BROADWAY

April 19, 1996 / Broadway / VOB+smalls / Screenshots
- The infamous ‘opening night’ video that really isn’t. Suffers from rainbows and generation loss plus the equally infamous black lines from HNY through GL. Last 5 min. are jumpy, piano bars leading into SOL missing due to a DV glitch during transfer.
- 9 files, 3.17Gb
- Cast: Anthony Rapp (Mark Cohen), Adam Pascal (Roger Davis), Daphne Rubin-Vega (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)
- 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.
- 8 files, 2.95Gb
- Cast: Gilles Chiasson (u/s Mark Cohen), Adam Pascal (Roger Davis), Daphne Rubin-Vega (Mimi Márquez), Wilson Jermaine Heredia (Angel Dumott Schunard), Jesse L Martin (Tom Collins), Idina Menzel (Maureen Johnson), Shelley Dickenson (u/s Joanne Jefferson), Taye Diggs (Benjamin Coffin III), Aiko Nakasone (Alexi Darling and others), Norbert Leo Butz (u/s Steve and others)
- Colours are muted and washed out, spotlight wash as well. Annoying flicker. 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.

- Cast: Anthony Rapp (Mark Cohen), Adam Pascal (Roger Davis), Marcy Harriell (Mimi Márquez), Wilson Jermaine Heredia (Angel Dumott Schunard), Michael McElroy (Tom Collins), Sherie Rene Scott (Maureen Johnson), Fredi Walker (Joanne Jefferson), Taye Diggs (Benjamin Coffin III)
- 9 files, 2.35Gb
- Audio’s OK. 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

- There is a bar from the balcony in the wide shots only; crystal clear with excellent close ups! A Quality
- 11 files, 3.74Gb. My copy ends after Goodbye Love, but it shouldn't
- Cast: Matt Caplan (Mark), Cary Shields (Roger), Krystal Washington (Mimi), Todd E. Pettiford (u/s Collins), Andy Señor Jr (Angel), Maggie Benjamin (Maureen), Kenna Ramsey (Joanne), Stu James (Benny), Kendra Kassebaum (Mrs. Cohen), Catrice Joseph (u/s Mrs. Jefferson/Soloist #1), John Eric Parker (u/s Mr. Jefferson/Soloist #2), Colin Hanlon (Gordon), Justin Johnston (Steve), Darryl Ordell (Paul), Mayumi Ando (Alexi)
- Very nice video, lots of closeups, no obstructions. However, battery problems in act two so the video ends after "What You Own"
- 9 files, 3.44Gb
- Cast: Drew Lachey (Mark), Cary Shields (Roger), Karmine Alers (Mimi), Mark Richard Ford (Collins), D'Monore (Benny), Merle Dandrige (Joanne), Justin Johnston (Angel), Kelly Karbacz (Maureen)

- SunsetBlvd79's master
- The original Broadway cast of Rent reunites for Rent 10, a one night-only, benefit concert version of the show to mark the 10th anniversary of Jonathan Larson's landmark musical. Includes intro speeches by Allan Gordon, Mayor Bloomberg, Senator Schumer. Beautifully shot, amazingly clear video. An enthusiastic audience and a few flubs by the cast makes this video even more fun. A

- One file, 1.89Gb
- It has 5 chapters when playing on VLC. This video exists as VOB+smalls, but this looks very good too. The file's mediainfo says it was encoded with Handbrake.
- The master knows exactly where to point the camera, the only obstruction is a head on the far left sometimes (barely affects anything, doesn't block action). Quick dropouts but not really during important stuff, mostly because the master claps. This was pleasant to watch.
- Cast: Christopher Hanke (Mark Cohen), Tim Howar (Roger Davis), Jaime Lee Kirchner (Mimi Márquez), Justin Johnston (Angel Dumott Schunard), Troy Horne (Tom Collins), Nicolette Hart (Maureen Johnson), Crystal Monee Hall (u/s Joanne Jefferson), D'Monroe (Benjamin Coffin III)
- Strong angle from the upper left balcony and a fair amount of washout. Shooting is OK, video is on the grainy side. Audio is nice, and it’s good to see Anthony, Adam, and Tamyra together. Has some digital audio glitching.

ANGEL TOUR

April 29, 1998 / Angel Tour / VOB+smalls / Screenshots
- A few skips here and there. Fairly well filmed, a little generation loss and rather blurry. Quite a bit of spotlight washout.

BENNY TOUR
|
January 9, 1998 / Benny Tour (Los Angeles, California) / VOB+smalls / Screenshots
- "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."
