Imagine being 19 years old and making your Broadway debut as Regina George
Karyne Olcott Imagine being 19 and having enough talent where you can make your Broadway debut as Regina George
but she's so so good i'm literally speechless- so baffled
My freaking dream💖ugh I’m so jealous
@Anonymous She slays it! I still prefer reginas original actress but damn she can totally live up to that
Karyne Olcott IKR,
Can you imagine being Reneé Rapp? Making your broadway debut at 19, as a LEAD!
Andrew Barth Feldman was 16 when he started as Evan Hansen! And Sophia Anne Caruso was 14-15 when she started on Broadway! It’s amazing how age doesn’t matter for broadway :)
@@theatreenthusiast_5767 what was Sophia in?
Sewit H. I believe Lazarus?
@@theatreenthusiast_5767 is that a musical?
Sewit H. I believe so.
I saw Mean Girls in April and the girl playing Cady got sick off stage in the middle of the performance so they had to pause the show, close the curtain, and turn on the house lights. 10 minutes later her understudy came on and performed the whole show without missing a beat! It still amazes me how talented everyone on broadway is!
omg in the middle of a song??
spicy tea offstage.
I WAS THERE AHAHAH
@@tobedetermined1976 im so interested in this lol was erika on stage before she got sick?
spicy tea I can’t remember exactly but I think she just finished singing “it roars” and then they went to a scene with a classroom with Erika backstage and then they stopped it, closed the curtains and said they would be back in like 10 mins and then her understudy did the rest of the show and she was amazing
No one:
Literally no one:
Barret:
“So your best friend screwed you over,”
“Acted nice when she nOT nIcE”
When did she say that?
Sierra The Dancer 13 around 10:00
and since she played veronica in heathers as well, then technically 3 times because of heather chandler
lover of cats but..... heather wasn’t her best friend
Martha: am I a joke to you?
Me: relatable unfortunately
renee rapp is the unsung hero of teenage broadway
tallulah may
Wait how old is she??? Any yonger than 20 and I’m deadddddd XD
@@myaisnotonfire she's 19. Her and Sophia Anne Caruso and Andrew from DEH (idk his last name sorry) are the holy trinity of bway teens
more like the beautifully sung hero 🤩🤩
@@misssupercookie2011 and mallory bechtel!
@@marinao4412 all these teens are out on bway and I'm over here aged 21 eating cereal for dinner and avoiding assignments 😂
I’m not gonna lie, I was worried about Renee, not because of vocal skill, but because I wondered whether a 19 year old would be believable as the “apex predator” amongst people in their mid twenties, but she really has that “Regina” feel to her. You can tell she’s put a lot of thought into her portrayal of the character.
Shannon Casey she’s definitely got what it takes! i saw her perform as regina and it was amazing!! she has such a great villain feel to her
I can tell that just from this performance! She’s gonna go so far considering she can do so well at such a demanding role this young! I mean she’s already gone far, but even farther!!
Plus she looks at least 30, although she acts like a 12 year old.
I absolutely love her Regina. She just LOOKS like a high school mean girl. But she’s of course like the sweetest person ever. 😂
RealityBytes how does she act like she’s 12?
Honestly cannot understand the people saying Barrett just doesn’t want to be there. She’s said herself she was sick around this time, and the little problems with her performance sound clearly like results of a sickness and not strain or boredom with the show. She’s literally smiling the whole way through. Some people are just looking out for her because they know she suffered damage from Heathers, but others are just being straight up rude and searching for a reason to hate when there isn’t one.
Agreed. One of the first things I noticed in this performance was how much she was smiling and dancing around.
wait what happed to her from heathers?
@@tamarrr2955 She has a lot of vocal damage from Heathers, she still has such a great voice! But her voice definitely is working hard, especially after Heathers.
So agreeable. Also she is playing a goth and that’s the character’s personality
Shannon Casey - I also think Barret is a kind of shy, socially awkward person who is a lot more at home on a theatre stage.
Everyone saying Barrett looks over it. Isn’t that her character? Just saying.
This was my thought too. Janis wouldn't be jumping and dancing and smiling. Barrett just seemed in character to me, and I thought her vocals were great, considering she's been having some health issues.
