Caprice in "RENT"

What/Who exactly is she?

---

Caprice is a supermodel and she was on the cover of magazines ....but nobody knew she could sing....and yes the girl can belt a song. She was in "The Vagina Monologues"

Her website is www.caprice-online.com and there is a review of her 12-week run in "RENT".

Caprice is the most photographed woman in the world.

Check her out she is fine as hell.

If anyone finds clips of her singing, PLEASE give us a link!

She can belt a song???? You are kidding, right?

Her appearance in Rent was the biggest joke since Dannii Minogue in Notre Dame De Paris. In fact, at least Dannii tried (and failed) to sing whereas Caprice didn't even attempt to. The producers and Caprice herself were very open about the fact that she lip-synched all of Maureen's songs, making that particular production of Rent one of the biggest jokes to ever hit the West End.
I was disgusted by her performance!

holy crap - aren't you "not allowed" to lip sync on stage? isn;t that why they call in the swings/understudies? if someone loses their voice, they just take the night off. what a joke that must have been. i wonder how the rest of the cast felt about it. weren't adam and anthony (and jesse and wilson) in that cast?

OMG, Who wrote that article?? "in particular the mellow-voiced Collins heart-rending solo of Without you" I nearly fell out of my chair when I read that. Did this person even see the show? First of all Without You isn't even a solo, how could they mix up Without You with I'll Cover you, which in my opinion is a memorable song.

And "there are many uplifting moments provided by such rousing songs as La Vie Boheme and Living in America" Living in America? do they mean What You Own? Is that song uplifting and rousing?

I can't believe she lipsynced, I would have been so mad if I saw her and she lipsynced. If you can't sing, dont be in a musical!

read it yourself if you don't believe me.

Who sang the recording she lip-synched to?

I spoke to the producer of that particular productiuon of Rent one day and we started talking about this whole casting stunt.
He sort of agreed with the fact that it is a complete joke to have someone like her mime to the songs but he made a few good points from his point of view.

He mentioned all the articles, TV appearances and therefore advertisement the show received just because of Caprice, he wouldn't have been able to afford this kind of advertisement in a million years. He was referring to full pages in daily papers that would report on her appearance in the show, so yes, the profits of the show definitely benefited because of her.
Of course, the whole show became a joke amongst theatre lovers and were a slap in the face for a lot of talented people out there but it's all about the cash at the end of the day.

By the way, she mimed to her own voice. Her voice was too weak and shaky for a live performance, hence they brought her into a studio, recorded and enhanced her voice and off she went to mime to her own voice in Rent.

See, I am so certain she didn't lip synch Over The Moon. I saw her in the production and her voice was strong but very unpleasant and tuneless for Over The Moon compared to how light but vaguely in tune she was for Take Me Or Leave Me. Plus, surely it's very difficult to lip synch Over The Moon, no? For TMOLM they restyled her hair so it was over her face and you couldn't see her mouth properly, which they didn't do for OTM.
