It's from the reunion the original cast did. Much of it is posted on Youtube by the same person who posted this one, though I think it is a bootleg video, and not one that was officially released on DVD or anything, unfortunately. I just love how Jesse says, "Oh, SHIT! I forgot how fast you were!" I crack up every time I watch it and had to show it to Nikki while we were watching the Live RENT DVD.
I watched it with softpaw last week. I am completely in love with the guy who did Roger. Can't say I was thrilled with Mimi, though. Her voice was too...big? She lacked the vulnerability of the other Mimis I have seen over the years.
I've heard that complaint from a lot of folks whose exposure wasn't intially to the first cast. Most of the people I know who grew up with the original cast acknowledge that her voice is big, but aren't troubled by it. It's interesting, to me. I rather like that she's got such a big voice. It works better on the character for me. =)
Of the original cast, the lady that played Mimi is the only one I really can't stand. So far, my favorite person for that role is still Rosario Dawson.
