Notes: The performance was filmed in its entirety for the pro-shot, though additional footage was shot for that too. Millie fails to catch the phone thrown to her during Happy New Year A, and it breaks into pieces on the floor, hence the laughter then.

video, by date (15)
- Rent | January, 1996 (Highlights) | Off-Broadway | VOB + smalls - 80 min Version | 7 files; 1.38 GB
Notes: Approx 80 mins of press reels. Some versions in circulation are 20.
- Rent | April 19, 1996 (Preview) | Broadway | VOB + smalls | 9 files; 3.17 GB
Notes: 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.
- Rent | September 5, 1999 (Closing Night) | Angel Tour | VOB + smalls - Audience Cam | 17 files; 5.87 GB
Notes: Yes, there really are three different videos from this performance. MASSIVE upgrade, this now looks pretty good. This is the audience cam and not the black and white housecam. Shot from very close to the front so the audio echoes. TV clips at the end.
- Rent | September 11, 1999 (Highlights) | Broadway | VOB + smalls | 9 files; 2.35 GB
Notes: 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
- Rent | April 24, 2006 | Broadway | VOB + smalls | 9 files; 3.9 GB
- master: SunSetBlvd79
Notes: 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

- Rent | September 7, 2008 (Closing Night) | Broadway | .mp4 | 1 file; 2.9 GB

- Rent | January 10, 2009 (Matinee) | Mark Tour | VOB + smalls | 12 files; 4.04 GB
- master: SunSetBlvd79
Notes: Good capture of this solid tour. Video is complete, although missing the last minute of act one; some blackouts but not too bad; full stage shots the railing of the mezzanine can be seen; nice capture with amazing closeups.
- Rent | February 4, 2009 | Mark Tour | VOB + smalls | 11 files; 4.14 GB
- master: SunSetBlvd79
Notes: Missing the last minute of act one. Some rail and head, but generally well shot and a good preservation of the farewell tour.

Notes: Well shot video of the post-Broadway tour. Amusing to see Rapp’s thinning hair.

Notes: Good shoot and a/v quality.
