RENT school edition Out Tonight

[LOZfan101]

Spitting image of Rosario Dawson. One of the best Mimi interpretations.

[KaylasaBlack]

This Mimi is so real. The Mimi created by Larson (1994 demo) sings a song in which she says Roger: "I need men, hit me harder, daddy" while they are clearly having sex...I think I just explained everything! Mimi is dark, horny, very young. She's a Lolita. But they made it softer in Broadway and cast older women, or they're ugly or not sexy or they don't look Latin. This girl and Rosario are the closest to Larson's mind and to real 19-year old strippers.

[MrCmheld]

Oh my god. She is miles better than the current Mimi at New World Stages. Incredible.

[salvador566]

She is the right choice for Mimi that was awesome

[JaganshiHiei15]

amazing! she has an awesome voice! and great energy!

[rockergirll13]

she needs to go on broadway!!! she'd make an awesome broadway mimi!! better than jaime!!!! go girl!!

[LunyLovegood]

she is a amazing singer though her dancing could use a tiny bit of work, but i give her credit because out tonight has a super complicated dance.

[thestar13]

BRILLIANT.... Wow

[Elphaboy]

This is unbelievable she's FANTASTIC!!!

[unsmurfettable]

They used the original costume!

[macrent2]

Wow! She hit the song out of the park!

[KaityWTF]

Wow, she is amazing! She looks sooo much like Rosario Dawson.

[fish1335]

wow this girl is amazing

[fish1335]

wow this girl it amazing

[epacmo1807]

Is it just me, or does this girl look and sound WAY TOO MUCH like Emily from "The Glee Project"???? Is it her??

[TheAngelSpeaks15]

She's pretty hot.

[Martichaj]

she's wearing the same outfit as the girl in 2008's broadway version!!!

[lol14624]

she did the same moves tht the original did on broadway

[janeandalec]

My school might do this, and I want to be mimi. I'm just worried about what my dad would think, lol

[NatalieAndAshleigh1]

She looks like Rosario Dawson ;')

And she is amazing! <3

[tonyjv1988]

ah i want to be you

[salamiqueen]

This is a great Mimi. I am really impressed. Just a high schooler? It's always a nice surprise when you find a GOOD high school performer.

[raeram2008]

i cannot stop watching this! it's just amazing!

[gooeylooey14]

I havent seen the broadway version so If I didn't know this was a school edition, I would have thought it was the broadway Mimi :P

[Aspenfash899]

WOW shes a an awesome mimi love her hair as well

[hellosidra]

I GOT CHILLS!

[sh1r1ca]

she is amazing. all i can say is WOW...run to broadway

[bubbaduck1996]

Great job she just tried to hard to do everything like the broadway version and looked a little funny but vocals=awesome

[ihatetwotimers]

Holy crap, she's in HIGH SCHOOL?!?!?!

she's amazing! how on earth did lousy vanessa hudgens end up on broadway and not her?!

I wish they hadn't shortened a verse out of this song though, would have loved to hear her sing more!

[smilelkumeanit26]

@ihatetwotimers Yes. I actually saw CPAC's performance on Rent: SE. Unfortunately (but yet still fortunately) the school edition cuts out some verses of the songs or some of the songs are completely cut out.

[Korartiz]

Fine performance... but same costumes and choreography as the broadway show? High school can't be original? Have to steal, eh?

[TheMintyMuffin]

@Korartiz

I sincerely hope that you're joking :-/

[Gleekhead]

Random question: do you think that dance was hard to do in heels? I mean, even on Broadway they have flat heels...

Anyways, bravo :)

[ridderres]

@Gleekhead Yes it would. If I did half of the stuff shes doing in those heels, i would already have collapsed, and I walk on heels, like, daily.

[kayyislovee]

ciara is the shit! i love you girlfrann(:

[prettyprinces15]

wauuww great job!!

[invaderzim1414]

wow she's amazing! and I gotta say, she does look a lot like Rosario Dawson. She belongs on broadway!

[mazmister6]

she looks just like Rosario Dawson

[xodreamchicxo101]

<3 we r doing this in my school and some of the productions on here are terrible! BUT I CAN HONESTLY SAY THIS IS AMAZING.

[Gypsy1914]

WOW she is great for highschool.

[luisadmp]

talent is talent, no matter how old are you

[soshabbychic]

I wanted my old high school to do Rent but we weren't allowed due to some of the content in the show :(

[acegamer94]

she looks like rosario dawson

[coffeefrenzy74]

i havent heard a lot of ppl who can pull off this song well at all and i'm surprised that a student could above some broadway ppl. :) great job

[dreambreaker44]

I would count her a better Mimi than 80% of the one's on broadway! Her voice is amazing, and she does all the little tricks like Daphne did that made Mimi so amazing. This is simply breath taking!