@@meredithm.7127 what heath issues?
Lidia Mary when she was in Heathers she totally ruined her voice and it hasn't been healthy since
@@dudelol5657 She has TMJ (jaw pain) and missed a few shows recently.
@@meredithm.7127 True. I saw on Barrett's Instagram.
Me before seeing this video: I'm kinda decent at singing...
Me after seeing this video: Well, it must be nice to be able to sing...
Omg same this whole comment section is me
S A M E
Same
“People forget I’m human too”
OMG WITH THAT VOICE ARE U ACTUALLY HUMAN?!
How is Barrett 30, she looks 20
Michael Young more like 16! 😱
Michael Young wait she’s 30?! I thought she was still in her 20s
Michael Young WHAT she cannot be that age how is she 30 years old
Oh *t h o s e a r e j u s t r u m o r s*
she’s immortal
I swear Barrett’s “not nice” changes everytime she performs this song 😂
It does😂
FOR REAL HAHHAHAHA she’s so cute
Someone please give Renee Rapp an AMAZING role to originate when she’s done with mean Girls
nice pfp 👌🏻👌🏻
Periodt
Dylan Smith I think Renee would make a great Jane Seymour in SiX
• Jane Seymour •
I can see her as more of an Aragon or a Parr, not Seymour
**internal screaming** eh, I can’t see her playing Aragon or Parr honestly
The fact that Renee is one the best vocalists I’ve heard in theatre and she’s not even 20 like I have no hope
im gay for every single female in the Mean Girls cast.
Kermit 69 MOOD
Literally me
Omg same 😂
I’ve always thought I was the straightest person ever but this entire cast proves me wrong daily
Same
use me as an "im stupid in love with danielle wade" button
or as an im in love with reneé rapp (regina) button
I SAW HER AS JANIS ON BROADWAY AND BOY SHE IS AMAZING
she’s canadian and i grew up seeing her in shows and i did a workshop with her last summer and she’s the nicest human 💓 i’m so so happy for her!💖
she’s the best
danielle lived in my town and we actually performed together at an event! she's such a sweet person and i'm so proud of her!
I don't really see/hear why people think Barrett is tired in this. I think she sounds great. She's not fully committing because this is just for fun. However, she is still throwing in the funny Janis-isms and she looks like she's having a great time. I'm not saying she's perfect (no one is) but I feel like I've definitely heard her sound a lot more tired than she does in this.
Me too. I also don't get why people think she looks bored. She's bopping around and dancing and smiling.
@@misssupercookie2011 tbh, I think people just like to push the "Barrett has bad technique and she strains too much" narrative.
@@elizabeth-ut4ru Well, music is subjective I guess. Also I know nothing about technique and vocals and blah blah blah
Also her technique sounded fine in this!
@@gabbysullivan4764 I agree!
Daniel Wade really brings the Cady character (especially because she Cadys supposed to be 16) she is brilliant in the role !!!
I don't think she's 16. Unless I'm wrong. I was under the impression she's much older.
Lucinda Rose “I’m sixteen, living in paradise...”
@@emilymcdermott I'm talking about Danielle, not Cady . I can't find her age anywhere🤔
That's my point... she plays a 16 year old really well for someone that isn't 16
@@bethreid9444 oh ok the way you phrased threw my brain off lol I was very confused
reneé rapp makes it look effortless
i feel like barret is ready for bigger better things, she is amazing, but her voice sounds like it just needs a break from belting
Connortheunicorn Magic I agree
She was sick the whole week that’s why her voice don’t sound as normal
@@emma-lz6rq she knows herself better than y'all do, plus she's so talented that any show would accept her if she decided to move on, but she obviously isn't yet. Give the girl a break
@@leylakeyne2607 they were just trying to help- if you are losing you voice or your voice is weak a break may be best, and that's okay!
@@georgesbleps897 I know that, barret herself had a rant on her insta story about giving herself a break every once in a while, especially if she thinks she needs one. Which means she obviously didn't feel like she needed one or else she wouldn't have performed
Renee has great technique! Her voice is going to last her FOREVER.
well... it's even better now!! which I didn't even think possible
Imagine being as beautiful and talented as....
