Do some research, and then apply wherever you think you will fit, no matter the cost. If you really are in a less-than-ideal economic situation but you have potential, they do this thing these days called "Financial Aid." I hear it's great.

Sherie Renee Scott drama while in RENT?

For what it's worth, Peter Marks of the Times loved Sherie...maybe Kristen was just pissed about not getting it.

"THE most electrifying moment on Broadway these days is being supplied not by any above-the-title player, but by a pair of unknowns.
Their names are Sherie Scott and Shelley Dickinson, a replacement and an understudy in the cast of 'Rent.' When they throw themselves body, heart and soul into 'Take Me or Leave Me,' the white-hot, Aretha-style love duet near the top of the second act, the force is nearly nuclear. The number has always been one of the show's most irresistible, but Ms. Scott and Ms. Dickinson, who as the musical's lesbian lovers are as perfectly matched as a pair of diamond-stud earrings, explore new depths in their characters' mutual attraction. In their wild, aching rendition, there can be no doubt that a love-hate relationship is nourished by heat.
The sublime work by Ms. Scott, who recently replaced the Tony-nominated Idina Menzel as the performance artist Maureen, and Ms. Dickinson, the understudy to Fredi Walker, who created the role of the uptight Harvard-trained lawyer Joanne, is instructive for audiences and performers alike: replacement actors in hit shows need not be disappointingly wan facsimiles of their well-received predecessors. They can transform a piece in profound and unanticipated ways."
