RENT - Light My Candle - Original Broadway Cast

[@TheRulerofEarth4444]

Everyone debating Mimi actresses but no one is commenting on the fact that this is the weirdest seduction song to ever hit Broadway.

[@Goldenretriever-k8m]

Jonathan Larson looooved Daphne as Mimi. This song actually was what really got Rent some attention from the Press before RENT went to Broadway.

[@MissHelloKittyX0X0]

raspy voices are awesome. it gives her personality. and btws shes kinda a junkie.

PREACH AF

This is so great. I heard this years ago and I've had it in my head for days and days. Brings tears to my eyes because now I can identify with it, based on my owm experiences with relationships and addiction over the last few years.
Amazing

[@mandereeze3]

I always listened to this on pandora and I was always just like, "ok, just another song, i'll do homework." when I finally listened to the lyrics, I felt like I was intruding.

[@keikinou]

I prefer Renee actually, by Daphne's voice suits Mimi well. It sounds like the voice of a druggie lost 19 year old girl.

[@1jidion]

honestly i prefer rosario over both of them

[@Pooleman96]

It's so funny how I'm so used to hearing the movie version of 'Light My Candle' and listening to how earthier the music in the OBC version is! As for the Rosario/Daphne debate, I'm a neutral party since I don't mind either one.

[@joannabaker7402]

Pooleman96 me too!!!

[@thuynguy3n250]

I love Daphne's voice but I prefer Rosario's voice because she sounded like a young adult, but Daphne's voice is like really good

[@michaelhess6482]

Reena, Rosario and Tinashe were better

[@michaelhess6482]

Daphne was okay, Reena was good and so was Rosario she was good too but Tinashe was great

[@michaelhess6482]

Reena, Rosario and Tinashe were great and alot better than Daphne

[@erzajean6524]

@@michaelhess6482 Daphne's raspy voice sounds more realistic her character as a city junkie/addict, that's why Jonathan Larson kept her on the project along with Anthony.

[@michaelhess6482]

@@erzajean6524 like I said said she was okay but the other 3 girls were better

[@urbansetter1]

The original Mimi was made for this part. Remember she was supposed to be a junkie not a star out of Hollywood.

[@hutch1197]

It's a fictional role. It doesn't matter who plays it as long as she's good. And Rosario did an excellent job. She added a sweetness and vulnerability to the character because she's a superior actress.

[@booradley3400]

I remember some ex girlfriend of mine lent me this cd 20 years ago. Crazy how much this reminds me of that time. Hope you’re doing well Christina.

[@cyberdog210]

It's a living

[@scruffyp9480]

The music behind it actually sounds like their conversation.

[@Otto500206]

Actuakly, many songs of Rent is just conversations in a song format.

[@mikockla]

They both sound pretty god damn amazing to me.

[@michaelplait2053]

- best version of this tune, ever ! - thanks for getting it up here -

[@gerardyatcilla4839]

Always...rent!!!

[@wisdomseeker03]

her voice is raspy

[@QuincySeagull]

So odd how the iTunes song of this says it’s Anthony rapp singing this song

[@claire-ionies1884]

On iTunes there are a couple songs where they mixed up Anthony and Adam 😂

[@fumikotsukumi017]

ONLY NINETEEN BUT HER MIND IS OL- oh sorry wrong musical

[@sherelenechan9152]

Kazuo Tsukumi hAmiLtOn yEs 😆

[@deidara6796]

Tbh i think Daphne's voice suits Mimi the best

[@barnesrm76]

shes original.only wasnt in the movie because she was preggo.

[@winterparkmark5014]

Rosario's voice is vanilla. Daphne's voice has more effects and cuteness.

[@xavierbranch2583]

daphne sound wierd