[IamSplishSplashStyle]

This is absoloutely amazing.

[futurefiyero]

Wow

[robynginger247]

her voice is amazing!!!

[merbethmango]

she really should be on broadway. she is so good !

[tbeardog1]

eight people are staying home tonight

[tbeardog1]

OMG SHE IS LITERALY THE BEST BROADWAY OR MOVIE MIMI EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[broadwaytwin11]

ONe of the best Mimis I have ever seen. I want to do this show so bad, but coming from a small country town it is never going to happen :)

[sillyjilly679]

well shes a hell of a lot better than vanessa hudgens

[lily8394]

you sound like your drunk

[XBreezyBooX]

She reminds me of like a mini Rosie :). 

[XBreezyBooX]

i applaud all schools go do this musical. My school is such a stick in the mud. UGH.

[ilovegreen1396]

This is waaayy better than Vanessa Hudgens' performance.

[cuchienonna]

wow...just wow! great job! this girl deserves to be on broadway!

[idrinkwater2]

Amaziiiiing! My high school would never do this lol

[missymeg]

BEST. MIMI. EVER.

[todore00]

Wow. Perfect mimi!

[drummerkingmike]

This is increadible! Cant believe it's amateur - I'm thinking that Mimi wont be in the amdram leagues for too long!

[funereven]

She kicks the crap out of Renees' broadway version! Yes, she resembles Rosario Dawson quite a bit, only more glamorous - almost like a Miss America version. What impresses me most is how much power, control, and feeling she has! I sincerely hope she makes it to broadway. Drop dead gorgeous, the jaw line, those eyes, and show-stopping singing talent! BOO-YAH!

[PPED2011]

one of the best school mimi's i have ever heard

[TheMamaabc]

Go BALDWIN WALLACE COLLEGE SOPHMORE!! WE WILL SEE YOU SOON ON BROADWAY

[SimplyyMeBaby]

THIS GIRL BELONGS ONN BROADWAYY! why couldnt they get her rather than vaness hudgens????

[TheChosenZero]

@SimplyyMeBaby TOTALLY AGREE!

[XLNTStephanie]

@SimplyyMeBaby

AGREED!!!

[oNegLeEk]

that girl looks daphne and rosario she looks like mimi she's great

[littleladyfangz]

I would give so much for my school to do RENT. It's amazing.

[ThErAnDoMcHiCkZ]

so she looks like Rosario, seems to have taken a bit from Renee and has an incredible voice. Makes for one amazing Mimi. :] I've seen a lot of different versions of this, and I gotta say, this is incredible. Very well done. :D

[Porcelainfacex3]

she's incredible! she'll go far.

[performloveandlive]

honestly, your Mimi isn't great. . . .sorry.

[SorrowfulLesson]

You know what's horrible? She looks just Rosario, only more Mimi, if that makes sense... And what's more? I prefer her voice and singing over any Mimi I've ever seen, and that includes the original cast performance in '96. I know nothing beats an original, but this girl... Wow. She comes the closest I've seen in all my 24 years.

[AshleyBananas93]

I live in virginia and my school did this last year in my junior year of high school. I was the seasons of love soloist. it was an amazing experience.

[smilelikeyoumeaniit]

THIS PERFORMANCE IS BETTER THAN FUCKING BROADWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[n00bGurl]

Sweet crap D=

She's perfect!

[purpleballoon2]

what i luv bout school theatre 1) there is NO POSSIBILTY that the kids are faking it, they dont have enough money for auto tune or any fancy schmancy stuff 2) the kids r so excited just 2 be in a show 3) theres not so much of a competitive air, not that its not competitive, but the main priority is to have fun

[MegaDepp18]

amazing perfomance!

[TheCherryBomber1]

looks like Rosario, sounds like Tamyra. the perfect Mimi!

[nerwen15]

I'm a little late to the party, but this is GREAT! A quick search on YouTube shows that it's easy to do this song poorly. Not only do you have great vocal chops, but you have badass stage presence and confidence. Awesome!

[yobsterrish]

Where is this girl now? She's phenomenal.

[KYR33NALiiCHOUS]

dis is the best one ive seen from the school editions!! nd she looks alot like rosario!

[ohmyjesselyn]

She has an amazing voice!

[DWSMusic93]

That sounded great! I wish that my school would do this show but I highly doubt that my director EVER would. :( Maybe in the future. I tried out in community theatre, but didn't get it. I can only hope to be able to be apart of this show one day. It's amazing :) You're lucky you got to do it! :D

[NickFury182]

This lady is is INCREDIBLE!

absolutely brilliant. Strong voice, nice moves. She looks just like Mimi from the movie version.

