People always complain about Tracie not getting this role sooner, but let's be honest. It's wasn't her talent as a singer or an actress that made them not choose her so many times. It was her age. She was much too young when she first auditioned. Joanne isn't supposed to be that young and it just wouldn't have worked, and she was playing a lawyer. But she got the role in the end and killed it, played it perfectly because it fit her so well and she just grew into it :) These two are just the best
Fabulous ! Eden looks lovely and Tracie is her usual foxy, sexy funny self -- and great performance, it's actually a litte bittersweet to see them sing this, now that Rent has closed. Ma favourite Joanne and Maureen, and two beautiful women all around ! Thanks so much for posting.
God they are so hot and beautiful and stunning and talented. I just love them. I love the Tracie-Maureen triangle. (Idina, Tracie, Eden) I don't care who is singing what if it is with them I'll love it hahaha
If you're here for the first time, here's how to get the best out of this clip. First time, watch the lady who is singing. Second time, watch the lady who ISN'T singing. You'll grab some excellent facial expressions.
like OMG i love this song!!! tracie and eden make a great duo. i wish we could see them together more often. watching this video i couldnt stop laughing at tracie's expressions while eden was singing. it was so funny!!!
it's funny that you mention that... cause it's been 2 musicals now that she's reprised Idina, first as Elphaba in Wicked and now as Maureen in RENT. They really are similar, and both amazingly talented in their own ways. =D
Tracie near the end of Eden's solo! Her expressions and mannerisms...SO FUNNY. Her gestures and stuff, oh Tracie... By the way, does anyone else want to hear Tracie sing Aquarius from Hair as bad as I do?
Eden makes a better Maureen than when she plays Elphaba. I love both of their voices equally, but personally no one makes a better Maureen than Idina Menzel, at least in my opinion.
They kinda incorporated the caracthers! I laughed soooo much! I don't like comparissons, but Idina's THE best Maureen ever, and Tracie is the best Joanne!! Eden is not bad though :]
actually... if you add eden's facebook... she has this same performance but shot from a much better angle and you can TOTALLY see the kiss at the end. *winks* hope that helped!
IAmania289 she says, "If I have to kiss a girl ..." implying that she's glad it's Eden. Just playing up to the crowd, like the consummate professional that she is.
@mewingkittycat Not just the piano. I think Eden may have come in earlier than they expected but the muscians should have adapted. She coped with it admirably.
i want tracie's dress so bad its so cute! not so sure what the heck eden's wearing tho. its a bit too ruffley for my liking but at least it looks good on her lol

"And by the way, if I have to kiss a girl" I love Tracie!
*Eden begins singing*
Tracie: *fans herself due to Eden’s hotness*
Me: don’t worry gurl me too
Eden is the only person in the world who can play Maureen as well as Idina.
Tracie's facial expressions are amazing! Eden's voice is over the top in this video. Tracie sounds amazing also! Perfect!
lmao i LOVE Tracies reaction to Eden :D especially when Eden sings " dont u want ur girl hot!" Tracie obviously does :P great chemistry
Tracie and Idina still have the BEST Maureen/Joanne chemistry.
Ben Schaeffer pffft nope.
The chemistry right here is hot.
Eden did own this one as well. I'm use to Idina of course but Eden has her own diva strengths in RENT and Wicked. They are both awesome!
Tracie is the best Joanne, can't believe it took her so long to get the role :-D
Tracie was BORN to do this part

I'm amazed at how her voice never sounds less than flawless.
Most singers sound weird live, but she sounds just as amazing.
God they are so hot and beautiful and stunning and talented. I just love them. I love the Tracie-Maureen triangle. (Idina, Tracie, Eden) I don't care who is singing what if it is with them I'll love it hahaha
Eden's riffs are like 😍😍😍

If you're here for the first time, here's how to get the best out of this clip.
First time, watch the lady who is singing.
Second time, watch the lady who ISN'T singing.
You'll grab some excellent facial expressions.
It's very hard to fill Idina's shoes. But Eden does it great!!!
like OMG i love this song!!! tracie and eden make a great duo. i wish we could see them together more often. watching this video i couldnt stop laughing at tracie's expressions while eden was singing. it was so funny!!!
Tracie's face at 4:20 is PRICELESS!

