She was just 'weird' in the role. Not Maureen weird, but crazy ass 'why on earth would anyone...let alone Joanne' like her . Simon Cowell would have likeability problems with her! (Onstage that is, i'm sure she's a lovely person). She also had a slightly weird French/English/Canadian/US Celine Dion type speaking voice. I didn't see her from the rush seats...if I had I may have got up, slapped her and ask her why she was being weird. Ditto Bonny Lockhart who was our first Benny. Is a US accent and an ability to sing it like it was written really THAT hard? x

"by the way - aren't there some rent people in the film as extras? i heard that one of the alers sisters was in costume onset in Cali - does anyone know anything about this?"

Yassmin, she has pictures from the set on her website.

Ugh, Patronus, why do I have the feeling that some of those AI people may actual pop up in Rent if the movie doesn't boost sales enough to the producers liking? *knocks wood*

You know what would be REALLY great, is if we could just switch out the current RENT cast with the current cast from another show. lol What would be the worst then? Ok, well, I know it's no longer playing, but how about this one? RENT switches with the cast of Little Women! Imagine it...Sutton Foster as Maureen....Maureen McGovern as MIMI! lol Ohhhh....that's really a nightmare!

Pink - Maureen

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

scary spice was a nightmare! as was manly pope when i saw him. and as for future casting- pamala anderson as maureen.

"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell plus i proudly share the title of the shortest member over the age of 10 with wickedrentq!

I'm both fascinated and frightened by the notion of Brittany Murphy as Maureen.

Joey Fatone actually was fine as Mark acting/singing-wise, he just didn't look the part
There was a tour cast I saw a about 4 or 5 years ago that had an absolutely horrible Collins who played the role like he would have rather played Angel

Kelly Clarkson has an amazing voice, why shouldn't she be on Broadway?

I'm still trying to wrap my head around someone calling the OBC a "nightmare cast" ::shakes head sadly::

"Kelly Clarkson has an amazing voice, why shouldn't she be on Broadway?"

So does Celine Dion, but that doesn't necessarily mean she'd be good acting in a Broadway show. Not saying that I dont think Kelly deserves a chance if she wants to be on Broadway tho. Hopefully she would a get a role because she deserves it, not just because of her popularity, but it's not like we haven't seen stunt casting just for the sake of stunt casting before.

Im pretty sure my nightmare cast of Rent involves Mariah Carey, or any of the Simpson or Duff sisters.

There's always room for pathos - and jazz hands.

Hahaha

What about when Caprice played Maureen....I heard she wasn't even really singing her songs.

I personally think that Beyonce' could have played Mimi..in the movie...she would have been sexy as hell...I deep down inside you know she would have been good.

Mariah Carey as Mimi..wait thats scary as hell cause her nickname is Mimi...Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh...anyways I wouldn't have a problem with it but she would do a Pearl Bailey and when the crowd cheered for her she would do the whole scene again.

I heard somewhere that Justin Timberlake was really trying to be roger in the movie. I'm not a huge adam pascal fan but that would have been terrible!

As for Jessica Simpson( or any little pop diva) as Maureen (or mimi, or joann, or ANYONE), NOOOOO NO NONONONONONO! I'd rather they close the show. Though I'm sure simpson doing girl on girl would boost the sales....

Here's mine...

Ryan Seacrest as Mark.
Daniel Powter as Collins.
And I agree, Jessica Simpson as Maureen would be pretty BAD.

"Does nobody else think that Mel B. (aka Scary Spice) was not also a nightmare? I saw it and it was TERRIBLE!"

Was that why she is called Scary Spice?

I realize this is an old thread, but I've never understood the point of listing actors who you feel would be horrible in certain roles. I could say Rosie O'Donnell and Star Jones for ALL of the roles and probably trump anyone's well thought-out "nightmare cast."

All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever."
