully performed, the sets were awesome, and all the actors were so talented! Amazing job!
THE SET AHHHHH!! IN MY FRICKEN DREAMS
This is absolutely incredible. Making a note of Mark for sure, he is going to be BIG!
The dialogue is slightly off key and fast paced but other than that, it’s great. The actors are even moving around the set
1:40-1:42 poor Collins. His friends were really disrespectful and were too caught up in their own relationships to comfort their friend. "I'd be happy to die for a taste of what Angel had." !? REALLY!? I would've gone off.
Do you mean 1:00:40 to 1:00:42
I cry every time the without you song comes because of Angel and I think this was one of the biggest times I've cried other than the original production
1:44:05 gave me chills, mark's line was on point on both vocals and emotion
This was awesome!! I envy your funding. My only complain would be that Angel seemed to be holding back, especially in Today 4 U. The costume didn't do them very many favors either.
Weird...my mom went to school here and I was looking for high school productions of Rent and Tenafly High's is one of the first ones to show up
That moment when an high school production is better than rent live on fox
😂
Nah
Give it a break. It was dress rehearsal because one of the actors broke their foot. It was never meant to be seen.
I have been to many RENT shows and this was pretty amazing for a high school group! The only thing I wished you all would have done was posted a pic of Jonathan Larson at the very end of your video. But overall amazing!
Good job you guys. The acting was very nice, the singing was amazing, the musicians hit their cues perfectly, and the lighting team did amazing. Good job you guys! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I just saw a community theater production of the show and the vocals were so good!!!
better than most high school performances.
I REALLY enjoyed this.
Wow! So good!!!!!! Great jobs guys!!!
I wish my local high school did this show. I've seen Rent 8 times.
Why haven’t I seen this sooner this is SO GOOD
These young people are freaking amazing! Joanne....incredible!
Amazing Job!!
*Now this puts a smile on my face*
Everybody was great I love how they have the pit orchestra on stage under the set normally they are just in front of the stage.
Amazing. Beautiful
This is unreal!

Is there a cast list? Want to keep a watch on these kids. They are all going to have bright futures.
I cried at I'll cover you reprise.....................I'll be there.......WAAAAAA
8:22 gave me goosebumps
I felt some lines were rushed. Especially Marks at the beginning
The roger singing skill is on point but the acting..........
Disagree. As a director. The kid has acting talent. Would definitely cast.
WOAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH EXCUSE ME DUDE WHO PLAYS COLLINS WHO GAVE U THE RIGHT TO BE SOO FRICKING GOOD AT SINGING
This performance is really good. I wish they didn’t cut out Contact aka Angel’s Death.
awesome
I’m gonna be playing Tom Collins in my school. I’m fine with everything I’m doing but. I just don’t know how come we can curse, guess that’s just how New York is lmao
good luck👍👍
Great job kids
Is this the high school version, or the full version
The high school version
Rodger 🤩🤩
That hug at 1:50:08. Oh my god, the feels!!!
what does she say at 0:16 everyone laughed but i couldn’t hear her
Pretty Much It sent me here
1:13:17 “A small lovely kiss”
S tier band
Guess there's not gonna be a talk back
At the start when Mark comes out, the rest of the cast should be running out with him. At least thats how it was done on Broadway.
Different productions do it differently. The Australian production Mark records Roger singing One Song Glory and sends it to a record label.
Everyone was great, however, there´s a little bit of a lack of energy.
No POCs is crazy lmao
collins is great
1:41:40 holy shit Roger chill
the singing is freaking awesome but the acting is like....meh...just meh
Jana Scepkova Vice versa
@Laura Martin-Falla when I was in high-school we did in the heights and according to local critics we did a better job with singing/acting than our local big theatre who put it on a few years ago
Both were good.
Mimi best by far.
Yikes mimi
1:16:04
They cut a lot of the songs short
Light My Candle was better than Broadway. Wow. Mimi was awesome
.....no it was not
actors need to pick a verb and stick with it
otherwise fantastic
The set is nice. The costumes however.......
Rent is based in the 80s...........
@@GreenBanana675 yeah but many of them don't scream "RENT"
@@mateokunzer they do scream RENT
oof the mark isn't amazing
Yea he is.
1:20:04
oof the mark isn't amazing
Wrong.
