I can't believe these songs were cut from the movie, they add so much depth and emotion to the character's. The musical is so much better with them included.
Ciara Rae they were. Only the begging of goodbye love was there. Right up till everyone leaves the funeral. Although all of goodbye love was filmed except for the last part of mark and Rogers conversation and Halloween. It was decided that it wasn't needed since the movie was already "too long "
I agree except I see Adam Kantor as the best at playing Mark Cohen. Even better than Anthony Rapp. Now don't get me wrong, both are very good actors, but beyond that there's something about Adam Kantor that makes him the Mark Cohen for me.
@@jacobmccain8794 I think Renee's voice was a bit too strong for Mimi. Personally while not the original Rosario Dawson is my favorite. Especially in this scene, Renee's voice is too strong for someone who's supposed to be weak and sickly.
I love Mark's part at the beginning. It feels so much like my own mind. He's like the one watching everything happen, but none of it really happens to him. Will Chase is also so amazing, especially in this song. He has such a prescence and he really delivers.
"I'd be happy to die for a taste of what Angel had, someone to live for unafraid to say I love you" if I were Collins, that would make me kinda angry. Just me?
except the person singing that line is literally already dying from AIDS and has a hard drug addiction. she already thinks she's going to die just like Angel she wishes she could have true love like Angel did at least if she's going to die young she's saying she would trade places with him if it meant she had what he had and I feel for her. it's a jealousy to watch those you love, love each other so deeply when you can't even get people to commit to you... meanwhile you're also dying from the exact same thing that already killed Angel...
Lmfao the cameramen were on point for this performance! Thats what happens when you actually film the live final performance, and not shut down the show to the audience and film a private performance like fucking CATS... Everyone is going to be on their absolute A-Game, the zooms from the cameramen were fucking great in this film, considering most cinematographers usually frown on zooming as opposed to physically moving the camera forwards. But in all seriousness, this was about the best recording of the final performance that any fan of RENT could have possibly asked for. They actually realized that the energy of the last performance would be unbeatable with the audience, and only cut to private clips of the show when they needed a closeup that would be impossible to get with a live audience (like during Out Tonight, or Another Day) I'm know I'm drunkenly ranting now, but zooms can be pretty chill/funny when used correctly, and this was a correct use!
I've always loved "Halloween"... Perfectly captures Mark's feelings of loneliness and isolation amidst his friends' hectic lives and relationships. Basically the feeling of being on the outside looking in. I know the feels.
And the fact that most of his friends literally have a death sentence. Collins. Roger. Mimi. They all have HIV or AIDS and will more then likely suffer the the same fate as Angel sooner rather than later.
"Love's not a 3 way street! You'll never share real love until you love yourself: I should know!" This is enough to make this the best song you could ever hear. so deep...
Kaisha Q It’s hard enough in this industry for black women, so if you really care about fair representation then perhaps don’t complain about the most marginalised group prospering in a role. I’m Latina and of course I would’ve loved to see one cast as Mimi but Renee was SENSATIONAL.
Personally I'm a fan of the movies version of this. Mainly, I wish Tracie would have sang it the same way as she did in the movie. I always loved the belt she did on the "gave a mile" note.
This is such a fantastic cast! Tracie and Eden have such great chemistry and I love the aggression Will brings to Roger in this whole part. And don't even get me started on Adam as Mark... such great casting.
This scene is definitely the most impacting scene through the whole movie, in my opinion. Yea, when Angel passed away, it was mortifying almost! But this scene really hit home, although I can't really say why... It just.... Wow!
At 6:41 there's a few bars of "I should tell you, I should tell you" between him and Mark because Roger can't just say how he feels. I thought it was a nice touch
+Aerial Dane He is definitely the angriest Roger I've ever seen, and the more I watch him the more I love that. He *screams* some of those lines, it's beautiful! Adam Pascal was great and had a wonderful voice, but for me was harder to connect with, as numb as he played the part. This Mark is no Anthony Rapp but he makes the part his own instead of just imitating Anthony, and he has a really sweet and believable chemistry with Will Chase, and I love the pairing. The whole production is very, very good; I wish I'd had a chance to see this cast live.
