Rent-Out Tonight (Broadway on Broadway 2007)

[JogBird]

is she lip syncing?

[OhSahZay]

this vid makes me want to cut my hair short :)

[pjcp97]

the guys at her back was like staring at her

[poprocks808]

dang EVERYONE's just checking her out lol

[DWSMusic93]

Thst was AMAZING!!! Love her as Mimi :)

[makinbacon254]

UNREAL

[WheresAdalia713]

She is fierce.

[lovely0995]

Why did she cut her hair???? I liked her with her hair.

[Raygunn24]

Hollywood Bowl is gonna ROCK RENT......VH is gonna be sooooo FIERCE!

[axepagode33626]

I think Tamyra has the best singing voice of all the Mimis.

[tammy1995able]

Vanessa hudgens is the New Mimi. I personally think she's gonna rock.

[XMyNameIsLemonX]

@tammy1995able then obviously, you're an idiot with no brain and you dont really understand RENT.

[heartscombined2]

@tammy1995able that's just....eww....she would SUCK!! i mean, she has too much POP to be the rough rock n' roll S&M dancer that is Mimi

[sprtichck]

@heartscombined2 she does well looking and acting like mimi its the singing though that isn't right for the part, i think she's tlented but her voice is just soooooo not mimi she sounds like a baby prostitute.....but hey maybe that's just me

[rmsg4]

Amazing

[SuicidalMickeyMouse3]

Love her. Wow, she looks like she's having so much fun

[shingo336]

shes always perfect :)

[ninjapickle2495]

she was so perfect as mimi!

[HameronIsLove]

Nom. I wish she went on the tour, though I ADORE Lexi, I have to say that Tamyra is a bit higher up on my list. By a bit I mean Tamyra's number two and Lexi's number three.

[xWickedxRentx]

she gave Mimi an edge.

i like it :D

[clarklesparkle]

I think it says something about the performances people have seen that there's not already 'an edge' on a nineteen year old junkie stripper. Lol.

[LaylaClapton05]

Oh yay. Another SKINNY Mimi. NO!

[clarklesparkle]

She IS supposed to be a heroin addict. Also a starving artist. Which is not to say I would object to a curvy Mimi. Just that this may be part of thought process during casting.

[emilypotter02]

@LaylaClapton05 why wouldn't mimi be skinny? she's a junkie who is close to death at the end of the show....

[anastassiades]

great voice, bad hair

[musicalmad1996]

@anastassiades lol ino what you mean MI MI HAS LONG HAIR lol

[mirrorbluechild]

Ummm, fierce bitch is fierce.

[AbiLovesYouLots]

im not even a minute into this yet and i already hate it. shes an ok singer but i hate her performance ... i hope shes not like this on stage

[FireGirlG]

She's on a flat stage all by herself right now, of course its not like this when she's in the show. And she's a fantastic singer.

[TheGoodwinNomNomNom]

I feel bad. Her belt kept falling. XD

[breluvsluke]

Love her so much! And she is really hot!!

[irishgmailrock]

this is an amazing performance

[frizzydevil]

OMG

she was so so so so awesome!!! <3

[darkX15]

wowo I think she is the strongest mimi ever....cooooool!!!

[callumgriffiths1]

sad its closed

[09181975]

LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KomplexiveMind]

Get it big cuzzo...We loved seein you as Mimi hehe it was GREAT. Get em Tamyra

[JordanMaisy]

i LOVE her shirt

:]

i want one

[angeldolphin03]

rosario all the way :)

[breluvsluke]

Rosario really isn't that great of a singer in my opinion. No offense because I love her as Mimi, and as an actress but singing isn't my fave thing about her.

[BestPiggy]

if you see her casting video..you see she really cant sing-also in the deleted scene "Goodbye Love" you can really there too...but since its not live...they can always somewhat fix it!! lol

[breluvsluke]

Exactly! But she looks like a Mimi and can act like a Mimi so if you fix her singing, its all good.

[BestPiggy]

i totally agree

[birdman0723]

This isn't Rosario it's Tamyra Gray from American Idol. She played Mimi on brodaway for a while

[breluvsluke]

Ya, I know, we jsut got off topic about Rosario, love Tamyra

[Caterpuff]

Who the hell is this?

