Genderbent Rent Cast
A petition to call this GenderRent (I hope I didnāt steal this, if I did Iām sorry).
How I think this will work: I think it would work absolutely great! It is true, for it to work some lyrics would have to be changed, but nothing drastic. For example, it would be weird for Marco Marquez saying āThey say I have the best ass below 14th streetāā¦or would it? Forget that, bad example, but you get my drift. Other than that, I think it would be great!
Molly Cohen- Dianna Argon
Diana Argon is known for her role on Glee, so singing wouldnāt be a problem with her. As seen in I Am Number Four, she knows her way with a camera. Trueā¦different kind of camera. Anyway, she has played both the mean girl and good girl multiple times, so I think it would be interesting, seeing her play the quirky goofball.
Rowan Davis- Taylor Momsen
It is true Taylor hasnāt acted in a while, but thatās because she has been focusing on her music career with her band āThe Pretty Recklessā. Iām sure she wouldnāt mind playing a character like Roger, a former addict rockstar. She has that edgy look and the wild side, and has the singing chops for sure. And with that hair. My. God. Imagine the hair flips and pure gorgeousness.
Marco Marquez- James Maslow
James proved he could sing and flirt at he same time during his days with Big Time Rush. And as his character would clarify, he has the body. He still holds a music career and you can hear some covers and original songs on YouTube, so I think this would be good for him. And before you say āHeās a Nick star, he probably canāt singā. And all I have to say is if Carlos can be Kenickie, James can pull of a guy version of Mimi
Maurice Johnson- Adam Lambert
This role is perfect for him. HE EVEN HAS THE SAME HAIR INTHIS PICTURE! Adam Lambert is known for his flirtatious attitude while he performs. He is currently working on The Rocky Horror Picture Show Event, and his own music career. Just imagine this nut performing Over The Moon.
Joshua Jefferson- Elijah Kelley
Another actor whoās used to remaking a musical (The Scarecrow in The Wiz). He also lended his voice in Strange Magic. I admit, this was probably the hardest one. Then I imagined him singing the verse in Take Me or Leave me, and I was sold.
Tanya Collins- Normani Kordei
Normani has been destroying the game right now with Fifth Harmomy. Not only her voice makes her great, but the girl has a whole other career built on dancing. If my memory serves me right, Collins is the oldest of them all. It would be ironic cause Normani is probably the youngest actress Iāve picked, but she sure as hell doesnāt look like it.
Bonnie Coffin III- Jennifer Hudson
Jennifer is one of the nicest woman in the world, so seeing her play someone like Benny would be very interesting. And I canāt help but hearing her sing the first line in La Vie Bohem.
Angel Dumott Schunard- Colton Haynes
Iām sorry. I canāt see it any other way. Angel has to be played by a boy. Iāve tried so hard to see it the other way, but I canāt. Colton does have a singer, and is no stranger to dressing like a woman (this guyās Halloween costumes are the bomb). The actor just came out of the closet as well. And he really does look like Wilson Jermaine Heredia.
That is my first genderbent cast and I hope you guys like it. If you have any suggestions or notes please let me know, and if you have a cast you want me to genderbend ask away, and thatās it Bye for now!