+disgruntledmole I think it's good that this case made the characters their own. Like Adam Pascal made Roger numb and really blind to emotion, and will chase just makes Roger angry and emotional. I love both.
+disgruntledmole Numb is a great way to put it. I was never quite able to undeastand weather it was an artistic choice or mediocre acting, maybe it was both. Either way, I'm a fan of both angry and numb Roger
I love this song, but it also makes me mad because they're all fighting about their things at their friend's FUNERAL!! I mean, it's really disrespectful of them! They're not thinking about Angel and the pain Collins must be through... Especially the line "I'd be happy to die for a taste of what Angel had": so inappropriate! Still, I love the song xD
While I agree, I think their selfishness during the song makes this piece so much more raw and honest. Highly disrespectful to Collin of course, but man does it all go together so well. c:
+The Scroll of Songs I don't think it supposed to be rude but to show how cruel and self centered people are, but at the same time it really opens your eyes to human emotion and the truth in this scene is very truthful and impactful.
This is my favourite part and it took me awhile to get used to Rogers passion in this part but if you put it in context of Angels death Aprils suicide and minis continued drug use roger just isn't coping and he lashes out in self preservation and pain. It's sad because if mimi and roger actually were honest with each other they could have worked it out sooner.
this is probably my favorite set of scenes in this musical...it's just so powerful and captures so many emotions at once. the movie has this as a deleted scene but it does not do it justice... its so wonderful.
I feel so sad for Collins he's burying his soulmate and his friends are at each others throats he has a totally legitimate reason to be pissed off and I feel sorry for mark always stuck in the middle trying to do the right thing by his friends and Collins
Great to see Traci again! This is a very, very impressive cast, the best I've seen in a long time. I even like that Roger looks more like an 80's glam rocker. This is the first make-up job that's captured the era.
Wow! Renee's voice is so emotionally powerful. I watched this video 7 times in 3 days and my heart flutters each time. (12.14.24) Thank you! Peace and love to and for ALL sentient beings!
and it resonates in its theme of temporariness and death as reason for passion in the moment .... the moment is never to be wasted. The fact that it opened just after the death of its creator... well, that says it all
It's so sad, all of the problems these people are going through and how each issue is unique to one person. RENT is really a journey of discovery and strife for each individual, yet....at the same time, they all need each other. Mark in particular - he feels so alone, like a mere observer, as if he's trapped behind a pane of glass, only allowed to watch. Adam Kantor makes the character of Mark seem truly real, and I love him for that. And Will Chase...gaaaah, soooo good.
2:55 DAMN! The power in Roger's outbursts is off the hook! Say what you will about him not portraying this right (which to me is not true), but the power in his voice is UNREAL!
awe! This is probably the best thing I've seen in a while! Roger's outburst to the pushing and shovig. How could I not cry during this! I can't wait to play Joanne this summer!
Might just be because i have been listening to sad songs all day but this version, this particular singer.. Brilliant, can almost hear the sadness and dread in mark's voice. I love Rent.
I've had the part where Mark & Roger argue in my head recently because i've always loved that part because it's so intense, i'm watching this & i can't stop crying
I saw RENT off Broadway last year but it wasn't until I saw this that I truly fell in love with the show. This cast just worked so well together and were so perfect. I wish I could've seen some of them live.
I was just about to comment the same thing. Aside from thinking he was just better groomed for the part (Pascal looked too much like a Calvin Klein model to pass as a former junkie and hardened bohemian) in the songs he sings he actually, well, ACTS. When he explodes at Mimi I nearly got chills. I think the same goes for a majority of the cast, I actually prefer this to the original with Anthony Rapp and crew
Demetri J when adam pascal exploded at mimi "gave a mile to who..All your words are nice mimi(...)" I thought it was a joke because I didnt really feel the grittiness in the movie. Then I saw will chase's part here and I realized that this part should've been portrayed that way.
If I could bottle up Mark's lust for Roger in this scene, I could solve the energy crisis. Does anyone else think Mark has a hardcore bromance for Roger?
