Broadway | December 8, 1996 | MOV
Cast: Anthony Rapp (Mark), Adam Pascal (Roger), Jesse L. Martin (Collins), Darius De Haas (u/s Benny), Fredi Walker (Joanne), Wilson Jermaine Heredia (Angel), Daphne Rubin Vega (Mimi), Yassmin Alers (u/s Maureen), Kristen Lee Kelly (Mrs. Cohen), Byron Utley (Mr. Jefferson/SOL #2), Gwen Stewart (Mrs. Jefferson/SOL #1), Timothy Britten Parker (Gordon), Gilles Chiasson (Steve), Rodney Hicks (Paul), Aiko Nakasone (Alexi) Notes: Some cover ups and heads in the way, but very clear video when the filmer finds the stage, not many closeups but still a very nice early RENT video. Filmed from the back of the theater. Usually mislabeled with Taye Diggs. |
Broadway | January 9, 1997 | VOBs + smalls
Cast: Gilles Chiasson, Adam Pascal, Daphne Rubin-Vega, Shelley Dickinson, Idina Menzel, Taye Diggs, Norbert Leo Butz Notes: It’s a 90’s RENT video. The cast and performance are significantly better than the shoot (no zooms, only about half the stage from a severe angle most of the time) or video quality. It’s cleaned up so not as bad as it COULD be, but it’s not amazing. The audio is excellent. |
Broadway | February 1997 | VOBs + smalls
Cast: Adam Pascal (Roger), Norbert Leo Butz (u/s Mark), Daphne Rubin-Vega (Mimi Márquez), Jesse L. Martin (Collins), Wilson Jermaine Heredia (Angel), Idina Menzel (Maureen), Fredi Walker (Joanne), Taye Diggs (Benny) Notes: Filmed from the right side of the mezzanine. More wide show than anything with spotlight washout. Full show, and another performance (the "opening night" video) on the end that lasts until part-way through Tango Maureen. |
Broadway | June 10, 1997 | VOBs + smalls
Cast: Norbert Leo Butz (u/s Mark Cohen), Adam Pascal (Roger Davis), Marcy Harriell (Mimi Márquez), Wilson Jermaine Heredia (Angel Dumott Schunard), Jesse L Martin (Tom Collins), Idina Menzel (Maureen Johnson), Fredi Walker (Joanne Jefferson), Taye Diggs (Benjamin Coffin III (Benny)) Notes: There's a lot of generation loss, scan lines, and grain, and the video itself is shot in almost pure wide shot. There's not a single face that can be seen clearly, even in the occasional zooms, and the audio can be muffled at times. There's a constant low hiss sound that can be heard but if you do love the show, this is still an interesting video to have. |
Broadway | July 24, 1997 | VOBs + smalls
Cast: Anthony Rapp (Mark Cohen), Adam Pascal (Roger Davis), Marcy Harriell (Mimi Marquez), Wilson Jermaine Heredia (Angel Dumott Schunard), Michael McElroy (Tom Collins), Sherie Rene Scott (Maureen Johnson), Fredi Walker (Joanne Jefferson), Taye Diggs (Benjamin Coffin III (Benny)) Notes: Colours are muted and washed out, spotlight wash as well. Annoying flicker. Only known vid of Sherie. Shoot is OK, as is the sound. Smoothed out a bit in remastering but not perfect. Has some TV clips of mixed to low quality at the end. |
Benny Tour (2NT) | January 9, 1998 | VOBs + smalls
Cast: Neil Patrick Harris (Mark Cohen), Owen Johnston II (Roger Davis), Julia Santana (Mimi Marquez), Andy Señor Jr (Angel Dumott Schunard), Mark Leroy Jackson (Tom Collins), Carla Bianco (Maureen Johnson), Kenna J Ramsey (Joanne Jefferson) Notes: Muffled sound, camera is all over the place including off the stage, date tag in corner for most of the show, washout left and right. This is the only vid of NPH, but even so, it’s for diehard RENT and NPH fans *ONLY*. Remastering took out a lot of static but the source DVD was at quarter-res so it’s not going to get very good. |

Fairly well filmed, a little generation loss and rather blurry. Quite a bit of spotlight washout. |

Cast: Kristoffer Cusick (u/s Mark Cohen), Christian Anderson (Roger Davis), Simone (Mimi Márquez), CC Brown (Tom Collins), Erin Keaney (Maureen Johnson), Kamilah Martin (Joanne Jefferson), Dwayne Clark (Benjamin Coffin III) Notes: Simone's last. ACT 1 ONLY. A little shaky. Filmed from front row orchestra so it looks up onto stage. Lots of generation loss and washout, but some very nice zooms. Seemingly from the same master as the day before. |

Christian Anderson (Gordon), Lambert Moss (Steve), Evan D'Angeles (Paul), Cheri Smith (Alexi) Notes: Closing night of the tour. This is the audience cam and not the black and white housecam. Shot from very close to the front so the audio echoes. |

