Posted: 4/9/10 at 2:19pmRosario's acting was good but her singing was ungodly boring. No soul to it.

Posted: 4/9/10 at 2:25pmIts interesting how we always want to bash the star that is miscast. Shouldn't we be bashing the person who made the awful casting choice. It's unfair to the people who are ill equipped to play the role.

Posted: 4/9/10 at 2:27pmNot that this makes me happy but everyone always bitches that they never get anyone that looks the age range......

Posted: 4/9/10 at 2:35pmI agree with these last statements. Well, she does look the part and has the same age Mimi is supposed to have. Now what?

I hope she's good but the only time I've heard her sing without autotune was here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vrR6Im_RDo
Not super impressive.

"what i would not give to stage door and have her sign some of those nudes she took of herself."
Brilliant!
vanessa hudgens to star as mimi in rent while smoking a bowl#35
Posted: 4/9/10 at 4:08pmShe's already done that.

Posted: 4/9/10 at 4:09pmNot for an audience though!

Posted: 4/9/10 at 4:16pmI went to three random reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and not one of them was a review that Rosario Dawson walked away with. One said she was eminently likable, which is certainly a compliment, but no, I don't really think she and her robotic singing walked away with the reviews.

Posted: 4/9/10 at 4:17pmAs disappointed as I am, I trust Neil Patrick Harris. I don't think he would have cast her if she's as completely horrible as we expect.

Posted: 4/9/10 at 4:19pmoh please, nph cast her because she got zac to "american idiot" him.

NPH is having a fight with Perez. They both come off quite stupid.

I don't think Neil comes off as stupid but I wonder why he's even deigning Perez with a response.
Anyway I'm trying really hard not to judge this because she could be great for all we know...and at the very least, she may be the first Mimi to actually look 19 years old.

Posted: 4/9/10 at 8:22pmFWIW Jessica Biel was a pleasant surprise in Guys and Dolls.

Really, I think everyone who's so disgusted by this just needs to take a chill pill. This is the Hollywood Bowl we're talking about, the venue that brought us Jessica Biel in Guys and Dolls. It's a three-day production. Basically this is community theatre for Hollywood stars.
Breathe. Calm down. Worst-case scenario, she sucks for three days and then goes back to shooting Sketchers ads and banging Zac Efron in Hawaii. She could surprise us all, who knows?

Posted: 4/10/10 at 8:27amGee, Neil Parick Harris's opinion, who actually starred in the show and makes his living singing and dancing, auditioned her and is putting his creative reputation on line in front of all of Hollywood, VS a bunch of anonymous "theater lovers" who's only brush with theater is buying a ticket to a non Equity tour. Hmmmm what a dilemma. The funniest part is that 99.99% of you won't ever even see the show.

Posted: 4/10/10 at 8:30amLOL You are always such a pill, amoni.

I love you, amoni. This sentence makes up for your incorrect use of "who's."

Posted: 4/10/10 at 12:56pmI've never heard her sing live, so I can't honestly judge her singing, but none of her roles have really proven that she has the acting skills for it. But maybe she'll surprise us! I thinks she looks the part though. I'm going so I'm really looking forward to seeing how she turns out.

Posted: 4/10/10 at 1:12pmNow they need to cast a young Roger or that relationship will appear even creepier than it already is.
