Rent Trivia

1. Which character does Will Chase portray?

From Quiz Rent: Filmed Live on Broadway!

Answer: Roger

He was in this cast as Roger, and in 1998 he also was the understudy for Roger on "Broadway". Roger is one of the main characters. He lives in an apartment with Mark, and at the beginning of the show he is six months sober. He still isn't quite over the suicide of his ex-girlfriend, April, who left a note saying "We've got AIDS." before her death. Throughout the show, Roger copes with learning to live and love others. Other shows Will Chase has been in include "Miss Saigon", "The Full Monty", "Lennon", and "Aida".

Answer: Joanne

Joanne (Tracie Thoms) sings the first solo and Collins (Jesse L. Martin) sings the second.

From Quiz Rent

Answer: Joanne and Collins

Joanne is played by Tracie Thoms, and Collins is played by Jesse L. Martin. This song doesn't really have anything to do with the plot, but it's a nice opening in my opinion. Interesting fact - two supporting cast members sing the solos in the Broadway show.

Answer: Chris Columbus

Chris Columbus is well known for directing "Mrs. Doubtfire" and "Home Alone". Other directors, Spike Lee, Baz Luhrmann, and Rob Marshall, were all at one time rumoured to be making this movie, but it never worked out.

Answer: Goodbye Love

Only part of "Goodbye Love" was cut. The beginning of it remains, and we see it after Angel's funeral. "Halloween" was filmed but not added to the movie. The other two were simply cut.

Answer: Seasons of Love

The movie began with Mark, Angel, Joanne, Roger, Collins, Maureen, Benny and Mimi lined up on stage in an empty theatre singing "Seasons of Love" in unison. This scene was entirely disconnected from the plot, but was a great introduction to the movie.

Roger says this line sarcastically to Benny during their argument about the protest. In the original stage musical Collins sings this line, but due to the change of timeline for the film, Roger sings it instead.

At the beginning of the song, they are looking at coats from a street vendor. Later in the song, Collins finds the coat that was stolen from him (he can tell because it is missing a sleeve). The vendor originally tries to sell it for $25, but they haggle down to $16.

From Quiz Sony Pictures--"Rent" (2005)

Answer: Joanne, "Tango Maureen"

This is the part where Mark shows up at the performance space after Maureen called him for help. Joanne is there also, which makes the entire situation uncomfortable.

From Quiz Rent

Answer: La Vie Boheme

After Maureen's protest, which is broken up by the police, the group gathers at the Life Cafe. Benny is also there with his investors, which irritates everyone because he is the one who had the police there in the first place. Benny tries to defend his actions, saying he is trying to clean up the neighborhood. In reponse, the group, led by Mark, sing "La Vie Boheme".

From Quiz "Rent", The Movie!

Answer: Lisa

The Life Supoort meeting is visited by Steve, Gordon, Ali, Pam, Sue, Angel, Collins, Mark, and Roger (at the end). The names of all of the members (save the main characters who also went) are names of friends of Jonathan Larson, who had passed from AIDS. Lisa sometimes substitutes for Sue in the stage version.

From Quiz "Rent": The Movie

Answer: Ericcson

This is listed at the top of her HIV detection report in one of the flashbacks during "One Song Glory", but never revealed in the Broadway show. There is no solid evidence that original stage writer Jonathan Larson intended her name to be Ericcson. It is presumed that this is decision made by either Director Chris Columbus or Screenwriter Stephen Chobosky.
