lovett1979 January 28, 2019 Share January 28, 2019 Ok, so apparently they are performing the show live as a concert for the studio audience. They have the rehearsal footage playing in the background, and they'll probably cut to that feed for the finale. But boy do I wish they were broadcasting that instead. That's real live theatre. Also, eerily reminiscent of the first performance of Rent, right? Looks like they are filming it, so I hope we'll get to see it someday. https://twitter.com/Foreverayoung 10 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/57392-rent-live-fox-general-discussion/page/3/#findComment-5014916

Bewitched January 28, 2019 Share January 28, 2019 Having seen Vanessa since High School musical days, I have to say it is obvious she has put in the work to improve her vocals. I was really impressed with her in Grease (especially since she was doing it the day after her dad died) but Rizzo isn't a really vocally demanding role. This requires a lot of power and even in "rehearsal" she is really bringing it. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/57392-rent-live-fox-general-discussion/page/3/#findComment-5014922
