Nederlander information (heading added Sept 2006)

The opening comments imply it opened at the Nederlander which is incorrect. it opened and ran at the NYTW before moving uptown. Facts should be fixed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.128.175.73 (talk • contribs) 3 April 2006 (UTC)

I changed the introduction, but on the whole a section about the NYTW should be added since it was a very significant part of the musical's history. I think a noting of the original NYTW cast as well as a track listing is appropriate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hours (talk • contribs)

LGBT plays

Shouldnt this go under the category of LGBT plays.

But also, is Rent really one of the first Broadway shows to feature homosexual/bisexual character? Applause, back in 1970, had a homosexual character as Margo Channing's dresser. Sextet in 1976 featured characters of all sexual orientations, and even had gay characters for the leads. Dance A Little Closer had a pair of gay characters ask to be married, and La Cage Aux Folles was about a gay couple and their child, and both of those came out in the 80's. I think this section of the article should definitely be edited out. I don't even really know what you could qualify it as, since Rent doesn't seem to be a breakthrough show in this respect. Maybe transsexual?

Broadway cast edits

I've just gone through and edited the Broadway cast, which had Matt Caplan credited as Mark Cohen instead of Chris J Hanke. But, another thing that stood out to me, is that Karmine Alers is credited as playing Mimi; as well as being understudy for the role of Maureen. I'm just not sure whether that was right? Is anyone able to clarify?
