literally my reaction comment section mentions Jon Me: WHERE IS THY GLORIOUS JON!?!? **continues watching** Me (weakly due to fangirling overload): ....found him....
Is someone asked me to sum up 2000s-2010s nerd culture, I'd send them this video. It's just everything - should be super cringy but it isn't because everyone is so unashamed of what they love. It makes me so happy!
1. It's too bad her mike cut out during Martha Jones' only verse. 2. I'm glad they kept in the line, "Living with, not dying from disease" from RENT. 3. HOLY CRAP, IS THAT ANTHONY RAPP???
Yeah this was all kinds of epic. I'm pretty sure I could watch this 10 more times and catch new jokes and people I recognize. And can we just talk about how they made Dylan from starkid Sam Gamgee because ppl always say he looks like Sean Astin.
+Craziest Productions it once was, and then it just kept adding fandoms. Leakycon is run by the leaky cauldron, a harry potter info website, and was originally intended as just a hp convention. So not entirely true
As soon as heard the first notes while Joe was talking-- I grabbed my friend's arm & said "no, no... no way" & I wasn't sure because it was impossible. But then Anthony started singing w/ the spotlight on just him, but still-- no way would they do the whole thing. But by the 2nd coat button... I saw the Mark scarf... & I was on the ground shouting & screaming (& I think crying), &... this is the worst grammar I have ever used, but that's the way my mind was working. THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS!!!
I wish to god I had gone. When I heard Rapp was going to be there, I was a mess. I knew something like this was going to happen, and I missed it. I am crying right now, because this finale was GOLD, and I hope to see Rapp next year. This rendition of La Vie Boheme is the most perfect thing I have ever seen. I went in 2012, and hopefully 2014 will happen for me! To everyone who was there: I HOPE YOU HAD THE BEST TIME EVER!!!!
Anthony Rapp, Jon Cozart, Hank Green, The guy from Harry potter the musical, fandoms, rent, cosplay, my heart is screaming. How have i not know about this till now
Leaky is the greatest con ever! The just finished up Leakycon London on Sunday but they're working hard on next years which will be held in Orlando, Florida!
Don't mind me. Just casually sobbing that I couldn't afford to see Anthony Rapp at freaking Leaky Con I just can't even...DON'T SKIP NINE! That was fantastic! And I teared up at the bit about Esther. This whole song was just brilliant.
I saw him on the side, and I wasn't sure if it was him until he started singing, and then got so excited! I love Anthony Rapp. I only got about half of the references, but this is most definitely the best parody of Rent ever!
I was crying by the end of this when I watched it live. Even better, I was still crying when I stopped to talk to Andrew Slack afterwords because he was in the row in front of us. God I wish we were still there. Every part of me misses it.
I am crying at the sheer perfection of this. My favorite song parodied about things I love, song by people I idolize, dressed as my favorite characters. And lets face it, Anthony Rap as Mark, just made everything so much better. That and Starkid, Esther, LBD, and DFTBA
Did anyone else squeal when Anthony Rapp started singing? I saw him live in Charlotte, NC when he had joined the RENT tour for a few shows back in 2009--his voice is still amazing! Also, I want to go to LeakyCon.
RENT AND STARKID AND REFERENCES AND ANTHONY RAPP AND FANDOMS AND
HYPERVENTILATING
SYSTEM OVERLOAD
I'm getting over excited too! Why has it taken my so long to see this

Apparently he's friends with Maureen Johnson (the author) who plans a lot of Leaky Con
mayanpaw Maureen Johnson.... See any similarities in names?
Lol, yes I am aware
mayanpaw Also he's wanted to go to Leaky for a few years running apparently.
britskee03 this is super late... but he's also long time friends with Melissa Anelli
THIS IS THE NERDIEST THING I HAVE EVER SOON OH MY GOD I LOVE IT
XD
Oh my god. Anthony Rapp and Jon Cozart on one stage. My life is complete now.
Holy crap. That was before I knew about Starkid. WHAT IS THIS MADNESS!

Anyone actually thinking this is cringe has no joy left
brosenthal in a Sherlock tshirt just made my day
1. It's too bad her mike cut out during Martha Jones' only verse.

Yeah this was all kinds of epic. I'm pretty sure I could watch this 10 more times and catch new jokes and people I recognize. And can we just talk about how they made Dylan from starkid Sam Gamgee because ppl always say he looks like Sean Astin.

