Gotta say, maybe its just my interpretation but...Mimi kinda IS childish. She's 19 years old. She acts like she's 19 years old if you listen to a lot of her dialogue (or the song 'Out Tonight': she's definitely a teenager who wanted to grow up to fast, made play at being a 'bad girl' and landed in a bad way because of it) Sure, Mimi has been through a lot more shit than most girls her age; but she's still a 19 year old who spends the majority of the play pining over the neighbour boy.

vanessa did better in this song, not that that's saying much.... eh, you can't blame the poor girl. as other commenters have noted, neil did cast her, and who would turn down the role if offered it? would you? even though i'm nowhere near broadway caliber, if someone wanted me to be the lead in rent, i must admit it would be very hard for me to say no. i think she clearly enjoys the part and brings a youthful innocence to it in place of the jaded world-weariness of all the other mimis. she's not very good, but she's not as awful as she could have been.

Honestly, i think Vanessa plays a wonderful Mimi i mean she isnt the Mimi in the movie nor the original play but she certainly played the shit out of this role and its not that shes childish its just that her voice is too damn high but she really isnt that bad. However, everyone is entitle to their own opinion.

THANK U! I totally agree with u. I mean, I absolutely love Rosario Dawson's acting and all but everytime I see Rent the movie, when Roger says ''U look like 15'' I'm like 'no she doesn't'... Vanessa is the first one I'm seeing playing Mimi that actually makes me believe Mimi's 19. And it is not something look-related.

The problem with Vanessa as Mimi is that she is not theatre. She is an actor and an occasional singer. People tend to push aside how hard theatre performers have it, we have to put the 3 arts together and keep them on pointe. She isn't the best for Mimi, but at the end of the day Mimi is quite a tough role to play and keep up with. Considering she is an actor mainly, she did really well in this show.

Its true, I felt so bad when the critics destroyed her. Live theatre is difficult and demanding. Though it does seem like Disney doctored her voice in the HSM franchise. However she isn't as bad as everyone said. Plus I think that all of the Rent songs have difficult notes in them.

One thing I noticed is Vanessa doesn't have the stamina for a live show. Sure, she sounds fine here, but Out Tonight and Light My Candle were... horrendous in my opinion. She doesn't have the ability to keep her vocals tight and in tune in an upbeat song, while manuevering around a stage, and interacting with another actor. Here, she is relaxed bc the song is slower. She does have a decent, good voice and shes beautiful but shes not a good all around actress, not for stage. Not for Rent or Mimi.

@princessvanessahsm not sure if you are serious, but Roger and Mimi have just realized that they both have AIDS, and Roger is still trying to heal from his last girl friend's suicide. He's terrified to let himself get close to anyone else and Mimi is wearing down his defenses. She's explaining that she understands and she's scared too, so after fighting with himself Roger decides to take her outside and kiss her, which Mark describes and can be seen (on stage) at the end of the song.

the thing is with vanessa hudgens, as adorable as she is, she's too conscious. she is a decent actress and singer and she focused too much on herself and not on the character--the feelings and the emotions. Note that Mimi was a pivotal character in the play who shows emotional depth. had Vanessa understood the complexity of it and was able to convince that she was it, it would have been more successful. The fact tht she was casted as Mimi, the producer/s believed that she could do it.