Btw, Will Chase was so passionate, he knocked the colour out the video
IKR so good
AHAHAHIAUQJ
I never noticed that Collins was holding Angel's drumsticks...
That's okay... I didn't need my heart anyway...
Rebecca Nelson And the coat she got him
Rebecca Nelson same
I know.....that part is brutallllll
It's like that in the film too
😭🫂💪🏾🔒
Rogers "oooohhh your words are nice mimi" always hits me
I dont know why
Just the raw emotion in his voice
It’s all your words are nice Mimi.
I can't believe these songs were cut from the movie, they add so much depth and emotion to the character's. The musical is so much better with them included.
PigPenguin91 these weren't cut from the movie ?

Cut, yes, but they are included as extras.
This is so old but YES. I think that's why I watched it and was so "what the fuck was that?" lol.
(had never seen Rent before at this stage)
@@fandomlover831Only Halloween is cut because of the length. Rest of Goodbye Love is removed because of emotional overload.
I love Eden's "Don't you dare come at me today", nice touch
IKR
I still think this is the best cast after the original one.
me too
I agree except I see Adam Kantor as the best at playing Mark Cohen. Even better than Anthony Rapp. Now don't get me wrong, both are very good actors, but beyond that there's something about Adam Kantor that makes him the Mark Cohen for me.
I think Renee and will are better Mimi and Rogers but that’s just my opinion and my taste, I love the originals tho
Me too
@@jacobmccain8794 I think Renee's voice was a bit too strong for Mimi. Personally while not the original Rosario Dawson is my favorite. Especially in this scene, Renee's voice is too strong for someone who's supposed to be weak and sickly.
Wow...the emotion is Mimi's voice and her face...she's actually crying...
God, me too. I love this song.
Out of this world awesome
Partially because that was the last performance on Broadway.
@whitelighter2040 I'd be super emotional too ;-; what a fantastic run she must have had.
I love Mark's part at the beginning. It feels so much like my own mind. He's like the one watching everything happen, but none of it really happens to him. Will Chase is also so amazing, especially in this song. He has such a prescence and he really delivers.
I felt the exact same way about this!
Elina Marie This is why Mark is my favourite character.
Adam Kantor is hands down the best Mark Cohen.
Will Chase and Adam Cantor in mark and rogers argument was so great probably the best part.
"I'd be happy to die for a taste of what Angel had, someone to live for unafraid to say I love you" if I were Collins, that would make me kinda angry. Just me?
I would be pissed to hell
Jessica Peery Thats a better way of putting it
I get pissed every time I listen to the song and hear that, so, yeah.
Well if you watch this is when he really reacts.
except the person singing that line is literally already dying from AIDS and has a hard drug addiction. she already thinks she's going to die just like Angel she wishes she could have true love like Angel did at least if she's going to die young she's saying she would trade places with him if it meant she had what he had and I feel for her. it's a jealousy to watch those you love, love each other so deeply when you can't even get people to commit to you... meanwhile you're also dying from the exact same thing that already killed Angel...
There is just something amazing Renee does when she sings this song, so beautiful and emotional x
"Perhaps it's because I'm the one of us-"
*zooms in on Mark*
"To survive!"
~ I think I'm the only one who laughed at that. Good job, camera man 👍
I laughed too xD
not so much funny as it is brilliant. ^^
I laughed really hard too😂

Agree 💯
This is by far the best rendition of these songs. The tension is so palpable, full of passion... no other versions were even close!
"Love's not a 3 way street! You'll never share real love until you love yourself: I should know!" This is enough to make this the best song you could ever hear. so deep...
IDK WHY BUT I'M SO ATTRACTED TO ROGER IN THIS SCENE
I JUST
I CANT
I know right I'm so attracted to him
Its the power of Will Chase 😍😍 he is amazingly talented and portrays the character awesomely
On top of that, I also think Renee is like the perfect Mimi! She has all of the things I loved about both Daphne's and Rosario's Mimis.