I just found out about this video and I am internally screaming from the perfection of this.
love the shoutout to Hank and John.
Hank's just in the background tryna keep up with the lyrics I love it
Tessa wote this
It makes me so happy that Lauren Lopez was Buffy the Vampire Slayer c:
Anthony Rapp, a RENT song turned into a fandom one, and Starkids all up in one big lovely 9 minutes and 6 seconds video just made my life complete
This is the most 2013-Tumblr-era thing I’ve EVER seen
Anthony Rapp
Jon Cozart
Dom
Titus
Tessa Netting
Joey Richter
Joe Moses
I feel like Thomas Sanders was abandoned
and Darren should've been there.
And lauren lopez was there too
The LDB Cast, The StarKids and Hank Green all in one show. I didn't know I needed this until now.
Is that the actual Mark from Rent?
Yep! That's Anthony Rapp! He really likes this kind of stuff.
I'm pretty sure
Yes it is
Yeah he's from the original cast and the movie
@@marchman3000 yes it is
The places where broadway and nerdfighteria intersect are the best places on the internet oh my freaking god
I literally cried, that was so beautiful. What made me cry was the parts about Esther Earl and TSWGO.
"just don't skip nine" me: AHHHHHHHH
ANTHONY RAPP OMFG
sO MANY OF MY FAVORITE THINGS COMBINED I CAN NOT
this just unlocked so many memories. I used to watch this video all the time
I MISS THIS SO MUCH
This just proves that Anthony Rapp is down for anything.
This is amazing! Antony Rapp, Starkid, Rent and fandom a
"A place where you can always belong, THIS IS FANDOM!"
Wherever he is, Jonathon Larson is getting a good laugh out of this
whoever wrote these lyrics is a genius who understands us
SO MANY FANDOMS IN ONE ROOM! WHAT DO I DO? THE FEELS?
Jon Cozart looks so awkward through out this
neville longbottom where is he?
WHERE IS HE?!?!?
oh I see him
just nodding along awkwardly
How have I never heard this before and why am I crying?!
I still have NO idea what LeakyCon is but omg I don't care I still love it ♥
its like harry potter comicon
+mermermer123 not just Harry potter
+Craziest Productions it once was, and then it just kept adding fandoms. Leakycon is run by the leaky cauldron, a harry potter info website, and was originally intended as just a hp convention. So not entirely true
how did i not know this existed
"Captions are available, in case you couldn't hear anything else" Omg, I love you.
As soon as heard the first notes while Joe was talking-- I grabbed my friend's arm & said "no, no... no way" & I wasn't sure because it was impossible. But then Anthony started singing w/ the spotlight on just him, but still-- no way would they do the whole thing. But by the 2nd coat button... I saw the Mark scarf... & I was on the ground shouting & screaming (& I think crying), &... this is the worst grammar I have ever used, but that's the way my mind was working. THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS!!!
This is so perfect, wish they had better vocals but I don't even care. I love it
The amount of perfection in this song is just overwhelming. If only everyone knew the lyrics...
When you are part of the musical theatre fandom and pretty much every freaking fandom that was in this song
YES!!! Rent plus all these cool fandoms.... yes please
*wipes a manly tear*
Q
"In Ester's name" I'm exploding.
My heart isn't working right now from all the feels
Anthony Rapp just keeps his Mark costume in his trunk just in case
Since it’s just a sweater and scarf I would not be surprised.
I'm literally crying remembering the time at had at this wonderful conference.
I have listened to this at least 3 times a day since it happened. Except on the first day. I was too amazed to even processed that it happened.
I wish to god I had gone. When I heard Rapp was going to be there, I was a mess. I knew something like this was going to happen, and I missed it. I am crying right now, because this finale was GOLD, and I hope to see Rapp next year. This rendition of La Vie Boheme is the most perfect thing I have ever seen. I went in 2012, and hopefully 2014 will happen for me! To everyone who was there: I HOPE YOU HAD THE BEST TIME EVER!!!!
EVERYTHING I LOVE, ALL IN ONE VIDEO. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MY EMOTIONS.
