Congratulations are in order!!!

The LA Times and Broadwayworld.com are confirming that our Vanessa Hudgens will play Mimi in the Hollywood Bowl’s run of the Tony and Pulitzer winning musical, Rent.

Vanessa will play the club dancer and drug addict who has HIV, Mimi Marquez from August 6-8.

This Hollywood Bowl run of the well-love musical will be helmed by Vanessa’s Beastly co-star, Neil Patrick Harris. Here’s what Neil told Broadwayworld.com on Vanessa’s casting:

On casting Vanessa Hudgens, Neil Patrick Harris says, “She came in for a work session, and I must say, Vanessa really impressed. She looks amazing, has great vocal chops, and seems really committed to honoring the somewhat iconic role of Mimi. I look forward to audiences seeing a dark, edgy, and very different side of Vanessa Hudgens this August.”

Tickets will be available for purchase starting May 2, 2010 at HollywoodBowl.com, by phone at 323-850-2000, in person at the Hollywood Bowl box office, or by calling Ticketmaster at 800.745.3000, and at all Ticketmaster outlets. Pre-sale is April 27
