Personally, I think both Adam Pascal and Will Chase are amazing as Roger. Also they are difficult to compare because they represent the character in two very different ways. While Adam plays him as a more sad and somewhat soft and vulnerable character, Will portrays him as very angry at the world and aggressive. So i also think it's unfair to compare them since both are amazing in different ways.
I wish people have Will Chase more credit, despite not being in the original cast. Adam Pascal was and always will be phenomenal as Roger, but this is my absolute favorite version of this song.
Man, he's such a good Roger! It's like every thing he accentuates he does it right, not too cheesy but not lacking emotion either...it's actually perfect.
I was prepared to not like them because of some of the comments; I should have known better! They are awesome! I would love to have seen their entire cast production. Great chemistry too!
He's like: ROGER, frustrated, After playing a failed version of Musetta's waltz from La Boheme, on guitar Roger: Ugh! Whatever. I'll just sing this other aria instead.
HDDude1981 That's the beautiful irony of it - so focused on a glorious ideal that he can't see the most honest and magnificent expressions come from the life around him.
I like this version of one song glory way more than Adam pascal’s, when he did it his voice was too whiny and air-y? If that makes sense. And in this version his voice is Angry and desperate and it captures the song perfectly
its your sheet music that's wrong then mate. if it helps, the chords for the start are F#, D#m, B, C#m, D#m that might help you figure out which one is right and wrong etc. (bare in mind, some directors choose to lower some bits... so thats why some will be different... what i've given you was the original Key
Do they lower the keys of the songs when live performance? The music sheet I have of One Glory even goes to a fricking A! I am still trying to order this Rent Filmed Live on Broadway on Blu-Ray. I want an original copy!
This and Les Mis needs to get back on Broadway and STAY THERE! Get King Kong off and Spongebob (I don’t like that musical, I’m sorry) right now I swear.
Will Chase always looks pretty aggressive and energetic, either in Miss Saigon as Chris or in this. However, neither of the two characters are supposed to be like that....this Roger's acceptable anyway, Adam's better
Adam Pascal is a bit better on vocals, but Will Chase acts the role MUCH better than Adam, in my opinion. Overall, I prefer Will. It's a close call, though.
KingJ Ahh I see. Have you seen daphne Rubin Vega? I'm not a huge fan of her acting in rent, but I love a lot of aspects about her portrayal of Mimi. If that makes any sense lol.
KingJ imo, (if i'm correct, wasn't she a former heroin addict?) she was perfect for the part in the aspect that her actions are extremely drug induced. And so its extremely believable, to me at least, that shes a drug addict (talking about her portrayal of Mimi) My least favorite is Rosario, just because I prefer Renee over her aha.

When he sings "And then no need to endure anymore!" at the end oh my God. Chills.

Yeah I prefer Chase's voice. This is great
Jenna Blayke
Did will chase also play the guy in miss saigon?
yeah
NIRVANA thx i was curious about that
I like the performance
Wow...Will Chase acts the CRAP out of this song! He's mesmerizing. His performance never fails to make me tear up (Adam Pascal's vocals do the same!).
Man, he's such a good Roger! It's like every thing he accentuates he does it right, not too cheesy but not lacking emotion either...it's actually perfect.
I have nothing but respect for this man.
I can't stop watching this, "He had the world at his feet, glory, in the eyes of a young girl, a young girl"
Why is everyone hating on will chase and Renee Elise goldsberry they're so good!
I saw NPH play Mark in RENT, years ago when I lived in LA. He was terrific.
God, Will Chase is so good
i know it has subtitles but im never gonna get over ¡¡GLORIA!!
He is AMAZING here, so much power and emotion in his voice, seriously it makes me all tingily on the inside.
Anyone else LOL when she goes "whaaat!?" with crazy eyes... lol
This is THE BEST performance of this song !! I prefer it 1000 times more that the movie !!!!!!! he is amazing!!!
Um dos melhores musicais que já vi na vida!!! E este elenco é simplesmente sensacional!!!!!!!!
I watched the Toronto cast and couldn't stop crying!!! It is a musical that had soul! I love Rent!
damn. they are amazing. dude has some pipes...fuck, man...you're amazing!
The slide on "glory" is fucking gorgeous.
I was prepared to not like them because of some of the comments; I should have known better! They are awesome! I would love to have seen their entire cast production. Great chemistry too!
Hands down my favorite cast. So much passion being sung by Will
Grandiosas las canciones, sobre todo cuando conoces el transfondo de todo el musical ^^
Roger y Mimi son dos personajes cojonudos!
this is the best roger ever
His (Roger's) voice is so good!
I will not ever forgive myself for losing this DVD. I HAD THE BROADWAY AND I LOST IT!!!!
omg I will always love renee
Will Chase you give me chills
He's like:
ROGER, frustrated, After playing a failed version of Musetta's waltz from La Boheme, on guitar
Roger: Ugh! Whatever. I'll just sing this other aria instead.
HDDude1981 That's the beautiful irony of it - so focused on a glorious ideal that he can't see the most honest and magnificent expressions come from the life around him.
I personally like Will's portrayal of Roger the best. The perfect amount of character and energy.
it's been a week since I've seen Rent live...I'm still not over it. Help me.