HOW HAVE I NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE NOW?! I WAS FANGIRLING OVER PEOPLE AND THE MUSIC AND THE LYRICS AND ASDFGHJKLICAN'TEVEN!!!!!!!!
the minute anthony took off the jacket is the moment all the theater nerds sobbed. so incredible to see in person.
This is now officially my favorite thing ever.
Anthony Rapp, Jon Cozart, Hank Green, The guy from Harry potter the musical, fandoms, rent, cosplay, my heart is screaming. How have i not know about this till now
Watching this in the airport on my way back home and feeling all of the feels!
When i first saw this, my heart pretty much exploded
I CAME HERE FOR ANTHONY RAPP, MY MOST RECENT OBSESSION, AND STARKID IS HERE???
OMG, The girl who plays Rachel Berry is Foxface from The Hunger Games! :D
1:35 That note lasted longer than 50% of marriages.
"I'm fine, just DON'T SKIP NINE!" I love how we can all tell which fandom that's from.
Leaky is the greatest con ever! The just finished up Leakycon London on Sunday but they're working hard on next years which will be held in Orlando, Florida!
Don't mind me. Just casually sobbing that I couldn't afford to see Anthony Rapp at freaking Leaky Con I just can't even...DON'T SKIP NINE! That was fantastic! And I teared up at the bit about Esther. This whole song was just brilliant.
I saw him on the side, and I wasn't sure if it was him until he started singing, and then got so excited! I love Anthony Rapp. I only got about half of the references, but this is most definitely the best parody of Rent ever!
I literally cried. I LITERALLY CRIED IT'S EVERYTHING I LOVE.
there are so many awesome things on that stage that my mind is blown
"OMG is that the Doctor?"
No bitches.....it's Mark fucking Cohen!
I come back to this video every so often and it makes me so so happy!
I was crying by the end of this when I watched it live. Even better, I was still crying when I stopped to talk to Andrew Slack afterwords because he was in the row in front of us. God I wish we were still there. Every part of me misses it.
I'm crying so much. God I wish I was there this year. Last year was great but they have this... NEXT YEAR!!!!!!!!!
I love the fact that Dylan Saunders is playing samwise when Sean Astin has played him.
Each time I watch this it becomes more magical
Does have that sweater and scarf in a bullet proof glass cabinet? I adore this
No matter how many timesI watch this I cry ugly happy tears.
This is the best thing I ever seen about fandoms. I feel at home. They are amazing.
Gah- this is the most messy, beautiful, geeky, insane, wonderful thing I've ever seen. So many amazing people. Man, fandom is awesome.
I am crying at the sheer perfection of this.
My favorite song parodied about things I love, song by people I idolize, dressed as my favorite characters.
And lets face it, Anthony Rap as Mark, just made everything so much better. That and Starkid, Esther, LBD, and DFTBA
I may or may not be tearing up right now. This is amazing. I can't wait until I am finally able to go to Leaky.
Everyone's excited about Antgony Rapp and Starkid (fair, by the way, I love them too) and I'm over here fangirling over Mary Kate Wiles
THIS IS SO GOOD! Well done, writers and performers! Anthony Rapp, I just love you.
Why did this give me chills I am not even in a lot of these fandoms.
So many feels... I just can't even express it.
This is the best thing that has made me the happiest in all of the days
Best thing ever!! Man I wish I could go to a Leakycon. Anthony Rapp is incredible, but before now I didn't know he was THAT awesome...
Why does this make me smile uncontrollably?!?
I mean star kid Is good but ANTHONY IS A TOTAL LEGAND
NOW I WANNA SEE THEM ALL SING "TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART"!
these are ALL things I love! and omg, the lead from rent is actually here? amazing, just amazing.
This looks a really fun experience to these kids. Nice of Anthony to be there to be the inspiration of his role…
I seriously cannot stop listening to this.
Okay. I got chills and teared up when they said in Esther's Name.
How did I not know about this until now wtf- THERE'S LITERALLY STARKID AND ANTHONY RAPP AND JON COZART AND AHHH
My favorite part was: I cant even! All the feels, OTP. That's literally me everyday.
Did anyone else squeal when Anthony Rapp started singing? I saw him live in Charlotte, NC when he had joined the RENT tour for a few shows back in 2009--his voice is still amazing!
Also, I want to go to LeakyCon.
Just this once, everybody lives!
