Actress Vanessa Hudgens has landed the role of Mimi in the upcoming three-night only run of ‘Rent’ in Los Angeles.
“She came in for a work session, and I must say, Vanessa really impressed,” said Neil Patrick Harris, the show’s director.
“She looks amazing, has great vocal chops, and seems really committed to honoring the somewhat iconic role of Mimi. I look forward to audiences seeing a dark, edgy, and very different side of Vanessa Hudgens this August.”
Mimi is an HIV-positive exotic dancer and drug addict. The role has been played by numerous actresses like Daphne Rubin-Vega and Rosario Dawson.
Hudgens, who recently graduated from Disney’s “High School Musical” as Gabriella Montez, will also be seen in the upcoming films “Sucker Punch” and Beastly.
