NOTES: First Broadway Preview. This had previously been mislabeled as April 29, 1996 Opening Night. The files and folder contents aren't being modified to keep the metadata and file set intact. The infamous 'Opening Night' / April 19, 1996 video is this recording as well but a rip of the VHS, note the identical rustling in Tune Up 1. For other markers in general that this and the video are the same performance is a cough in Tune Up #1 and another cough in Take Me Or Leave Me. Listen to the audio and video side by side.

RENT - Exit 82 Theatre (Toms River) - July 31, 2022 (Today4UTomorrow4Netflix’s master)
FORMAT: MP3 (tracked & untracked) [366MB]
CAST: Eric Weinhardt (Mark Cohen), Matt Demarco (Roger Davis), Kerri McNeill (Mimi Marquez), Patrick Comey (Tom Collins), Billy Cardone (u/s Angel Dumott Schunard), Allison Rosofsky (Maureen Johnson), Jenna Najjar (Joanne Jefferson), Chris Shore (Benjamin Coffin III), Ensemble: Makalya Bird, Sara Burke, Frankie Confalone, Timothy Demarco, Kayla Fegeley, Laurie Huryk, Andre Marana, Dora Santiago, Kelly Servodio, Jennifer Shrestha
NOTES: A wonderful quality audio taken from the front seats. Sometimes the music can be a bit louder than the actors voices. This was the closing night of a regional immersive production of the show where the theatre was turned into the Life Cafe and the audience sat around the main table. This cast was wonderful and huge standouts include Matt, Jenna and Allison. The director of the production is the understudy for Angel and does an amazing job.

RENT - Papermill Playhouse - June 25, 2023 (Matinee) (Today4UTomorrow4Netflix’s master)
FORMAT: MP3 (tracked & untracked) [319MB]
CAST: Zachary Noah Piser (Mark Cohen), Matt Rodin (Roger Davis), Alisa Melendez (Mimi Marquez), Olivia Lux (Angel Dumott Schunard), Terrance Johnson (Tom Collins), Leana Rae Concepcion (Joanne Jefferson), Lauryn Alexandria (u/s Maureen Johnson), Jordan Barrow (Benjamin Coffin III), Hannah T. Skokan (s/w Seasons of Love Soloist/Mark’s Mom/Ensemble), Rickens Anantua (Ensemble), Andrew Faria (Steve/Waiter/Ensemble), Adriana Medina Santiago (Homeless Woman/Mimi’s Mom/Ensemble), Liam Pearce (Gordon/Ensemble), Donte Wilder (s/w Paul/The Man/Mr. Jefferson/Ensemble), Sami Ma (Alexi Darling/Mark’s Mom/Ensemble)
NOTES: A wonderful quality audio from the left orchestra. I thought my audio would come out a bit blown out so Act 2 may sound a bit quieter than Act 1. There was also a lady behind me coughing a bit that can be heard in the middle of Act 1 & Act 2 after a number ends. Olivia was very sick, but did the damn thing as best as she could (they ended up having to cancel the evening show). There were a few mic issues with this performance (some not turned on when characters started singing) and a lot of feedback during “Take Me or Leave Me” due to Joanne and Maureen’s earrings hitting their mics. I believe this was Lauryn’s debut as Maureen because there was extra applause by the cast when she took her bow. Lauryn misses a line in “Take Me or Leave Me.”

RENT - Hope Mill, Manchester - November 3, 2020 (alwayshope’s master)
FORMAT: MP3 (tracked & untracked) [174MB]
CAST: Blake Patrick Anderson (Mark Cohen), Tom Francis (Roger Davis), Maiya Quansah-Breed (Mimi Márquez), Alex Thomas-Smith (Angel Dumott Schunard), Dom Hartley-Harris (Tom Collins), Millie O’Connell (Maureen Johnson), Jocasta Almgill (Joanne Jefferson), Ahmed Hamad (Benjamin Coffin III), Allie Daniel, Bethany Terry, Isaac Hesketh, Kayla Carter
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.

RENT - Riga, Latvia - August 14, 2021 (Matinee) (Highlights) (daaesdays' master)
NOT FOR SALE
FORMAT: MP3 (tracked & untracked) [445MB]
CAST: Markuss Rūtentāls (Mark Cohen), Gustavs Melbārdis (Roger Davis), Nadīna Podinska (Mimi Marquez), Toms Kalderauskis (Tom Collins), Emīlija Pavlovska (Maureen Johnson), Jaroslavs Orlovs (Angel Dumott Schunard), Grēta Grantiņa (Joanne Jefferson), Edvards Grieze (Benjamin Coffin III)
NOTES: Relatively clear, if not very loud audio recorded from the front row, with some rustling and talking in-between, as it was my first audio master. First and only recording of this production. Performed in English. Most of the performers are recent musical theatre graduates, but it's not a high-school or college production. Act 1 is complete, but Act 2 cuts in the middle of "Take Me or Leave Me". The audience was very enthusiastic, due to this being the second of only three performances. Includes scans of the programme. You can post clips of this audio wherever, just please do not tag the performers or link this back to me in any way, shape or form.

NOTES: Tracked by hadesishere. I think Hayden (who is the other cast's Collins) was covering for Levi Thomas who was not performing. Not for sale. Never list this audio on encora.