[JordanMaisy]

tamyra gray

[CelesteMunoz7]

WOW! this was an awesome performance!!!!!!

[breluvsluke]

She is FIERCE! I really like her in Out Tonight.

[lawntifuh]

thank you for posting this! one of my favorite vids!!

[twiggy647]

Wow! She's amazing! She's probably my favorite Mimi after Daphne then Rosario. I love that she has a different look.

[ToastyToast224]

She's my favorite Mimi(:

[BunneyRumpkins]

Rosario Dawson is better.

[Animeartist124]

This doesnt deserve -6! Thanks to the studio editing, Rosario's voice sounded great! Not so whispy and whispery or rasp an manly like some of the broadway Mimi's. I dont have a fav Mimi, but the movie did a damn good job

[maquishg7]

omg!! she's completely awesome!

[QwayQway1]

she dosen't need long hair to be mimi what the hell is wrong with you.

[ddegrassigirl]

niesamowita :D

[m00tsiex0t00tsie]

omg shes sooo goood

[fuzziebubbbles]

she needs long hair then shes mimi

[Luna0teagan]

She was the one who did it on broadway not long ago. She did have long hair.

[accash1]

actually she did do it on broadway when adam and anthony came back in 2007 and she had this short hair. when she performs out tonight, she has the glitter in almost a tissue thingy and she flings it out of her hand instead of hair.

No one needs long hair to be Mimi. You could be bald, as long as you understand what your singing and how to be Mimi, then your fine

[Luna0teagan]

Yea I saw that too. I like her hair both ways, so it doesn't really matter to me.

[slodkadaga]

Świetne...!!

[SaraIsIdiosyncratic]

She really is an amazing singer, but I think she's too loud and out there for the movie.

Rosario was perfect for the movie, but Tamyra is much more stage-oriented.

This was a really good performance, to say the least.

[artlover007272]

I think she is better than Rosario. She is more in your face, like a real street hustler would be.

[idinakristinwicked]

shes good but my favorites will always be Rosario and Daphne

[BlissfulFury]

I actually really like Tamyra AND Rosario.

[hsmfan76]

she's got the talent she should have been in the movie

[NiboBoys]

nahh, i think they casted Mimi perfectly in the movie

[Tyke10607]

I like rosario dawson as mimi but her voice wasn't ROCK enough for me. I think Daphne Ruben-Vega did it the best but I love Tamyra also, she can SANG!

[guaap34]

she did okay with this song but i saw her and she wasn't so good with the ballads. like her just not as mimi. mimi has to be tough and sweet at the same time, NO ONE did mimi like Daphne and no one ever will. rosario is a movie star and that worked for the MOVIE, not broadway.

[SophieDisorderly]

And i thought rosario dawson was perfect for the role as mimi i totally take that back now!!!

I don't know she is but she's AMAZING and so much better than rosario :D

[lilactress717]

Now THAT's talent.

[breakers92]

omg!!!! shes damn good!!!

[pameladuran13]

Rosario Dawson is the shit! :D

[WackyWeasley]

She's so damn skinny!

[LunaCullen6]

I think that Rosario might be playing Mimi in a traveling cast or on broadway if it weren't for the fact that she's a movie actress. They dub their voices for the movie over the scenes, and she might not be able to sing and dance at the same time.

I thought she was amazing as Mimi, but so are Daphne and Renee...however, Tamyra, not so much. :( Sorry.

[HorHorBagel]

Actually Tamyra is fabulous. I've seen her twice.

[LunaCullen6]

I know she's good, I just meant not in this vid, because she's not Mimi to me, and she messed it up.

Sorry, but just because you can sing doesn't mean you should play certain parts.

[HorHorBagel]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come off like that. You're allowed your opinion. I've seen her in the role twice and I've also seen other people in the role and she's one of my favorites...

[LunaCullen6]

It's fine. You're one of the only decent people on Youtube that when you offend someone you apologize for it.

Personally, and I KNOW I'll get flack for this, but I LOVE Rosario as Mimi.