+AlwaysGonnaSing I can't believe she was like 37 at the time
AlwaysGonnaSing yeah lmao but she's not Hispanic so it's not right for her to play this role
Kaisha Q It’s hard enough in this industry for black women, so if you really care about fair representation then perhaps don’t complain about the most marginalised group prospering in a role. I’m Latina and of course I would’ve loved to see one cast as Mimi but Renee was SENSATIONAL.
I love how you can see Mimi listening to their conversation
@2:54 WOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!! Listen to the power in his voice!!! He is phenomenal! I still LOVE Adam as the original Roger, but Will is really good too!
Personally I'm a fan of the movies version of this. Mainly, I wish Tracie would have sang it the same way as she did in the movie. I always loved the belt she did on the "gave a mile" note.
same
I thought he sang the same way in this cast as she did in the movie version.
I love the way roger gets angry
Danielle Jensen same even if I shouldn’t 😂
man... the emotion is just so powerful...some of the best acting i've ever seen
Best Mimi ever. Heartwrenching scene.
This is such a fantastic cast! Tracie and Eden have such great chemistry and I love the aggression Will brings to Roger in this whole part. And don't even get me started on Adam as Mark... such great casting.
I owe this. I really love this scene. I like Idina as Maureen but I love that Eden plays her here.
omg Mimi's Goodbye Love part at the end was soooo moving....
This scene is definitely the most impacting scene through the whole movie, in my opinion.
Yea, when Angel passed away, it was mortifying almost! But this scene really hit home, although I can't really say why... It just.... Wow!
hitsuguyathe1 mortifying means embarrasing. Google words before you use them.
This is why Will has to be my favorite Roger.
IKR
I love the change in dynamics from 'I should know' to Collins part !
She really is one of the best Mimis there were.
Mark being degraded by his best friend but still try to reconcile Roger with Mimi is a next level wingman. But srsly I was in tears for Mark.
At 6:41 there's a few bars of "I should tell you, I should tell you" between him and Mark because Roger can't just say how he feels. I thought it was a nice touch
There's so much to unpack
i'm not crying you're crying
02:54 holy mother of GOD.
I prefer Anthony Rapp as Mark but damn, Will Chase as Roger is powerful. He went crazy
+Aerial Dane He is definitely the angriest Roger I've ever seen, and the more I watch him the more I love that. He *screams* some of those lines, it's beautiful!

Adam Nealy Yeah it's true xD It's a punch in the stomach every time, though xD
I feel like their fighting because they don't know how else to cope
scott squidley that's also a good point.
+The Scroll of Songs
I don't think it supposed to be rude but to show how cruel and self centered people are, but at the same time it really opens your eyes to human emotion and the truth in this scene is very truthful and impactful.

It's sad because if mimi and roger actually were honest with each other they could have worked it out sooner.
my favorite mark tbh
I can't believe that they cut this song from the movie adaptation of this musical. It was the only one that really develops Mark as a character.
the part at 8:06 when mimi turns her head to benny and mark always breaks my heart.
2:55 ...CHILLS!
2:31 Angelica in The Reynold's Pamphlet, summarized
wouldn't it be great if they added that into Hamilton?
JuliaTheBookMonster a
this is probably my favorite set of scenes in this musical...it's just so powerful and captures so many emotions at once. the movie has this as a deleted scene but it does not do it justice... its so wonderful.
OMG Will is sooo good, but it's kinda hard not to want to throw a shoe at Roger in this song
There's so much pushing in this goddamn number
I feel so sad for Collins he's burying his soulmate and his friends are at each others throats he has a totally legitimate reason to be pissed off and I feel sorry for mark always stuck in the middle trying to do the right thing by his friends and Collins
I love this cast! They are so great with all the emotion this song needs! I have this DVD and still watch it all the time!
the part where maureen is like “you bit my tongue is hilarious” 😂😂
Great to see Traci again! This is a very, very impressive cast, the best I've seen in a long time. I even like that Roger looks more like an 80's glam rocker. This is the first make-up job that's captured the era.

I really really really fricken love Will Chase in this.
i lovee tracie thoms(: she is an amazing singer and actress
wow okay. this made me feel things that the soundtrack/ movie couldnt
I am in love with this cast!
and MARK NAILED IT TOO!he is one of the best ive ever seen.
