RENT | Broadway | 7/24/97 | WMV
Cast: Anthony Rapp (Mark), Adam Pascal (Roger), Marcy Harriell (Mimi), Michael McElroy (Collins), Wilson Jermaine Heredia (Angel), Sherie Rene Scott (Maureen), Fredi Walker (Joanne), Taye Diggs (Benny).
Notes: Broadway at the Nederlander. Video is not clear, although you can recognize each person by their voice if not their costume as the audio is excellent. No problems that I know of.

RENT | Benny Tour | 1/9/98 | VOB
Rating: B-
Cast: Neil Patrick Harris (Mark)
Notes: The Benny Tour. Audio is excellent although the camera has a strong tendency to turn to the ceiling. Video is good considering its age, and clearly came from a VHS-type camera. Act 1 only (to the end of La Vie Boheme).
NFT with rare exceptions.

RENT | 5th Anniversary | 5/06/01 | WMV
Cast: Adam Pascal, Anthony Rapp, Taye Diggs, Idina Menzel, Gilles Chiasson, Wilson Jermaine Heredia, Rodney Hicks, Kristen Lee Kelly, Jesse L. Martin, Aiko Nakasone, Timothy Britten Parker, Daphne Rubin-Vega, Gwen Stewart, Byron Utley, Fredi Walker-Browne.
Notes: Done concert-style from what I can tell. Part of the right side of the video is obscured for the majority of the time, but the audio is excellent. Video isn't amazing but is still clear enough to see faces and expressions. Includes what seems to be one or two encores after the show.

RENT | 10th anniversary | 4/24/06 | VOB
Cast: Adam Pascal, Anthony Rapp, Taye Diggs, Idina Menzel, Gilles Chiasson, Wilson Jermaine Heredia, Rodney Hicks, Kristen Lee Kelly, Jesse L. Martin, Aiko Nakasone, Timothy Britten Parker, Daphne Rubin-Vega, Gwen Stewart, Byron Utley, and Fredi Walker-Browne.
Notes: The OBC reunites for 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, nothing obscuring the show, and great closeups even if the video isn't too sharp. An enthusiastic audience and a few flubs by the cast makes this video even more fun.

RENT | 6/28/08 | VOB
Rating: B-
Cast: Adam Kantor, Will Chase, Justin Johnson (Angel), Eden Espinosa (Maureen)
Notes: Some shakiness (non-focused) and a few blackouts, but overall quite good. Very good quality video (for what appears to be camcorder recording), good audio (slightly echo-y), and very good clear closeups. Video blacks out a little at the final song and then turns sideways right before Angel rejoins cast. Video ends at the very end of the song.
