Shia Labeouf, Raven-Symone, Tia & Tamara Mowry. Give Disney kids a chance. All of them are not Talent less. I honestly think Raven'd make a REALLY funny Maureen.(If she didn't sing with her throat, which can be easily fixed.) And I don't think we should say anything about Zac until we see him in Hairspray. His singing might just work out. But, if the stuff from HSM was to high for him then I think Roger or Mark would be murder.
I admit it, I love Raven. I'd see her in anything.
Oh my God, you're RIGHT?!?!!? WHAT IF HE DID?!?!?!?!
Like, if he did it. He would be doing it. What if he did AND was doing it?!?!
Whoa.
Ahaha, I actually laughed out loud reading that.

I, too, like Raven. I think she's a good actress and seems to be a good person. She's coming to my town to give some sort of motivational speech. I'm considering going, it would be interesting.
Well, I'm always first to leap up and defend the poor kid, because I genuinely think he'll do a fine job in 'Hairspray' based on my own observations and comments by Marc Shaiman, but there is a world of difference between movie musicals and Broadway, as I'm sure we're all well aware, and I don't think he's currently suitable for Broadway. He's young though! Who knows? ^_^
*personally thinks RENT will close before Zac will be right for it but eh*

The kid has some talent, but I would sooner die than see him on broadway.
Is that the production with Billy Crystal as Benny, Tom Hanks as Mimi and Meg Ryan as Mark?
You have NO idea what I would pay to see the Nora Ephron version of Rent.
"The kid has some talent, but I would sooner die than see him on broadway."
lol that was hilarious.
I would go see Raven. But if Zac Efron is ever in RENT I will never go to a broadway show again, EVER! (well...maybe not ever)
I wouldnt mind seeing Raven as Joanne she might actually be very very good but Zac Effron should never come to NYC.
Raven as Joanne...HMMMMM. But imagine how many 8-12 kids will be at Rent if she plays in Rent.
Someone said he's 18 and too young to play LINK.
That makes no sense.
Curtain, I think they meant he looks too young. Personally, I think he looks like he is 14 years old.
It might teach the 8-12 year old kids some tolerence. I think she'd make a way better Maureen than Joanne.
If Zac EVER did RENT, I think I can only see him as Angel !
he looks a little too sweet and un ruined to be in RENT...he's really 18? I thought he was at max 16
Well, I lyke really shouldn't say this cuz I don't wanna get ne1 in truble, but I have lyke a really good friend who works for Spamalot and she sez that Zac is gunna be the next Lady of the Lake when Idina's contract expires. Yeah, cuz Idina is the next Lady of the Lake. Ha! I newz that b4 all you suckurz.
This thread makes me laugh WAY too much. Raven as Maureen is such an off the wall idea that it might work.

Raven would be an awesome Maureen.
Zac, however... please stay away from RENT. Notice I didn't say Broadway. I think he could pull it off in a couple of years. But RENT? I agree with gustof777, he looks too "sweet and un ruined".

I personally think that if you just stick some glasses on Zac, he'd make a good Mark.
well I think that even if you could make him Mark he still would look way too young when put up against the others in the cast who are all atleast somewhat into their 20s and some older than that.

I'd actually love to see Raven as Joanne! But whoever said "think of all the 10 to 14 year olds who'd see it just for her"! That would be bad!
