I love when people cite Wikipedia as confirmation of something.

Me too. Remember when it said Gaiken will be on Broadway. Oh wait, that came true.
He's a faker, and you've been taken in by his con. And in doing so, you are enabling him. He is doing more damage to aspergers than papa's words ever could. -Chane/Liverpool on me having asperger syndrome.

If this is true, it makes no sense. They're bringing in top notch "broadway" people for the final cast and they keep Tamyra? She hasn't helped the grosses since she has been in the cast, has mixed reviews and has a pretty horrible attendance record. Additionally she has sustained a few injuries while with the show and seems bored.
They should either legit stunt cast or bring back an old school Mimi (::cough::Sharon Leal or Marcy ::cough::).

I don't believe it to be true because it came from wikipedia. However, it wouldn't shock me if it were.
They are bringing in Eden and Will Chase two top notch Broadway performers to be part of the closing cast. Eden is someone who has gotten a name for herself by doing both Brooklyn and being in Wicked. She is someone who if she wants to is at the point in her carrier where she could originate another role on Broadway. Yet, she is choosing to come and close Rent.
As I said if this is true it wouldn't shock me but I have my doubts as to if the producers would actually keep Gray in to be the final Mimi.

I think Karmine should be the final Mimi. That girl is brilliant.

Amen on Karmine. 
So, that was the Drowsy Chaperone. Oh, I love it so much. I know it's not a perfect show...but it does what a musical is supposed to do. It takes you to another world, and it gives you a little tune to carry with you in your head for when you're feeling blue. Ya know?

"Unfortunately"
Not according to Spamalot cast.
Yeah, and I'm sure the producers were thrilled with that big bump in ticket sales his stuntcast provided. Oh wait...

i think tamyra is the best mimi ever!! she has such a powerful beautiful voice and no one can deny that, when she sings the songs like goodbye love she does it with so much emotion,its really moving, she's a great dancer and actress. viva tamyra!!!
mel b was a horrible mimi, rosario dawson dont even get me started, antonique over did it, daphne's too old and theres a reason why karmine is an understudy
i love her with declan too, i wish he never left

Being an understudy doesn't necessarily mean that you aren't as good *if not sometimes, better* than the person who actually has the role.
In fact some folks began their Broadway careers coming in as an understudy and blowing the audience away with an amazing performance.
that said.. Marcy is fairly long in the tooth now too.. but wow.. was she a great Mimi

anything you do let it come from you and it will be new.

I love Marcy. I agree that she's old for it now, but...man, that would be great.
The only way I can see this being true is if they were aiming for someone bigger and didn't succeed in getting her. Which is, unfortunately, entirely possible.