Every female actress/singer in this musical cast because everybody is amazing and beautiful not just one person
0:56 Stupid with love
3:58 Apex predator
6:54 Someone gets hurt
9:51 I'd Rather be me
That's all folks!
I need to watch Looney Toons again man...
i would die for barrett wilbert weed
Jordan Frank me too seriously
Same
Danielle Wade is so freaking cute. And talented. That little smile. I’m dead.
I absolutely LOVE how Renee portrays Regina. I saw Taylor as Regina and I feel like Taylor played Regina more as movie typical mean girl regina(which I loved) and Renee amps up the manipulation and sexy and is just downright EVIL. Both are so amazing and I’d LOVE to see Renee as Regina
The way they both take on Regina and preform as her is amazing. I think Taylor portrays her as someone who is evil but misunderstood and has a reason for being so mean, however Renee just makes her down right evil and a bitch for no reason and I love both interpretations. They’re both so talented woman!
Danielle: I decided to be a mathematician
Girl in the crown: AwW yEaH
Barrett's riffs are so adorable I'm in love
Also I wonder if it's coincidental that Barrett/Janis is the only one not wearing pink....
Would Janis wear pink?
@@lucycrossley2281 I don't think so; there's a moment in the show where Cady asks if either Janis or Damian have a pink shirt and Janis replies "no" and sounds rather grossed out by the idea.
danielle has a black shirt with the pink shorts (like she got the shirt from janis and became a plastic second), janis is in all black (bc janis), and regina has on the pink shirt with the big print (makes her plastic status known). when casts go to these events they tend to dress at least a little in accordance w their role
janis doesnt own anything pink remember
Ik that Janis wouldn’t wear something fully pink, but let me just quickly remind you what top she wore in “apex predator” (show, not other performances). But still, the mean girls-pink isn’t completely like Janis to wear
barrett probably looks like she doesn’t wanna be there cause she’s in character and janis is- well janis
YEP! And she is sick at this performance :)
She looked like she was having Hella fun but also just sounded kinda congested. But OMFG her talent. All of them. Holy shit. Powerhouses all of them.
OMGOMG This is the first Danielle performance I've seen and I could totally see her playing Zoe in Dear Evan Hansen and I kinda need that to happen right now
dany rodb I just commented that too! Then I saw your comment! 🙀
I saw her Janis on Broadway and that way amazing too. I think she’s a very versatile actress.
Yes she would be such a great Zoeeeeeeee
Dani wade is so freaking cute
Sydney Clam right ?! I love her sm
Barrett makes me so happy when she sings I'd Rather Be Me live, she KNOWS how to hit those notes and to see that Heathers didn't completely destroy her all those years ago feels good
i love danielle's cady! more innocent and joyful, and also it's interesting to hear the songs belted rather than mixed, like erika does
i actually cannot believe I saw renee rapp perform someone gets hurt.. like.. she's so amazing i might cry
Barrett sounds really really great here, I'm so confused by these comments ???
han nah I think it’s more a matter of her looking over it rather sounding over it. She will never sound over it she’s just too talented lol
everyone’s saying she sounds sick but i feel like she didn’t sound any different???
Honestly I have seen a ton of these comments, but haven't actually seen one where they say she looks tired yet.
It’s idiot people who think they know someone they’re a fan of better than she knows herself.
Amanda Heywood she is sick those people are not dumb
renee has that regina glare i love her
the comments be like:
90% “barrett is amazing here what are ppl saying”
7% “renee’s voice is amazing how is she only 19”
2% “danielle makes a good Cady”
1% the actual comments about Barrett looking tired and uninterested
Barrett was sick at the time thats why she looked tired
Barrett ALWAYS looks tired
i mean, isn’t that her character though??