[renthead637]

I completely agree. To me, Rosario is my favorite. I've seen 7 different Mimi's and that's not counting all of the bootleg Mimi's that I've seen on here LOL.

[RubberDucki12]

I love Rosario too :D

[renthead637]

Yeah, Tamara is a great singer but I really didn't think she fit the part of Mimi.

[beauticuti]

who the fuck is that?

[punkysk8er522]

ummm have you ever heard of AMERICAN IDOL?!

She finished 4th in the first season.

[beauticuti]

my bad.i just dont watch american idol

[punkysk8er522]

sorry...

no way of knowing that dude

sry again

[tatyrules12]

omgz she messed up the lyrics!

but thats ok cuz shes really awesome

UR LUCKY UR AWESOME TAMYRA!

[idinakristinwicked]

when did she mess up

[tatyrules12]

she didnt mess zthem up really she mixed em up cuz she mixes up the 2nd verse with the 3rd verse cuz on the third one you dont go into falsetto and she did that part twice

[MoulinDancer]

she's pretty good, but I saw Renee Elise Goldsberry, and I thought that she was better.

[sopranosinger123]

She sings pretty good

[LeQueenieBB]

I think rosario dawson is better but this girl has a good voice

[NOLabels]

Rosario Dawson = Movie.

Tamyra Gray = Broadway.

.. bad comparison, especially since they used Auto-Tune on Rosario's voice.

[zillious06]

Actually I think it's the other way around. Rosario shoulda played on Broadway :)

But Tamyra is still a good singer.

[NOLabels]

I love getting thumbs down for telling the truth. That her singing ability is questionable due to the fact that they used Auto-Tune on her voice. I think Rosario would look great as Mimi (on Broadway, think of her in the Out Tonight outfit). But could she last?

[zillious06]

Why wouldn't she? :P

[iEm2010]

I SAW HER SATURDAY NIGHT!

I was like 7 rows from the stage & she gave me chills :D

[miiszkelsz]

i was there :)

[hollyw0odPHEN0M]

amazing!

[Maxkustrap]

She's GREAT!, what an amazing voice

[DirektorMira]

Really AWESOME!!!

[greenwallsRcool]

shes awesome.. her and rosario dawson are the best

[shampooXconditioner]

I met her!!!!!!! She's so cool

[happysmilyfasegrl]

shampooXconditioner...u MET her? i am so jealous! i luv all the mimi's (xcept for that one who has this really weak voice...i think she was 2005?) and i wish i had met ONE of them! omg, so jealous!

[sohoknight]

I met Lexi Lawson. Had I known you sooner I would have stuffed you in my shirt and then I could say, "Lexi, I have someone who wants to meet you" and you could pop out of my bra.

[happysmilyfasegrl]

um...okay? thanx?

[kaditacute]

.. -laughed-

[ActorGeorge94]

AWsome voice!!!

[bikabur]

DAMN!

[giggles213a]

i saw this show today and it was amazing!

[nicaten]

so kool

[looker768]

Tamyra is a gem! She's a triple threat!

[singsingsing22]

she is awesome!!! i like antoniques voice better

[hoejoee]

me2

[NickyTrekkieFangirl]

Oh my god she is awsome. I just fell in love with her voice, and I love her shirt!!

[NickyTrekkieFangirl]

Oh my god she is awsome. I just fell in love with her voice, and I love her shirt!!

[PrincessJasmine06]

i like how all of the stars that

sing style their shirts they r so

cute!

[HoZsike]

Bow curse in it , that Rent (Hungarian)  and there are a couple of songs there in Hungarian very much good :)

[Linaria]

I'm so happy I got to see Rent on Broadway before it closed

[looker768]

LUCKY!

[monicord]

damn she's so effin' amazing! i felt blessed to see her as mimi on broadway!

[Wickedisnumba1]

me too, saw RENT a few weeks ago (best day eva!!) and she was definitely my favorite!

[alerma84]

It closes June 1, 2008...I am the saddest :'(

[tamyrafan]

"Rent" has postponed its June 1 closing date, now extending through the summer to shutter Sept 7 owing to a increasing demand for tickets :)

[alerma84]

yay! thanks :)

[tamyrafan]

ur most welcome :)

[yelanates]

Quite possibly one of the best Mimis.