Allison Frost gonna be a long while hahaha
Will seems to know what he's singing about sooo well... his interpretation is so true!
son los maximo esas canciones
Will Chase is my favourite Roger. So much passion.
This song makes me cry EVERY TIME
Yes he is!
His expression is just
amazing...
i honestly like this cast better than the movie cast even though both are pretty good I love rent!
I saw this. Incredible
I saw this in rehearsals, I miss NYC
Yeah...yeah. Will Chase. So Amazing. Do you HEAR that fantastic woman he is singing with?!
I miss Rent sooo much.tear.
The 2nd BEST Roger, EVER👍
3:34 wow, just wow
SO... this has been up for 4 1/2 years and no one's called that 1800 number, huh?
Well, I see youtube got the message:
...snitches get stitches.
It's a great song.
excelente
I love it
Oooo ! Great new song for karaoke.
I think Will is very close to Adam..cause both they feel their roles situations when they act..!!!
the captions at one point say truth like a llama rather than saying truth like a blazing fire...
I like this version of one song glory way more than Adam pascal’s, when he did it his voice was too whiny and air-y? If that makes sense. And in this version his voice is Angry and desperate and it captures the song perfectly
holy fuck, THAT'S the backstory?!
His voice is like butter
He is genius!!
Brilliant End Of
its your sheet music that's wrong then mate.
if it helps, the chords for the start are F#, D#m, B, C#m, D#m
that might help you figure out which one is right and wrong etc.
(bare in mind, some directors choose to lower some bits... so thats why some will be different... what i've given you was the original Key
And my name is Glory 0.0(not even kidden its just Glory)
who is this playing roger? i really like his voice. lol
The other commenters are saying it's Will Chase.
chills
Do they lower the keys of the songs when live performance? The music sheet I have of One Glory even goes to a fricking A! I am still trying to order this Rent Filmed Live on Broadway on Blu-Ray. I want an original copy!
@HorsesandTennisGirl He dosen't say 'My name is glory'?
You people obviously don't know who Adam Pascal is
he is good.... but Adam will FOREVER be the BEST Roger.
I love mimis voice but her facial expressions are just plain crazy.
Get. Back. On. Broadway.
the girl that singing was on one life to live the soap
Will Chase IS Roger.!
NOW!!!!
Roger: *hits his guitar* Ah!
Me: Ahhhhh!
He's the best doing this.
Eh, somehow it breaks the spell when she knocks on the "door" and rings the "bell."
It's Ollie Jones?
@LoveAffleck no just listen to it carefully :P
Do you know what acting is?
5:03..OMG o.O
For me. I apperciate the effort given by Will Chase, but Adam Pascal for me is who I think of when I think of the perfet Roger.
Will Chase is bae
This and Les Mis needs to get back on Broadway and STAY THERE! Get King Kong off and Spongebob (I don’t like that musical, I’m sorry) right now I swear.
i played Roger in our school production of Rent. check it out in my channel!
Roger looks like Robin Williams.
Just Mmmmmm! Musical theatre all the way! Please check out DiscoKiss channel and let us know what you think to our songs x JA x DiscoKiss
from having listened to a few songs but not yet see the musical. rent is about heroin addicts who get aids. awesome songs though
Very close, in fact just tips the balance I'm afraid.
Will is great, ma no one could be better than Adam Pascal. Adam IS Roger.
Will Chase always looks pretty aggressive and energetic, either in Miss Saigon as Chris or in this. However, neither of the two characters are supposed to be like that....this Roger's acceptable anyway, Adam's better
The actress for Mimi has a good voice but I don’t know how well she portrays the character
better than who?
adam pascal is god!
I personally think Will is a way better Roger than Adam was.
3:31 auto tune
Adam Pascal is a bit better on vocals, but Will Chase acts the role MUCH better than Adam, in my opinion. Overall, I prefer Will. It's a close call, though.
Will Chase isnt the best Roger. But he is the best at singing one song glory
Lol, "Whuy?"
One dislike.... Please lol
Adam did it better.
Well, is not a good Mimi, but i loved that Roger
I hate will chase and his acting, but he sang the fuck out of this song
Why do you hate his acting? I'm just curious. It's rare to hear that haha. :)
+Kylee Malone it's not so much his problem as it is mine. There's just something about his acting I don't like.
KingJ Ahh I see. Have you seen daphne Rubin Vega? I'm not a huge fan of her acting in rent, but I love a lot of aspects about her portrayal of Mimi. If that makes any sense lol.
+Kylee Malone she's my favorite Mimi tbh
KingJ imo, (if i'm correct, wasn't she a former heroin addict?) she was perfect for the part in the aspect that her actions are extremely drug induced. And so its extremely believable, to me at least, that shes a drug addict (talking about her portrayal of Mimi) My least favorite is Rosario, just because I prefer Renee over her aha.
lol xD fail!
Will Chase is Better than Adam. ;)
Adams voice is better, will's acting is better!
Traduccion horrible. Ej: Match = fosforo, no partido!!!
adam is better ..
Aawww man i miss adam pascal and his powered rock voice this version SUCKS
Actually yes i am
You can always come to my shows in Mexico
It actually doesnt suck. Will Chase is a better Roger.
Adam whines too much when he sings.