Barret is 30, leave her be😌
Renee looks like a Barbie doll
A.J. Caberto that’s because she is one of the plastics
for real i hope i look like her in a year when 19 lmao
renee is now my favorite regina- i saw taylor, who is equally as good, but i feel that renee has a more accurate essence as regina
stop saying stuff ab barrett. she sounds amazing here. plus anyone would be tired after 8 shows a week. cut her some slack. she’s extremely talented
@Olivia Erickson can i just say heathers involved a lot of belting and high notes. even if she does sound tired that's likely because most of the rest of this cast are new to the show so it's easier for them to be more energetic. She's dancing around and bopping her head, she's okay. Barret is a very strong singer and she's smart, she'll give her voice a rest when she needs to, she had a whole rant about it on instagram.
she was getting ill a lot recently and still doesn't really come off as that tired to me
I love how Renée and Danielle bring something new to the character not just try to copy Erika and Taylor, I love how Danielle says some of her lines in her songs especially how well she expresses emotion in the song and Renée is amazing too the way she sings her songs are so amazing and still so different from taylors
Who else filled in the missing parts in their head?
Quincy Mangi me: JANIS JANIS JANIS
danielle has the perfect combination of staying true to the songs but also adding her own personality and customizing it to be her own, but in a way that it sounds very natural and not like she is trying to change it
Danielle is amazing! Also Reneé makes singing Someone Gets Hurt sound effortless omg.
2:35 even she was surprised she belted that haha
am i only the one who rewinded ever time renée said god you’re hot why do you even wear a shirt like OH MY GOD THAT PART HIT DIFFERENT WITH THE VOICE AND THE FACE SHE MAKES😭🥵
People are not appreciating that Barrett actually has the hardest songs/hardest role vocally. And she's soooooooooooo good. She literally gets no rest in the whole I'd rather be me song, so high and fast all the damn time, I was exhausted just from listening to it
Renee's eyebrows are almost as perfect as her voice omg
I personally think Barrett sounds really fabulous here. I understand where people are coming from though. she’s not wearing a load of makeup so she’s more natural faced. She was sick this whole week, so that also factors into it. I’m not trying to sound insensitive by saying she shouldn’t take a break. Not at all. But Barrett is incredibly talented. Take all the other things into consideration and pile that on top of performing it outside, where some sound gets distorted, and the fact that she’s been doing this for years. It makes sense that she’s really tired, but she still sounds great! She’s really a performer who puts out her best no matter what❤️
C. Gillingham yess!!
whoever sang Stupid with Love for some reason i could see her as Katherine in Newsies
Oh my gosh, I didn't think about that but yes! I would love to see her play Katherine.
Okay but like when barred just casually flips everyone off her finger, looks so, good. Like ik its weird but her finger looks so good. My finger looks like a tater tot when I do that. xD
everyones like: "imagine being as talented as renee rapp" or "imagine being as successful as renee rapp" but just: imagine BEING RENEE RAPP
i wan't Renée Rapp's preformance to play in my head 24/7
how did 13 year old me spell “want” wrong LMAOO 💀💀
Hello! To all the Barrett fans... If you can't tell, before she starts singing she is Barrett and smiling and happy, and afterwards when she's done she's Barrett again. During? She's in character as Janis; maybe not fully, but she isn't "done" as herself, she's literally being Janis but not fully. I can say this because I do that oftentimes too when singing a solo.
Why is this cast so awesome!??
I’ve been asking myself that for about a year now.
Barrett has my heart
I love how the girl that played Janis was Veronica in Heathers 😭✊ I love both ❤❤
RENEÉ SOUNDING LIKE THIS AT 19????? INSANITY
danielle wade is literally the cutest person ever. her little giggles and laughs throughout stupid with love are adorableeeee
Ok, I have not seen a single comment saying barrett was bored, and yet people are saying “everybody’s saying Barrett is bored, that’s her character.” Seriously, stop
honestly I don't know what everyone is talking about, Barrett sounds the best I've heard her in a little while and while she def is sick in these, she sounds just fine and healthy to me
Renee, Barrett and Danielle all smashed it. Wish I could see mean girls on broadway I’d Rather Be Me is my favourite song to ever exist ❤️
People are commenting on Barretts voice but you can tell that she is having fun and I like how she mixed it up as she didn't really have to play a character. Although I do agree that she might need a rest.
