Rent In Two Weeks! Word from: Mordy

Two weeks till Rent and I've already listened to the new movie soundtrack for any details different from the original. Mimi has a lot more chemistry with Roger than in the original, and the new Joanne has a set of pipes on her.

And then there is the slight religious additions. We always knew Mark Cohen was Jewish. (Cohen, duh.) Especially from the line in La Vie Boheme where "Mark Cohen will screen his documentary about his inability to hold an erection over the high holidays." Ala Portnoy, though we imagine he didn't have such tzoros. But now, there is a new addition. We find out where he learns to dance the Tango in the Tango Maureen (his ex-shiksa girlfriend, of course), from a Rabbi's Daughter! That's right. Nenit Himmelfarb, whose father was the Rabbi of the Scarsdale Jewish Community Center.

Oh. And did I mention Sarah Silverman, HEEB's favorite pinup girl, plays the part of Alexi Darling? From Buzzline?