I'm happy to see that schools are acknowledging this musical

[jjojosh]

this group of ppl did a great job

[xelementaIx]

shiit, she definately pulled it off. i COULD NOT STOP GRINNING! its like i was excited to see what she was going to do next. best high school edition of out tonight so far. she definately paid respect to mimi..

[C8l8o8u8d]

She starts out really nasal, but she gets better as soon as she reaches the pre-chorus, and shines when she belts. Excellent :)

[jeis47]

why did she skip the "when i get a wink from the doorman do you know how lucky you'll be..." line??

[heartscombined2]

@jeis47 you're right...i've never noticed that. maybe it was to make the song shorter?

[skuzzelbutt12]

she looks EXACTLY like Mimi from the movie... and sounds A LOT like her... its REALLY scary...

[Sominja]

this is REALLY REALLY good! 

[AlohaRyePie]

Hands down, the best school edition Mimi I have ever seen!!! she did an an amazing job!! Props to the wardrobe department.. They actually got the outfit right!

[Fiyero06]

shes damn good

[aibcomeback]

thumbs up a thousand percent! future broadway star right there...

[germanysmadhatter]

is there any reason why so my productions of RENT copy the staging of the original broadway production? if there is a reason, someone please let me know! thanks

[TLCfan93]

@germanysmadhatter maybe it's just the easiest way to do the staging, that way? 

[C8l8o8u8d]

@germanysmadhatter I think part of it is that it's practical for a budget, because everything serves multiple functions and you only need 1 set. And it's not difficult to pull off.

[germanysmadhatter]

@C8l8o8u8d thanks! I was thinking maybe it had something to do with the license saying it was mandatory to make it similar.

[germanysmadhatter]

she sings really good!

[beckybrannan]

this is the best version ive seen of this :)x

[Porcelainfacex3]

best amateur mimi ever.

[heartlandcutie13]

We're doing this at my school next year. I'm super excited. :)

[reneprom]

you better sing

[wood575]

U can tell its lip singing cause she said meow to early

[MrDmcty1]

@wood575 haha ummmmmm she is most definately not lip singing because i was collins in the production with her and trust me that is all her voice . It was just that when the video was burned to youtube it got delayed a little. But it is all her voice!

[wood575]

@MrDmcty1 oh ok shes talented though

[MrESB1023]

Wow Firstly, I'm amazed the school version uses Out Tonight at all. Second of all, the chick is KICK ASS!!!!!!!!

[RobertUpland]

The girl singing has an AWESOME voice

[1230leica]

GREATT PERFORMANCE!! :)

[amerboy22]

great job!!!!

[drunklazypunk314]

holy crap IMO she even beats some of the broadway mimi's. amazing

[GiovannaClapis]

This girl really looks like Mimi! and is a great singer too!!

[PunkRockEmo777]

Remarkable! I love this song and to the actress amazing voice!

[flapjackjoe]

Absolutely stunning vocals. Great job!

[fabiantubet]

Exelent!!

[dallia]

perfect Mimi :)

[huxleyrain]

She is the best mimi ever.

[defyinggravity0705]

where in the world did u guys get the costume? it's almost exact to the costume she really wears!!

[BroadwayAtHeart17]

LOVE her!

[Kdrashma]

wow.

[miggle33]

the best mimi ive seen. so beautiful and talented!!!

[godgivendesire]

oh my gosh a school did this? you Mimi is so talented!!!

[EmileeDoReMi]

Where the heck did they find those blue pants??? :0

I've been looking for them forever.

This was amazing! You did awesome...especially for it being the school edition. Woahhh. Super good.

We're hopefully doing this summer of my junior year, I love Mimi so much, she's my dream role. I'd love to do it at our school...but you have to factor in close minded people.

[aton87]

she kinda resembles Rosario dawson from afar wow hot..

[VIOLAinTHEmaking]

um its a great job just cant belivie a school did this

[Littlema3]

Thanks. My son was in this and it was at a community theater. Our school would not be able to pull it off due to some closed minded individuals. We are getting a hard time for doing URINETOWN just becasue of the name.

[Gikl27]

@Littlema3 I wish you the best of luck with your production of urinetown; people just dont like what they dont understand...it's a shame.

[screamproductions23]

Where is this because where im from in springfield Missouri we performed Guys and Dolls and Some Parents Took their Daughters out of the Production Because of the Hot Box. I can't stand Close Minded People because they stop actors like me from expanding their horizons

[Littlema3]

I truly understand where you are coming from. This was done at a community theater that unfortunately does not exists any more. It was located in a small town outside of Harrisburg, PA. We have our share of close minded people here too and that is why we could never pull it off at a high school.