I didn't know I could love someone as Roger as much as I do Adam Pascal, yet here we are.
I like this Joanne better than the original one.
She also played the same role in the 2005 film version.
Well I'm outraged...the gossip in New York City is INSIDIOUS.
I hope that was a reference 😏
omg
and Rodger is penniless, ha that doesn't mean Mimi wants him any less
Meanwhile Mark has never been satisfied 😂😂
"I'd be happy to die for a taste of what Angel had" that's fucked guys not the time
I know, this bit always annoyed me much
and it resonates in its theme of temporariness and death as reason for passion in the moment .... the moment is never to be wasted. The fact that it opened just after the death of its creator... well, that says it all
This song is the only one I ever want to listen to when I'm feeling at my worst. I constantly have it on replay until I'm done with what I'm feeling.
It's so sad, all of the problems these people are going through and how each issue is unique to one person. RENT is really a journey of discovery and strife for each individual, yet....at the same time, they all need each other.

And Will Chase...gaaaah, soooo good.
I love how at 2:58 mimi's just like "come at me bro"
Will at 2:54 ... That is godly
2:55 DAMN! The power in Roger's outbursts is off the hook!
Say what you will about him not portraying this right (which to me is not true), but the power in his voice is UNREAL!
In the whole thing it's Mimi's second higher goodbye loves that's the killer
The raw emotion is so powerful I cry every time!
Renée Elise Goldsberry!!! ♥️
Renee's Mimi is my favourite
Amazing
She Played The Best Mimi In My Opinion
the line "Well it looks like its the end and I'm alone really touched me.
Everytime I watch this... I get captivated.
The raw emotion in this is absolutley INCREDIBLE
awe! This is probably the best thing I've seen in a while! Roger's outburst to the pushing and shovig. How could I not cry during this! I can't wait to play Joanne this summer!
Might just be because i have been listening to sad songs all day but this version, this particular singer.. Brilliant, can almost hear the sadness and dread in mark's voice. I love Rent.
This song will forever give me the chills
YES seeing this on Monday, absolutely buzzing!
i freak out seeing roger telling mark off about his work! this cast did a wonderful job with
I just watched it on tv and cried so much... then came back here for more... It's just so beautiful... leaves me speechless every time
I just died of amazingness overload.
I've had the part where Mark & Roger argue in my head recently because i've always loved that part because it's so intense, i'm watching this & i can't stop crying
Roger's scream at 3:04 is chilling.. goosebumps all over
I saw RENT off Broadway last year but it wasn't until I saw this that I truly fell in love with the show. This cast just worked so well together and were so perfect. I wish I could've seen some of them live.
So good. I can't imagine having to perform this 8 shows a week. Very emotional.
Just watched this last night, and now I am going to literally watch it over and over when it comes on TV.
the maureen looks so much like Idina! it's scary haha
I'd love the argument to be longer but stroke of genius that it isn't any longer but just just love it that much I wanna hear more!
Thank you SO much for noticing that... I have always noticed when I watch the dvd... I always think go Tracie SO much swag!!!
my all time favorite performance of this song
My favorite cast. ♥
this cast is absolutely stunning
I loooove this version! ❤
i love this roger and mark is awesome
and mimi is awesome to
OhMy it doesn't matter how long it's been since i watched this. it gets me everytime! amazing! Adam and Will are just too much!!!!
The way Mimi was scared When Roger said YOUR WORDS ARE NICE MIMI BUT LOVE IS A THREE WAY STREET
did anyone else notice the "running out of time" or was it just me?
Collins speech almost made me cry. This is the absoloutle best cast.
For me, Will is the best Roger because of this part.
I was just about to comment the same thing. Aside from thinking he was just better groomed for the part (Pascal looked too much like a Calvin Klein model to pass as a former junkie and hardened bohemian) in the songs he sings he actually, well, ACTS. When he explodes at Mimi I nearly got chills. I think the same goes for a majority of the cast, I actually prefer this to the original with Anthony Rapp and crew

If I could bottle up Mark's lust for Roger in this scene, I could solve the energy crisis.