[WDWSmilez]

IM SO SAD ITS CLOSING

=[

[joechavez108]

omgg i know !

[kitkatqueen]

omg. i love this.

[Showaholic]

what's up with the belt?! It was driving her crazy!

[Wickedisnumba1]

yeah i noticed that too!

[JesieRocetes57]

too bad shes not like that durring a show...shes not that wild..its mor safer on broadway kids

[defyinggravity319]

she rocked it out! i love her outfit!

[lobogirl]

oh my god is she howling out? tamyra you dont howl until over the moon sweetie.

[rosablasifan08]

She is my second fave! (Daphne is still my favorite) I saw her with Anthony and Adam.

[beebeeamor07]

loooove her

[ThePigmyPuffs]

She's my favorite Mimi!

[bumpadabumpada99]

This is a great performance, but the lack of scenery takes away from it. She did a good job, though.

[Ozzyhopper]

uh what scenery? one of the reasons RENT was so revolutionary was because of its lack of set that made it applicable anywhere.

I like her short hair, very 80s and she sounds almost exactly like Antonique

[smilelkumeanit26]

its broadway on broadway dude

[bumpadabumpada99]

Argh, I know that. All I was trying to say was that I prefer the performance at the Nederlander. Not because of the vocals or the acting, just because of the way the staging is set up. It's my opinion, that's all.

[smilelkumeanit26]

::looks around:: ok, odd, but ok, lol. This is an amazing performance by Tamyra

[bumpadabumpada99]

Ya, I also think it's amazing... Tamyra's a great Mimi :)

Lol I just want to stay away from those endless YouTube fights... not fun.

[smilelkumeanit26]

not fighting, just wasn't sure if you knew, lol...good times

[bumpadabumpada99]

OH lol *headdesk* Whoopsies.

Yay RENT!

[NOLabels]

I concur. It looks weird to see Out Tonight performed without bars.

[makinbacon254]

I saw her perform on august 29th, and she was amazing! She is a very powerful singer! Tamyra, nice pipes!

[CleanSockz]

i dont like her

[barnardoo98]

What is this? Performing a musical in the street?!

[fangelchild]

Promoting the musical. There's more than just here out there doing it.

[hersheykissesaeg]

my fave mimi by far. yey tamyra =]

[jerald2k5]

a lil too much i would say it was ok... antonique is better

[Boilers07]

how long is tamyra going to be on broadway?

[TamyraGrayPromotions]

Her stay was suppose to be over a month or two ago (after six months) but was asked to do another six months. She will be in Rent til May/June (can change at any time though because of other projects).

[CiCiMarquez]

i like her outfit.. is she wearing the leopard boots???

[kozeraag]

I like it, although not necessarily they "you're sweet wanna hit the street" part. Can only dogs hear when the notes are sung that high? lol Great job Tamyra!

[dhogan47]

ok so its hard to get of rosario, but i must say shes 10 times better than daphne! yuck!

[akacsa]

OMG im so happy dat u put di son here...one of my fav singers and my fav musical/ play of all time...Luv Rent and Tamyra

[lckysvn777]

I saw Tamyra twice this summer and all I can say is WOW!!!!!. Her hair is getting more funky everytime I see her. LoL. I mean that in a good way. Is she the only Mimi to have short hair?

[fangelchild]

It would appear that way, LOL.

[caseyfaceisrad]

oh my god, me and my two friends saw her with adam pascale and anthony rapp and it was just a complete knock out cast. i can never see rent again because it was so perfect the first time! haha

[tashaterror]

She's awesome.

Best chick that i've heard play Mimi on broadway.

[oinkmooxxrikki]

this is better on stage, she does it great :)

she sings really well too

I got to see her 6 times this summer, and i love when she does this song :)

[nfgc86]

That was awesome. I had a chance to she her on Broadway in august and I was pleasantly surprised.

[CTbeachbum4ever]

I really like how she tries to get the audience really involved in the song.

[tsaditya]

Damn good singing !! Damn good acting !!!! Tamyra has it all !!! May her second album be a phenomenal success !!! Amen !!! :-)

[smilelkumeanit26]

simply incredible