[vdecker1010]

@screamproductions23 which high school in springfield? i lived there for 4 years, loved that town but people are very close minded! they would die if a school tried to do rent!

[screamproductions23]

Oh. Central, and ya i tried but to many closed minded people. It makes me mad.

[jdowg2011]

@screamproductions23 i understand to....... in rent i was be angel........ but my dad got pissed at me and tryed to get me out......... my mom yelled at him though and i got back in

[capnbly7]

@screamproductions23 you think this is bad, my school did Rent and had about 10 girls dressed "worse" than this...

[screamproductions23]

@capnbly7 I don't think this is bad,

[MrDancerforlife]

@capnbly7

This actually amazing she better than the mimi in the moviee. she amazing this was shocking

[blyan85]

1:07 to 1:10

that's my favorite part. i have never seen an other 'out tonight' performer do that since daphne rubin vega. thanks for bringing it back!!! (= i could never understand why the other mimis didn't do that.

[ImInTroubleImaAddict]

you know what. she's freaking great lol

she's sexy and she has a freaking

great voice!

[animegurl023]

WOW! That was AMAZING! Best School edition I've seen. JUST like the Broadway Tour performance I saw the other night ! Great job :D

[aaronmichael22]

very awesome...best school edition of a mimi and out tonight that ive seen on the web

[TheatreFanatic4eva]

she really looks like Rosario but her voice is so much stronger :D

[littleladyfangz]

@TheatreFanatic4eva I agree! Rosario's voice is too weak for Mimi. The only criticism I have of this performance is her annunciation :)

[TooNastie]

great job!!!

[ARandomWorld]

Dude, Mimi looks like Rosario, but sounds kick ass.

[Bradleyswifeyy]

she looks just like her its awesome!

[moresmilesplease]

I thought it was just me who thought Mimi looks like Rosario!!! WeiRD=D

[TheatreFanatic4eva]

omg this is school edition? ahmazing

[coasterjoel]

Mimi's awesome! She's sexy, dangerous, and has a great voice! It just sucks that they cut an entire chunk of the song out!

[dramaking33]

awsome singing (MIMI)

[idinakristinwicked]

i automatically name your highschool my official heros i mean no offense but pretty much all the other ones SUCK they dont get into her i love and how did you get an exact copy of her costume THATS AWESOME

[badbradsc]

ONE OF THE BEST MIM'S EVER

[robsterpaco]

That was incredible

[heatherdancer1234]

AMAZING! i thought she was Rosario for the first little bit! they look soo much alike!

[tokiohotel1239]

XD really good =)

[InOmniaParatus0]

You could tell she studied the hell out of all of that. She did almost all the moves of the broadway cast and did them perfectly.

Wow. Phenominal voice.

Awesome preformance.

[tokiohotel1239]

i know she is amazing!! better than the others i've heard

[bowring1991]

wow, does any1 else think she looks like Rosario Dawson. very gd singer as well.

[kaiyaxrawr]

she looks just like her!!

[AlohaRyePie]

I wish I could give this like a million stars!! AMAZING!!!!!

[fluffypuppy42]

i must say you are AMAZING! i think you are better than the girl that did it on broadway.

[ROBOTintheSKY]

WOWOWOWOW! Great performance. Done like a pro. I hope this MiMi keeps working in theater. See you on the big stage!

[XLNTStephanie]

I still get serious CHILLLLLZ when I see this.

[ARandomWorld]

She has such an original amazing voice. Lke how Daphne Rubin-Vega's voice is so unique and good, hers is too. And she's so confident with all of her movements, my favourite high school Mimi! And the fact that she looks SO much like Rosario Dawson is WAY cool. Good Job!

[everythingBrilliant]

I can't believe she's in high school! What an incredible voice.

[TheMintyMuffin]

Gha! I am in love with this girl! Which is weird because I'M a girl! It's just that she's so good, but so young!

All the other high school Mimi's that I've seen have been complete crap (though this has the advantage of being a performing arts school). But this one is a few heartbeats away from Broadway. And she looks like Rosario Dawson! Great, just great...

[imlagrlstieve]

this isn't a performing arts school, it was a local theatre. None of us went to a performing arts school unfortunately :(

[TheMintyMuffin]

Huh? Really?! Why did I think that CPAC was a performing arts school...?

[imlagrlstieve]

Well performing arts is in the name haha. It was Capital Performing Arts CENTER. But it's no longer in existence hah

[TheMintyMuffin]

Well, this is as good as anything I'd hope to get from the drama geeks at Juilliard or something. Were you in it? Oh, my gosh, were you 'Mimi?!

[imlagrlstieve]

Haha yeah, I was Mimi. Thanks for all the compliments!