Reneé is absolutely incredible such a special talent
OMG! Reneé Rapp is amazing!!
barrett is usually given very vocally demanding roles. with that being said, having a solid technique comes into play. barrett is EXTREMELY talented. she booked Veronica and now Janis for a reason. that belt is out of this world. but to me, Barrett at times gets lazy with her technique and it shows. if Barrett truly is sick, which makes sense due to the shakiness of her sustained belts, and the nasal quality in her voice, then i applaud her for performing here. singing when you’re sick is literally like asking to die. so. barrett could do better if she kept up with a healthy technique. also, i hope she feels better.
honestly nobody asked for your opinion
emma grace richardson and the need to be rude comes from where exactly?
emma grace richardson u should probably tell they to the rest of the comment section then...
the thing about her “technique being sloppy” is that her character isn’t a prim and proper character. Her character is very just whatever punk rocky! So would you imagine a punk rock singer to have perfect technique? no of course not! AND this is just a mini concert so she might have just been pulling her punches because she has to do this show and these songs 8 times a week on top of this 🥵 just my thoughts tho
carter wright and she was sick around that time
I don't feel Barrett is tired, given that she's had some health issues recently I think she killed it. She's in character and yeah ok maybe she missed a couple of the higher notes but she still killed it in my opinion. Dead good :)
i saw mean girls this past summer and let me tell u. Renee is so sweet 🥺 she complimented my nails and was just so friendly with everyone
The girl who yells yeah in the audience during stupid with love when Cady says she wanted to be a mathematician is everything
Reneé Rapp was so good in Mean Girl 2024! I saw it with my dad and he loved it too!
Love to hear it!!!
Imagine walking behind the stage not knowing that like 20 feet from you is some of the best singers on Broadway.
It’s just amazing to see how much Renée has grown into her character. I mean she was already phenomenal and a lot of times belting out those songs on pretty much a daily basis destroys the actor’s!actress’s voice but it just made hers that much stronger
Why can't I have a voice like Renee's instead of a dying whale's :(
Barrett is a true broadway superstar. I could listen to her sing all day long. A truly glorious talent. I wish her the best for a long and distinguished broadway career.
My god. This whole cast has so much freaking talent!
Wtf are people on about Barrett for? This is the best she’s ever sounded. She’s not constricting or pushing as hard as usual. Smashing it girl 🙌
I saw Danielle Wade on tour, and I definitely think she captures the role of Cady. She’s no Erika Henningsen, but wow she is amazing!! And she is the sweetest human being ever, I met her at stage door
Renee is going to make a fantastic Regina!
I don’t understand how people say that Barrett wasn’t in character or excited. Did y’all even watch I’d rather be me?!?!
So glad they had Danielle do the tour, she's amazing and seeing her live was crazy
this is the first time i’m seeing renee perform live and *w o w*
her facial expressions are so amazingly perfect. like i feel scared because of how intimidating she looks- but she also looks so enduring and helpless like idek how to explain it. i’m just seriously impressed
and i don’t even need to talk about her vocals, because we all already know 😩
can anyone else just hear the ensemble parts even though they arent there 😂
danielle wade is going to be so good on the tour wow
Reneé Rapp staring into my soul during Someone Gets Hurt could cure diseases I swear.
10:45 god how I wish that was the studio version 😂
i’m never gonna get over renee oh my she’s insane
no one:
me: chants *janis**janis**janis*
the girl who plays regina is incredibly talented like holy fuck
danielle wade literally is so sosososososos good holy wow
and renee is just effortlessly amazing
Look how energetic and smiley Barrett seemed! What are some of y’all even TALKING about
guys renee rap is best thing on the world right lets agree on this
barrett's smile is literally everything to me ughh
I’m in love with Renee Rapp. Like no joke
RENEE RAPP IS AN ABSOLUTE GODDESS I LOVE HER W MY WHOLE HEART
Renee better get cast as Regina in the Broadway movie cause swear down
Barrett wilbert weed will forever be my favourite human
Why aren’t people talking about how amazing Daniel Wade is in this
Renee is a beast! That’s all I can say. She really embodies the essence of Regina in this show. It’s amazing!
RENEE AND BARRET OMGGG
if renee is this incredible now just imagine what she'll be like in a few years
hearing stupid with love belted is soooooo cool. I love Erika’s Mixing but I also love Dani’s belting