They can sing their asses off! I love it!
Tracie is the best Joanne ever in life itself her voice is OUT OF THIS WORLD

I don't care what ANYBODY says. BOTH Edina and Eden are AMAZING. :)
AHH--MAY--ZING!
Thanks for putting it up.
it's funny that you mention that... cause it's been 2 musicals now that she's reprised Idina, first as Elphaba in Wicked and now as Maureen in RENT. They really are similar, and both amazingly talented in their own ways. =D

So good.
uh oh... looks like tracie stole a kiss....!

HOTTEST maureen/joanne ever!
Woo. Great video! At first I thought Eden was Idina Menzel. Haha.
LMAO I just noticed that...WOW I love her
I love how they are like.....drunk haha. best ever
they would be so great togheter
that could be why eden was idina's original standby on the original wicked broadway cast... haha.
They're both great! But Eden's belt is FIERCE!!!
Tracie's face @ 1:38....cute!!
tracie es la mejor jhoaen sin duda alguna
i never realized how much eden looks like idina
I am friends with her in facebook and this is the video on there
I LOVE Eden, but Idina owns this song!
i was wondering if you had any of Tracie's other performances that night??
Eden makes a better Maureen than when she plays Elphaba. I love both of their voices equally, but personally no one makes a better Maureen than Idina Menzel, at least in my opinion.
GAHHH... amazing!
What does Tracie say after "if I had to kiss a girl.." ? There's screaming and then I just can't hear.
8 times a week
Love how in sync they are...and actually I hated Eden as Elphie, but LOVE her in this :)
Tracie is just legendary :)
They kinda incorporated the caracthers! I laughed soooo much!
I don't like comparissons, but Idina's THE best Maureen ever, and Tracie is the best Joanne!! Eden is not bad though :]
Eden is fucking fierce!!! OMG! =-0
@JGuar1212 That was a glass bottle of french spring water lol
actually... if you add eden's facebook... she has this same performance but shot from a much better angle and you can TOTALLY see the kiss at the end. *winks* hope that helped!
makes me proud 2b bisexual.....sing it, gals, SING IT....!
tracie is the vest joanne and idina is the maureen
What does she say about kissing a girl?
what does tracie say before they start singing? i can't understand it :( could someone tell me, please?
IAmania289 she says, "If I have to kiss a girl ..." implying that she's glad it's Eden.
Just playing up to the crowd, like the consummate professional that she is.
I've heard it called the "thumbelina"
eden has facebook?!?!? :O please please tell me more? lol thanks x
@mewingkittycat Not just the piano. I think Eden may have come in earlier than they expected but the muscians should have adapted. She coped with it admirably.
lol @ 4:26 Tracie slaps Edens bum & she says ow!!
@kiddoswan via Eden on Twitter Yes I'm keeping my name for stage purposes!
how old is eden?
tracie is such a pretty woman, why doesn't she look like this in the movie?
Mathilde Maassen she has shorter hair in the film. I don't think the cut suited her as much.
Eden isn't a patch on Idina
It's so weird. Joanne is so uptight and has a bit of a masculine air in the movie, but Tracie Thoms is so cute and she seems really fun loving.
eden the best maureen after idina that is
she even sorta looks like Idina!
I would so be a male fan girl....if I were there too...haha...
@biggestChenofan really? damn i have always been told to spit out my gum when singing. lol
i want tracie's dress so bad its so cute! not so sure what the heck eden's wearing tho. its a bit too ruffley for my liking but at least it looks good on her lol
ese ultimo beso fue ¡se besaron en la boca ! acabo de morir xD
wtf is going on with the band in this? someone forget their music or something??
she said "if i had to kiss a girl 8 times a week" and then she does the hand motion as eden walks up in front of her
They seem drunk as hell in this i stg
i think its hard to be compared to Idina all the time.. but Eden is still good..
really great preformance... but i think that Tracie hit that bottle to many times... she seemed a little tipsey!! lol ;)
i think she started a tad too early...
Band fucked up big time :(
doesn't anyone notice eden chewing gum? haha
