Because we don't have enough unconvincing 20-somethings in RENT as it is.

I would cast the usual way, with auditions ... where people sing part of a song. And then I'd have them read a scene. And if a lot of people show up, I might type first.

We now all see, Anna, that you are about as good at casting as you are at making us believe that Jesus loves you.

So is Glea Michelphaba going to be playing Maureen or not? Because I think that would cause BroadwaySecrets to spontaneously combust.

I expect that Southern California native and Rent alum Eden Espinosa will reprise her Maureen.

Does that mean that Southern California native and Rent alum Shaun Earl will reprise his Angel? Because I hope not.

So to recap, you want Matthew Morrison to play Roger and ANNE HATHAWAY to play Maureen?

Dude.

Lady Gaga as Mimi. That's all the casting you need.

Even if Hathaway COULD belt, Hathaway as Maureen? And Morrison as Roger? Michelle Williams as Mimi? Have you ever seen Rent?
