	Tracie vs. Fredi
		Fredi is wonderful, and she is seen as the core of the character because she's OC but to me i can feel all of Tracie's thoughts in her voice and singing.
		Fredi Walker is the BEST Joanne ever and she shoulda been in the movie.
		I'm not going to say who is better because I saw Fredi only once but Tracie just seems more like a hard working lawyer that still loves to party and have fun and admires those artists.

	Rent 10th Anniversary Celebrated in 2006 Benefit (BroadwayWorld.com)
		With its groundbreaking rock score (and book) by Jonathan Larson and a story that captured the current of its generation, Rent is set in late-90's New York in the East Village, where a group of artists love and live La Vie Boheme even under the shadow of poverty, failure, illness and death.
		With the exceptions of Rubin Vega and Walker, all will be on hand to recreate their roles in the upcoming Chris Columbus-directed film version, which will be released by Columbia Pictures/Revolution Studios on November 11th.
		I wonder if it will be akward for Daphne Rubin-Vega and Fredi Walker to rejoin their former castmates who had the opportunity to perserve their performances in the film version.

		Daphne Rubin-Vega - who had created the role of Mimi, the party-loving junkie - was pregnant, and actress Fredi Walker and Columbus mutually decided that Walker was too old to reprise the role of Joanne.
		Which led Columbus - whose casting of the original "Harry Potter" leads was the subject of intense scrutiny - to a pair of "Rent" newbies: Rosario Dawson and Tracie Thoms.
		But after eight years of trying, the "Rent" itch has at last been scratched, and the initial word from fellow "Rent"-heads is a thumbs-up.

		An occupational hazard of theater criticism is that you see so much that you risk losing the ability to react with unrestrained emotion.
		So it wasn't that I didn't know what I'd be seeing here in Cincinnati, especially during those first minutes when baboon/ shaman Rafiki (Fredi Walker-Browne) does her call-and-response prelude to "The Circle of Life." But as the animals from the Pridelands marched down the aisles, I found my heart racing.

		Topics include his early interest in musical theater ("I want to write the Hair for the '90s."), the support of Stephen Sondheim, the impact of the AIDS epidemic, the long and difficult road of Rent (casting the show, Larson learning to collaborate, the transfer to a Broadway stage, and the Rentheads), and Larson's tragic death.
		The last 20 minutes covers the making of the film, director Chris Columbus, the decision to rely on most of the original cast (the only two principals who didn't appear in the movie, Daphne Rubin-Vega and Fredi Walker-Browne, are interviewed in earlier segments, but only mentioned in passing here), recording sessions, and location shooting.
		If the movie of Rent was a tribute to Jonathan Larson, the DVD is all that and more, a moving and incredibly detailed look at an extraordinary talent whom the world lost far too soon.

		When it opened in 1996, Jonathan Larson's rock musical based on neobohemian life in the gritty East Village felt a bit hackneyed at times; now, Rent feels more like a Broadway fantasy about life on the edge, and that new element actually works in the show's favor.
		The two cast additions--Rosario Dawson (replacing Daphne Rubin-Vega as Mimi) and Tracie Thomas (replacing Fredi Walker as Joanne)--act well and with emotion, but aren't quite powerful enough.
		They are eclipsed by vets such as Anthony Rapp, Idina Menzel, Wilson Jermaine Heredia, and Taye Diggs, who of course had the chance to perfect their roles on stage and can also be heard on the original cast recording.

		Older now, but also, as the director says, "better because of that life experience, and the show is not very age-specific."

		Tracing the story of young artists in New York in the early 1990's dealing with issues such as HIV/AIDS, homosexuality, capitalism, love, and creativity, Larson's rock opera was particularly poignant for the time it was written.
		I was nervous about Fredi Walker being replaced by Tracie Thoms for the movie, as Walker was positively wonderful as part of the OBC.
		I'm glad to say that Thoms definitely stepped and performed amazingly, as did Rosario Dawson, who proved that she wasn't just a pretty face (or the best ass below 14th Street) and could sing with the best of them.
