The other day, I was invited to the filming of the Broadway show RENT which will be released in theaters in September. Even though there was a movie of RENT, nothing compares to the live show which is amazing. This is me and the rediculously talented Karmine Alers who played Mimi for years on Broadway. Interesting side note: The role of Mimi was actually written for Karmine but it took her a few years to get it. Better late than never I say. In my opinion, Karmine’s Mimi is hands down the best I’ve seen…and I’ve seen 10 different Mimis. Karmine also stars in WHIRLWIND which I directed…and she’s fucking great!
