"Discovering Hidden Facts: 3 Things You Didn't Know About Reneé Rapp, 'Mean Girls' Star, and 'SNL' Musical Guest"

 

Reneé Rapp has captured global attention through her music, recent portrayal in the new Mean Girls musical movie, and notably, her exuberant antics during the promotional tour for the film. Her debut studio album, "Snow Angel," released in August, includes tracks like "Pretty Girls," "Tummy Hurts," and the title track "Snow Angel," earning positive feedback from critics who appreciate her wit and relatability.

Traumatic Broadway Experience

In 2018, Rapp won a national Jimmy Award for her high school musical theater performance and, at 19, secured the coveted role of Regina George in the Broadway production of Mean Girls. Currently reprising the role in the film adaptation, she disclosed the traumatic experiences she faced on Broadway, battling an eating disorder exacerbated by the show's directors. Despite her success in high school theater, winning a Blumey Award for her role as Sandra in "Big Fish," and performing in productions like "Spring Awakening," Rapp's Broadway stint became a challenging period for her.

ADHD and Creative Process

Reneé Rapp is open about her attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), attributing it to enhancing her creative process. Acknowledging her ADHD diagnosis, she shared with Official Charts in August 2023 that it helps generate multiple ideas during her songwriting process. While she acknowledges the exhausting aspect, Rapp finds joy in the constant flow of ideas, stating that it enhances her comedy and coping abilities.

TV Career Push

Initially aiming for a direct entry into the music industry, Rapp was persuaded to try television first. This decision led to her role as the closeted lesbian and queen bee Leighton in "The Sex Lives of College Girls." Despite her desire for a music-centric career, Rapp recognizes the significance of Mean Girls in shaping her trajectory. Now, with a growing platform, she continues to make music as intended, currently on her Snow Hard Feelings Tour scheduled for 2024, including stops in Paris, across Europe and the UK, and concluding with a performance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April.

Rapp's journey demonstrates a transition from her Broadway struggles to finding success in both television and music. Initially hesitant about her foray into TV, her role in "The Sex Lives of College Girls" became a pivotal step in her career. Embracing her first significant job on Broadway in "Mean Girls," she acknowledged its importance and the allure of transitioning to the big screen for the movie adaptation.

With her platform expanding, Rapp has become a TikTok sensation and gained recognition in mainstream music with her album "Snow Angel." Her ongoing Snow Hard Feelings Tour attests to her commitment to music, showcasing her talents across different cities and concluding with a performance at the renowned Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April 2024.
