If you're referring to the TV version done a year or so ago it wasn't worth watching, unfortunately the actor who played Roger broke his foot somehow during the dress rehearsal so they decided to go with showing the dress rehearsal for the majority of the performance and just the end of the full performance with "Roger" in a cast. They should have showed the entire performance with him in a cast as none of the performers were singing full out during the dress rehearsal in order to save their voice for the performance.
You can get a DVD of the last performance of the Broadway run, VERY much worth watching. You can also get a DVD of the movie version, also excellent, one of the best adaptations I've seen for something from Broadway to screen. (You can tell I'm a bit of a Rent fan).
I don't know how they do it, but the same main characters are singing every show in the Canadian tour. That's 8 shows in six days here in Vancouver, twice on Saturday and Sunday. The roles are so demanding vocally.
Opening night, standing ovation from the entire house.

How wonderful it is that you got to see this. I love the music and plot. It was such a particular moment in social history when this show came out -- so timely. And timeless.

Glad to hear you had a good time. I am interested in the version with Taye Diggs (
) so I will look for that version (movie version I think) when I get a chance. Thanks for this good info .Look for the Broadway version for Taye Diggs.Glad to hear you had a good time. I am interested in the version with Taye Diggs (
Thanks MS
EDIT: I lied. He was the originating "Benny" on Broadway but wasn't in the DVD of the last Broadway production. He was, in fact, in the movie version, you're right.Appreciate the clarification
