Renee's "Out Tonight" performance from Rent: Filmed Live on Broadway

The athleticism in the choreography is impressive enough, but the fact that her voice is so steady throughout the dance is insane

[@rzawilski]

Seriously! I think Rosario’s voice was the best for the role - it has that sort of raspy rock sound - but Renee’s voice is arguably the most powerful and well-trained.

[@kitteridgesimpson8144]

Juliette Wood yes

[@leilanihanaike]

I agree, but you do also have to remember that this was filmed in multiple parts. Some of it was the closeups and some of it was the live performance in front of the crowd. She is my favorite Mimi as well, but keep that in mind. They made sure it was perfect.

[@tifafan]

Juliette Wood and she was 37, playing a 19 year old. She is awesome.

[@kdvn1]

Rosario is the best

[@randolfdiaz5493]

Juliette Wood I just saw this musical im Aruba. They were amazing! She rocked the stage!

this performance is actually insane. this a true example of a triple threat. comparing renee's mimi out tonight performance to vanessa's makes you realize how freaking talented renee is.

[@voldemortslover007]

People need to realize you can't compare Rosario to Renee or any other Mimi on Broadway because live theatre and film are completely different formats. Of course this performance is going to be way different than the movie. No joke. You can't compare them unless you've seen them both in similar formats.

[@jennquinn1117]

I didn't think of it that way. I guess Rosario could of had multiple takes to get it perfect.

[@TheNotoriousDUDE]

Do people actually not like Rosario's performance? I thought she was perfect for the role.

Two things. 1. Of course, her little stint upside down is awesome. But I’m more impressed at her core strength staying upright and balanced when she’s standing on the high railings. And looks totally fearless doing it. 2. Her little run on ‘chrome’ still gives me life 10 years later. 😍

[@SapphireMoon101]

I don't get why people are comparing Renee with Rosario 😐 I think both are great! Renee is definitely more animated and energetic, and while some may say it's overkill, we need to remember that this is a LIVE MUSICAL, meaning no fancy effects - she has to make up for that somehow

[@beckybailey9586]

Rosario’s voice, seriously? No shade to Dawson but you’re comparing a studio version to a live version... she got to stand still in a studio with headphones on and sing it as many times as she needed to and punch in every little part until it was exactly right. Anyway in terms of character I think Daphne’s voice suits Mimi the best anyway. It has that fat contralto timbre, giving Mimi the rough edge she should rightfully have

She's not flat or sharp or dropping out words and notes she hit everything while being all over the place. Masculine? i totally disagree. This number is all about sex, she portrays how rough it can be. I guess i'm biased because i loved her in OLTL, but i loved it!!!

[@tarachandra7158]

Sophie Andrew omlll that’s so true- like totally respect Hamilton, but the fandom is full of 12 year olds- that put historical characters in ships and take it way out of contact.

Funniest story. We're doing a musical theatre class and came up with a script. I chose this for a solo, in the context of the character trying to convince her friend to go out to have fun for the night. Girl playing the friend wanted to solo "Burn" from Hamilton, so my character name was changed to Angelica to fit lyrics from the song "Burn". I came to this video, saw the comments, googled, and found out she played Angelica in Hamilton. What are the odds??! 😂😂😂
