More likely: the actor playing Roger was strumming but not actually playing - the actual music was being played by the pit guitarist. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it,

There was one point where Brennin stopped playing the guitar but the audio had a couple more notes. They could certainly have been lip syncing at dress rehearsal to preserve their voices for the actual show, so I can’t blame them. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the

I only vaguely know who she is, but it seemed to me that Vanessa Hudgens was clearly lip syncing. Maybe it’s marking, but her mouth movements are at several points out of sync with the words she is singing. They had Rent veterans on hand, but how could they have mastered blocking for that set, and

I didn’t get the impression that anyone was lipsyncing, although I’ve read some critiques online that suggested the principals were marking (a common rehearsal practice - singing at a lower volume to conserve their voices for performance). It’s likely they were singing, but at a volume that blen

You liked it better than I did (though Peter Pan is the competition). Totally agree about the unnecessary audience reaction-but could that also be chalked up to a dress rehearsal audience composed mostly of family and friends being understandably over enthusiastic? Also, it seemed like at least s

The show did not go on. They showed a rerun. https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/broadway/8495325/rent-live-billboard-on-broadway-podcast-dave-itzkoff-mario-interview On Mon, Jan 28, 2019 at 2:29 PM M-D November wrote: > I watched last night. For the record, I'm not a fan of "Rent", despit

I watched last night. For the record, I'm not a fan of "Rent", despite growing up in the theater and despite being exactly the right age at the right time when the show got big. But my wife, who's a few years younger than me but still in that target "Rent" superfan demo, loves the thing, and I

Its a tight race, but I think this production of Rent is the worst of all the recent generation of TV Musicals (haven’t quite finished it). It doesn’t help that I was quickly reminded of how obnoxious I found the original show to be. I’m not sure how much of this is due to the last minute problems