Video isn’t great, even for a video of its era. Shoot’s mixed, very jumpy, video couldn’t be thoroughly deblocked and the source has some interlacing issues which were burned in pre-remastering. Act 1 only |

It's not great quality, but it's better than the nothing going around otherwise. Four songs, a reminder of how incredible this cast was. Includes RENT, Tango Maureen, La Vie Boheme I Should Tell You, La Vie Boheme B, and What You Own. 23 minutes total. |

25th Anniversary Tour | Chicago | October 2021 | stillreprise's Master | MP4
Cast: Cody Jenkins (Mark), Coleman Cummings (Roger), Aiyana Smash (Mimi Márquez), Javon King (Angel), Shafiq Hicks (Collins), Lyndie Moe (Maureen), Raul's Garske (Joanne), Jarred Bedgood (Benny), Lexi Greene (Ensemble), Jahir L Hipps (Ensemble), Charlotte Odusanya (Ensemble), Stephen Rochet Lopez (Ensemble), James Schoppe (Ensemble), Matthew Bautista (Ensemble), Yz Jasa (Ensemble) Master's notes: Begins halfway through the first song and ends after I'll Cover You (Reprise). Shot around heads and poles. I'm not too familiar with this show (and this camera) so most of the beginning is me trying to get used to the zoom and trying to find the characters. The beginning is pretty unwatchable but it gets better as the show goes on. The Voicemails are all offscreen because they were too far downstage and the Tango Maureen was too far left for my camera to reach but I tried my best. Several dropouts throughout and I may have accidentally stopped recording a few times. Quality is also very grainy in darker-lit scenes. Flashing light warning for Contact (after Voicemail #4). Definitely not a good video for first-time viewers but pretty good if you want to see this cast. |

Cast: Vincent Kempski (Roger Davis), Jake Loewenthal (Mark Cohen), Josh A. Dawson (Tom Collins), Da’Von T. Moody (Benjamin Coffin III), Ines Nassara (Joanne Jefferson), David Merino (Angel Dumont Schubart), Arianna Rosario (Mimi Marquez), Katie Mariko Murray (Maureen Johnson), Imani Branch (Mark's Mother and Others), Emmanuel Kimono (Seasons of Love Soloist, Mr. Jefferson, Pastor & Others), Kaiyla Gross (Mrs. Jefferson, Blanket Person, & Others [Act 1]), Sarah Anne Sellers (Seasons of Love Solist, Blanket Person, & Others [Act 2]) Jimmy Mavrikes (Gordon, Cop, Mr. Grey & Others), Solomon Parker III (Squeegie Man, Steve, Restaurant Man & Others), Sean Watkinson (Paul, The Man & Others), Adelina Mitchell (Alexi Darling, Mimi’s Mother & Others) Notes: Band: Angie Benson (Conductor/Keyboard 1), DeAnte Haggerty-Willis (Guitar 1), Oliver Dyer (Guitar 2/Keyboard 2), Eliot Seppa (Bass), Dante’ Pope (Drums). Really good phone boot of the closing night performance. A few scenes/lines not captured on video since they happened too far to the right of the seats, but full show. 15 second dropout when Alexi Darling calls the first time. As usual, the dark scenes are pretty dark, but still a great capture of such a small, intimate venue. Video includes closing night speech and hugs from the director and cast. Includes video, Audio (Tracked by BlakeMorley and Untracked), cast photos and program. Never to be sold. Gifting Encouraged. |

Whole show included and action followed well, but not in focus. Audio is clean, although there can be some talking from noisy neighbors heard throughout. Never to be sold. Gifting Encouraged. |

Mics sometimes come on a second late. Includes: Video, Audio (tracked and untracked), and digital playbill. Never to be sold. Gifting Encouraged |
Sacramento Music Circus | August 2023 | Ostarion's Master | MP4
Cast: Jake Bentley Young (Mark Cohen), Dan DeLuca (Roger Davis), Samantha Pauly (Mimi Márquez), Esteban Suero (Angel Dumott Schunard), Jordan Barbour (Tom Collins), Teal Wicks (Maureen Johnson), Amma Osei (Joanne Jefferson), Gerald Caesar (Benjamin Coffin III), Brittany Rose Hammond (Mark's Mother and others), Jacob Tischler (Steve, Mr. Grey and others), Elizabeth Adabale (Mrs. Jefferson, Mimi's Mother and others), Randy Castillo (Mr. Jefferson, Gordon, Rodney and others), Paola V. Hernández (Alexi Darling, Roger's Mother and others), J. Savage (Paul, Waiter and others), Treston Javon Henderson (The Man, Pastor and others) Notes: Mediocre but complete capture. Edited to reduce visual noise and harsh colors, but the quality is not great and spotlight washout is still harsh in some scenes. Occasional dropouts due to actors and crew passing by, especially in act 2. Shot around a shoulder which often occupies large chunks of the screen and blocks some of the action. |
