hahaa, I just jumped into some post about attractive theatre guys. I felt very at home.

I don't even remember my first post, or even what it was about. I think actually the first thing I ever did here was review RENT in the "broadway shows" thing.

Does anyone remember the plotzing thread? That was one of my first. It was so fun.

That was SOO funny! I love that thread! Someone should bring that back!

I just searched through all my posts... I seriously believe that my first post was on guilty pleasure reality tv shows!!

You brought back the thread, nia! Yay!

What does everyone think of the new Mimi???

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 11/7/04 at 5:44pm

I'm trying to figure out why that name sounds so familiar. She's nine years younger than Adam, though!

[BroadwayDiva]

She was in "Men in Black", "Josie and the Pussycats", "The Rundown" and a few others (those were the only ones I've seen). I just checked IMDB... I'm REALLY hoping she can sing.

[insomniak]

She at least looks like a Mimi.

[BroadwayDiva]

Posted: 11/7/04 at 5:48pm

That's true...

I'm really hoping they know what they're doing...

[insomniak]

Is she latina or african-american? I can't really tell.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 11/7/04 at 5:53pm

I'd rather have seen them cast someone who's played Mimi before - since a lot of the rest of the cast is VERY experienced with these parts... but, they're done right so far, so maybe this is okay.

[BroadwayDiva]

Posted: 11/7/04 at 5:53pm

Someone listed all of her nationalities on the thread on the main board.

She's Latina/African American, though, among other things.

Oh come on guys.. have some faith! They wouldn't have cast someone who can't sing. They also wouldn't have cast someone who couldn't dance, especially since it looks like 'Out Tonight' is a dance act at some club. It would have been unfair to cast someone who couldnt sing into a group of people who have played these roles and sang these songs every night for months. The only thing I have a problem with is that I wish they had screen tested her with Adam and considered his opinions as well...

[BroadwayDiva]

Posted: 11/7/04 at 5:59pm

You're right, Glory. They should know what they're doing...

I hope she has good chemistry with Adam, or it'll be REALLY strange.

[insomniak]

Posted: 11/7/04 at 5:59pm

What makes you think they didn't?

[Chloe]

Posted: 11/7/04 at 6:01pm

Also on the IMDb bio was the fact that her mother is a professional singer, so maybe she got some training at home.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 11/7/04 at 6:02pm

I hope they did some testing with him... we all know he's kind of iffy about chemistry...

[BroadwayDiva]

Posted: 11/7/04 at 6:05pm

Thanks, Chloe, for that reassurance. I hope she can sing and hit those notes of "Out Tonight".

I really do hope they did testing with not only Adam, but maybe some of the other OBC.

'What makes you think they didn't?'

I don't know. It just sort of seemed unlikely. Plus when Anthony gave us the clues about the 3 women screen testing, he didn't mention if anyone else was present. I guess that doesn't eliminate the possibility completely, but I still don't think Adam was there...

Oh well. The only thing we can really do is hope that they hit it off at rehearsals I'm trying to limit my judging of the cast until I can see for myself.

I hope they announce the other casting soon. They're only announcing certain ones, and it's driving me crazy!

So far we have Mimi, Roger, Mark, Maureen, Collins, and Benny. I hope Jai is chosen for Angel. Who could be Joanne??

[OneBlazeOfGlory]

Posted: 11/7/04 at 6:14pm

Wilson has been offered Angel and someone (sorry I can't remember.. go check the Rent Casting thread) has been offered Joanne.. I don't know if they've accepted yet though

[BroadwayDiva]

Posted: 11/7/04 at 6:16pm

Ok, thanks for that information, Glory. The only two Angels that I could see are Wilson and Jai. I know Jai auditioned and said he'd "cry" if he wasn't cast, but Wilson would rock.

As for Joanne, I have NO idea.

The name Tracie Thoms keeps coming up - I have no idea how official that is, though. *shrug*

come what may.

[BroadwayDiva]

Posted: 11/7/04 at 7:22pm

Traci Thoms? I've never heard that name before. What was she in?

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 11/7/04 at 7:23pm

Drowning Crow....

um, google her. She looks kind of like Schele Williams.
