Wow! The lyrics "would you light my candle" will now be replaced with "if you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends..."

Nicole Leach from FAME would make a great Mimi!!

She looks like Mimi but I'm not sure if she can act.

Hmm...I don't like this news. RENT was always intended to feature new up-and-coming talent. How old is she? Isn't she 30 something??? She had to have been in her 20's when she was with the Spice Girls. I don't think Jonathan Larson whould have been happy with the "star" casting....although I would love to see Neil Patrick Harris play Mark on Broadway as he did in LA.

actually daphne was what 27 I think when she did mimi. I am 27 and i could easily pull off a 19 year old. (hopefully god will be good to me when i really need it)

I agree give her a chance I mean she is already cast...people will either see her or not. although I do not see a big windfall for scary spice. I just hope they do not make her name bigger then jonathan larsons...haha

Oh please...she's gonna add new meaning to 'I'm 19, but I'm old for my age'.

It's like Ellyn Burstyn taking on Juliet!

oh dear.... I guess you guys know how I feel about stunt-casting for the most part.... but this is very interesting. I mean, she certainly looks the part and can sing it well for sure, but still... I'm not sure how I feel about this. At first glance it was laughable, but I'm not too happy. I wonder if she can act.

As much as I love RENT, I think this is the last year for the show.

LocalOne, you must be a very close friend of Daphne. How sweet of you to tell complete strangers that she lies about her age!

I wish I had a friend like you!
