People That Would Make The Ultimate Cast For 'Rent: Live' On Fox

I'll refuse to accept it if Fox casts a Hollywood pretty-boy as Roger.

In case you haven't heard yet, Rent will be coming to Fox later this year. It follows many other live movie performances, most notable being "Grease Live". For some people, this news is fantastic. For others, their eyes just won't stop rolling.

Personally, I'm intrigued. But the second "Rent" gets messed with, I feel personally attacked. "Grease" and the "Sound of Music" are cutesy musicals that can do well with a star-studded cast. This time it's different.

If you've read this far, that means you probably care more than most about musical theatre. And if you haven't already, you'll start lying awake at night hoping they don't cast a stupid pretty-boy as Roger.

We're a special breed of human and I'm not afraid to admit that I've emailed Fox a few times with some cast suggestions:

Ben Platt as Mark


From the goofy guy in Pitch Perfect to the star of Dear Evan Hanson, Ben Platt has a talent no one expected from him.

Jeremy Jordan as Roger


It's pretty often that Jeremy gets the opportunity to play a role where the character does nothing but feels bad for themselves. Here is no exception.

Naya Rivera as Mimi

Naya's attitude and vocal power can follow and compete with all of the Mimi's that came before her.

Lea Michele as Maureen


Her looks always seem to match her roles to those of Idina Menzel, but she stands out among others with her personality. She makes the room stop for her and can influence a crowd to moo with no problem.

Jennifer Hudson as Joanne


I just want an excuse to listen to her sing. Angelic.

Leslie Odom Jr. as Benny


He's recently become a household name as Aaron Burr in Hamilton. His ability to lead unapologetically will make him the best Benny possible.

Wilson Jermaine Heredia as Angel


Sometimes, you can't mess with the originals.

Jamie Foxx as Collins


Jamie is the lovable and friendly guy that we could count on Collins to be. He's a little older than Collins in the show but still has the energy to do it justice.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
